Package: zsh-beta Version: 4.3.9-dev-1+20090301-1 Severity: wishlist I tried to show off zsh to a sceptic today and had to find out the hard way that it does not (yet) provide completion for history expansion modifiers, e.g.
echo !$:<TAB>
should list
h Remove a trailing pathname component, leaving the head. This works like
‘dirname’.
r Remove a filename extension of the form ‘.xxx’, leaving the root name.
e Remove all but the extension.
t Remove all leading pathname components, leaving the tail. This works like
‘basename’.
p Print the new command but do not execute it. Only works with history
expansion.
q Quote the substituted words, escaping further substitutions. Works with
history expan‐
sion and parameter expansion, though for parameters it is only useful if
the resulting
text is to be re-evaluated such as by eval.
Q Remove one level of quotes from the substituted words.
x Like q, but break into words at whitespace. Does not work with parameter
expansion.
l Convert the words to all lowercase.
u Convert the words to all uppercase.
etc.
