# The "keeper" function suite originally appeared in several zsh-users
# posts in the fall of 2004.  It was published in summary form in the
# Shell Corner column on UnixReview.com in January 2005 at the URL
# <http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=9513/ur0501a/ur0501a.htm>
#
# A few minor edits have been made to those functions for this file.  Key
# bindings are commented out to avoid clashes with any existing bindings.

# The "keep" function accepts a set of file patterns as the positional
# parameters or a series of lines (expected to represent file names) on
# standard input.  It stores the expansion of those patterns, or the input
# lines, in the global variable $kept, and then displays the result
# formatted in columns, similar to an "ls" listing.  Its alias, also named
# "keep", prevents the file patterns from being expanded when the command
# line is executed; they're expanded in the assignment to $kept instead,
# so that the local settings of nonomatch etc. are applied.

# The function "_insert_kept" copies the value of $kept to the cursor
# position.  If a prefix of a name is immediately to the left of the
# cursor, then only the subset of $kept that matches that prefix is
# copied, as is usual for completion.  The examples bind it to two
# different widgets, "insert-kept-result" and "expand-kept-result".  If
# invoked via the "expand-kept-result" widget, it replaces a pattern on
# the command line with the matching words from the $kept array.
