-*- text -*- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Completion has a habit of doing the wrong thing after a backslash/newline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you suspend "man", zle seems to get into cooked mode. It works ok for plain "less". It is not specific neither to man nor to zsh. E.g. call the following program foo: #include #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int status; if (!fork()) /* child */ execvp(argv[1], argv + 1); else /* parent */ wait(&status); } Then if you suspend % foo less something from zsh/bash, zle/readline gets into cooked mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ % zsh -c 'cat a_long_file | less ; :' can be interrupted with ^C. The prompt comes back and less is orphaned. If you go to the end of the file with less and cat terminates, ^C will not terminate less. The `; :' after less forces zsh to fork before executing less. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The pattern %?* matches names beginning with %? instead of names with at least two characters beginning with %. This is a hack to allow %?foo job substitution without quoting. This behaviour is incompatible with sh and ksh and may be removed in the future. A good fix would be to keep such patterns unchanged if they do not match regardless of the state of the nonomatch and nullglob options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Username completion may cause SEGV on SunOS 4.1.3 and NIS. This is not a zsh bug. See Etc/MACHINES for details. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sed seems to be broken on HP-UX 10.20 which prevents prototype generation and the result is that zsh fails to compile. sed in HP-UX 9.x works. Get an older working sed, get GNU sed or try to get a fixed version from your OS vendor (or write a makepro.sed which works on all platforms where the current version works). ------------------------------------------------------------------------
