[Solved] ZSH auto-completion in BASH?

Hi everyone, I'm using BASH but I really like the way ZSH handles auto completion. For instance, in BASH, if I type vi and press [Tab], it shows my possible options but my cursor makes a new line. Therefore, if I press [Tab] again, the same thing will be created over and over. What I like about ZSH auto-completion is that when I press tab, the auto-completion fills the screen, but my cursor doesn't jump to a new line. Therefore, the actual output of the command and the [Tab] auto-completion output occupy the same space. Does anyone know a way I could have BASH perform in a way similar to this?
Thanks!

If you want this, just use Zsh (it has all sorts of other advantages as well).
Thanks for your reply jasonwryan.
I'm trying out zsh thus far and I'm liking it. It's rather easy to use and has most of the good features of BASH as well as some other nice ones I didn't have before (including the way it does tab completion and right side prompts).
Thanks!

[solved]zsh history completion not matching after first word?

Hi!
I just switched to zsh some days ago and I can't get the history search completion working like it's used to work with bash (history-search-backward / history-search-forward)
I installed grml-zsh-config, tried to rewrite most of my .bashrc to work with zsh... read a lot of man pages and changed some settings (and broke some random things... and un-broke most of them again)...
Now when I enter p.e.:
$ sudo tes
...and press the up/down arrows, it keeps the "sudo" but not the "tes" - it goes trough all commands that I called with sudo. Seems to behave the same way for other commands - keeps the first word, ignores everything else I typed.
No idea what this is called, what it's good for or how to change it.
Where do I look for this?

^ I've not used that, so I can't say whether or not my solution is better or worse. However, I suggest using "up-line-or-beginning-search"/"down-line-or-beginning-search", as described in zshall:
up-line-or-beginning-search, down-line-or-beginning-search
These widgets are similar to the builtin functions up-line-or-search and
down-line-or-search: if in a multiline buffer they move up or down within the buf‐
fer, otherwise they search for a history line matching the start of the current
line. In this case, however, they search for a line which matches the current line
up to the current cursor position, in the manner of history-beginning-search-back‐
ward and -forward, rather than the first word on the line.
From my .zshrc:
autoload up-line-or-beginning-search
autoload down-line-or-beginning-search
zle -N up-line-or-beginning-search
zle -N down-line-or-beginning-search
bindkey "\e[A" up-line-or-beginning-search
bindkey "\e[B" down-line-or-beginning-search

[SOLVED]zsh completion config not being loaded but other settings work

This seems like a slightly odd problem. I've been using zsh quite happily for a while now and as far as I've been aware, my .zshrc has been loaded consistently and properly.
Today I decided to add auto-completion for one of my own programs. It works, BUT I have to manually `source ~/.zshrc` in each new terminal even after logging out and back in. The `fpath` variable is not being read from the .zshrc when I log in or start a terminal/emulator, but if I manually source .zshrc it works fine.
Here are the relevant files:
~/.zshenv
#!/bin/zsh
ZDOTDIR=~/.config/zsh
typeset -U path

The only changes I've made are the lines under "COMPLETION."
Can anyone spot something in there to suggest why everything seems to work except the `fpath=(~/.config/zsh/completion $fpath)` line?

[SOLVED] Slight issue concerning pacman & bash completion

Hi all,
I've come across a small issue when using the -Rs option with pacman.
The auto completion doesn't appear to be working for the first package name passed after the -Rs option.
For example, when issuing the command
pacman -Rs firefox
and pressing tab twice, it will not show any options or auto-complete. However, if I add another package to be removed:
pacman -Rs firefox chr
and hit the tab key twice, autocomplete will work, and it'll autocomplete to chromium.
Bash-completion (2.0-3) is installed, and the rest of the system is up to date. Am I missing something here, or have I stumbled upon a bug?

I don't know so much about it, but I'm under the impression that bash-completion for pacman (once enabled in ~/.bashrc by adding "complete -cf pacman") works by default by checking the user's PATH variable, i.e. it will offer to complete pacman commands with the name of any executable in the user's PATH's () as well as the contents of the current directory. ... which means: if firefox isn't installed, it won't find it; if it is, it will offer this completion; if there's a file called firefox in the current directory, it will also offer it.
but as I said, I'm not an expert on bash-completion

Zsh modutils completion (solved & bug report)

Hi,
Since last zsh update, I can't get 'modinfo' & 'modprobe' completion, only 'rmmod' & 'modprobe -r' are working actually (easy with '/proc/modules'). It seems that a new caching algorithm was implemented in the last version but I don't understand it . Diff with zsh 4.3.11 _modutils :

Wow, thanks it works, but there's a problem, modules appears with *.ko suffix so
modules=( $modules_dir/$kver/(*~(source|build))/**/*.(o|ko|ko.gz)(.:t:r:r) )
is even better .
taken from http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide05.html :
print ${p:t:r}
will work for both arrays and scalars: the :t takes only the tail of the filename, stripping the directories, and the :r removes the suffix. These two operators could have slightly unexpected effects in versions of zsh before 4.0.1, removing `suffixes' which contained directory paths, for example (though this is what the pattern forms taken separately do, too).

[SOLVED]ZSH and regular expressions

Hi
I am getting into regular expressions and i have noticed that with my .zshrc file i have some problem. In bash this expression works:
\^\[^#]
but not also in zsh. I have also noted that regular expression works fine with other zshrc configurations found in archwiki (like grml) but i want to have my configuration. And i really can't find what command make a difference

Could you try being a bit more specific?
Firstly, i am sorry i didn't post the output. I should have know better.
Secondly, chill out.
I have used above regex with grep command. Output from terminal is:
zsh: bad pattern: ^[^#]
In bash it works perfectly.
If i issue "setopt re_match_pcre" i have the same ouput as above.
EDIT: If i issue "unsetopt no_match" it actually works but i have to change the regex from "\^\[^#]" to "\^[^#]" otherwise i get the same output as above. In bash both options work.

[SOLVED] zsh command is echoed back in tty

When I am in a tty and type a command such as "ls" I get:
$ ls
lsDirectory/
$
instead of
$ ls
Directory/
$
This is an annoyance. It has something to do with an option in my zshrc but I am not sure which one (I tried removing it to verify and yeah that's it). When I am in a terminal inside of X I do not have this issue. It is also not an issue in bash. Here is my .zshrc file:

preexec () {

or `if [[ "$TERM" == "linux" ]];` which has a couple minor advantages. First it doesn't need to spawn another subprocess, and second, if you ever *do* end up using tmux/screen/fbterm in a tty, then you'll still have the "window" title (tab) set in those envrionments too.
EDIT: my suggested condition is of the opposite logic, so use an else, !, or not-equal comparison.
My bashrc has a number of settings in one good size if/then/else/fi block for settings that should differ between virtual terminals and ttys. I don't know if you can define functions inside conditionals ... I doubt it, but I guess I've never really tried. If possible, this would be handy so the conditional doesn't have to be evaluated every time the preexec is called.

Auto-complete for the email addresses in the mail app is not working

Hi, could somebody kindly help, please?
I have just got a new iphone 5s after my old 5 got broken. When I got the new 5s one I had to restore everything from the back-up copy I had on my ipad or in my icloud, whatever.
The problem is that in the standard mail app which you have at the bottom of the screen auto-complete for the email addresses is not working on this new iphone. However, it still works on the ipad.
Can I turn it on somewhere or is it a bug? I remember When my old iohone was new as well as the ipad and ipod, I did not have to turn on anything. The recent email addresses list (appears when one starts to type an address in the address bar when writing a new email message) appeared automatically. And on this phone it doesn't appear at all. It doesn't suggest me any recent or whichever email addresses and I am really lazy to type an address each time.
Could this be solved?
Many thanks in advance for the eventual help.

I am also getting same problem...................anybody please help.

Can't disable Web Address Auto-complete in Safari nor Firefox

Hi there,
I am trying to disable the web address auto-complete in order to access my Intranet Server. I tried configuration inside Web Browser (firefox) but doesn't work. Seems to be system configuration since is the same with Safari. If I enter the address http://myserver:8080 always autocompletes to http://www.myserver.com:8080 and can't access the Intranet web server...
Thanks in advance for the help.

Mac OSX 10.6.2

Safari and Firefox, both have a configuration utility to solve this. In Firefox, writing about:config in the address bar and look for the features that contains the prefix www and the suffix .com, clear those two fields and that's it.
So, the problem was browser related, not system related.
Thanks

Problem using auto-complete SQL Developer

Hi everyone ...
I'm having a problem using the SQL Developer 3.2.20.09 87 ... when I try to use auto-complete in a 'SELECT' clause at a specific table (EX: clients.cod_client), if I have more tables in my 'FROM' clause, the program shows all columns from all tables. Even if I have specified the table I want to show the columns (like the exemple: clients.<columns>) ...
I've tryed to change the properties at preferences->insight ... but there's no option to change it there.
So, if anyone have faced this problem and solved, please help me ;)

Hi,
There is a specific forum for this kind of question which are not related to PL/SQL: {forum:id=260}
Please mark this question as answered and post your question there.

The URL does not auto complete nor does the favicon display

When I type in a partial URL, such as apple, it used to be completed to the full URL and display the Apple favicon. It now goes to the website, but the typed word, apple, remains without completing the URL. The favicon remains as a blue dot.
I have reinstalled Lion, to solve other issues which have been resolved. The Safari issue is not resolved. I cannot download a new Safari copy for the only Safari 5.1 available in support > downloads is for Snow Leopard.
I know many don't like the auto complete URL feature, but I like to know the full address.

Go to ~/Library/Safari.
Move the WebpageIcons.db and the LastSesssion.plist files from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Now go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari.
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Unfortunately, the only way to reinstall Safari if necessary is to use Lion Recovery.

How to remove entries from the new auto-complete ?

Firefox 33 came with a new auto-complete for forms. Unfortunately I cannot seem to delete the auto-complete suggestions once they have been stored. This is necessary functionality for things like mis-spelled words, where you want to get rid of the old (bad) auto-complete entry, or where username was changed on a form, etc. With the older versions, you could just press delete key on highlighted auto-complete suggestion and it would be removed, but this functionality does not work with the new auto-complete. The only workaround I have been able to find so far is to clear the browser history for the last 1 hour, but that wipes out good history as well as the error.

Hello,
Can you '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' and see if you have the same problem there? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

ADF: auto complete in tutorial does not work

Hi all,
I'm studying ADF tutorials. Developing Rich Web Applications with Oracle ADF tutorial has a sample of Auto-complete property. I followed the tutorial from the first step but cannot go further because At Part 3, Step 3 it is not possible to drag an Autocomplete Behaviour onto Combobox. Futhermore in the screenshots, it seems possible to type into Combobox which i never see such an example before.
This is the link of the Step that i'm talking about:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_55/jdtut_11r2_55_3.html
Thanks in advance,

I finally found a way to correct it. When you drag and drop the whole view, JobID is type of Combo Box but it should be Input List of Values (Combo Box). To solve this you need to only delete that combo box (not the whole structure) and drag and drop the Job ID again. This time select List Of Values so it becomes a combo box with editable area. This part is not mentioned in the tutorial makes the confusion.
Edit: I just see your edit, the forum link points out the same problem. This is the workaround. Unfortunately one of the basic tutorials of Oracle ADF is confusing.

Hey, cor-rel thanks for your time but that didn't work for me.if you some programming solutions or any other please let me know.
use this link to get more familiar with problem
http://www.jadooghar.com/AjaxSolrSearch?query=vasant+kunj&what=&type_radio=on&for_radio=on&property_type=Residential&property_for=Sale
type "vasant kunj" manually in the "where" box 3-4 times so that firefox could generate auto suggestions for you then type "va" firefox will show you the auto complete suggestions. After that focus on auto complete and press "enter" then analyze the result with auto complete and without auto complete i .e manual typing
