- manydots-magic - zle tweak for emulating
...==../..etc.
This tweek helps input ancestor directories beyond the parent (..)
in a handy way. You can just type triple dots to input ../..,
quadruple dots to ../../.., etc..
% .. [Hit <.>]
% ../.. [Hit <.>]
% ../../.. [Hit <^H>]
% ../.. [Hit <^H>]
% ..
As you see above, each of the /.. parts complemented by this tweak
can be deleted by a single invocation of the backward-delete-char
command, only if invoked right after the magic happens.
% .. [Hit </><.><.>]
% ../.. [Hit <^H>]
% ../.
Triple-dot is not a rarely used character sequence, and this tweak kind of "knows" when it should be expanded.
% ruby -e '(1.. [Hit <.>]
% ruby -e '(1...
% git log branch.. [Hit <.>]
% git log branch...
% git diff .. [Hit <.>]
% git diff ../.. [Hit <b>] <- This may be a path...
% git diff ...b [Hit <ranch>] <- Or not.
% git diff ...branch
Put the file manydots-magic somewhere in your $fpath (typically in
$ZDOTDIR which is set to something like ~/.zsh or ~/.zsh.d) and
add these lines to your .zshrc:
autoload -Uz manydots-magic
manydots-magic
If you are enabling url-quote-magic, make sure to load
url-quote-magic first and then load manydots-magic.
