I just switched from BASH to ZSH and thing are pretty good, but:
when I start typing cd /usr/share/s and hit TAB, this is what I get :
$ cd /usr/share/sane/
sane/ skype/ ssl-cert/
screen/ smplayer/ strigi/
seed-gtk3/ snmp/ synaptic/
sgml/ software-properties/ system-config-printer/
sgml-base/ soprano/ sysv-rc/
sgml-data/ sounds/
simple-scan/ splashy/
And this is ok. If I then hit TAB again, I get $ cd /usr/share/screen/, the next candidate, witch is also OK. (BTW, how do I cycle back to the previous candidate? Sorry, on to my question)
Now what if I want to see the contents of /usr/share/screen/ now ? You now, BASH-style? The cursor is at the end of the line, will I have to ctrl-a (or home), then del del (to erase cd) then ls then ENTER? That seems like a lot of typing. (And it - possibly unnecessarily - enters the command in the history)
Would not there be a key (maybe modifier-TAB? but the obvious candidates are already taken by the desktop... I digress) that would tell zsh to stop cycling through /usr/share/ and instead, just list the content /usr/share/screen/ ?
