Z Shell Completion for GHC, Cabal and Hugs
The Z Shell is a powerful shell with extensive completion support.
Features
The _ghc script supports completion for ghc and ghc-pkg. The completion features include the following:
- all options with a description for each option
- directories
- package names
- system libraries (-l option)
- ghc-pkg commands
The _cabal script support completion for the cabal command. The completion features include the following:
- Cabal commands
- all options with a description for each option
- directories
- package names
The _hugs script provides completion for options.
Installation
Put the _ghc, _cabal and _hugs scripts in a path that zsh searches during autoloading, for example /usr/share/zsh/functions or a private directory (which must be added to the FPATH environment variable).
Completion must be enabled by adding to .zshrc the following lines:
autoload -U compinit compinit
Completion functionality can be configured using styles. These are set with the zstyle function.
Here are some examples:
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete _match _approximate zstyle ':completion:*' use-cache on zstyle ':completion:*:approximate:*' max-errors 1 numeric
See the zsh documenation for details on configuring the completion system.
