path expansion
|
When I type .somepath and press tab, the path is expanded on the command-line. This is useful. When I type ..somepath and try to expand the reverse path, this doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

I think this was never implemented, and you are the first to mention it. Zugg is currently working on other products, but I will put it on my list of things to bring up when the next zMud beta cycle starts.

OK. Thanks. I suppose there is probably some slick way to mimic the behaviour w/ an alias - maybe I'll look into that.

If you want the reverse of a path, you could use %pathreverse(). A little more typing than the ./.. shortcuts, but no need to write up an alias of your own.
EDIT: oh, wait, you said you wanted to expand it on the command-line when you press tab...take a look at this then:
#alias rpath {#insert %concat(".",%pathreverse(%-1))}
This will insert the reverse path into the command line in the .path format, and you need only to press tab afterwards.
