It's a long shot, but I was wondering if there was a way in zsh, with certain commands, to automatically quote the rest of the line. Eg, for the command he
he (foo*bar + baz)^2
I want it to parse as if I had written
he '(foo*bar + baz)^2'
The reason is that I like to call out to Perl or Haskell for certain tasks and I don't like having to worry about quoting (esp. because sometimes I have reason to use single quote in the expression).
I think rc_quotes option is good enough.
RC_QUOTES
Allow the character sequence `''' to signify a single quote
within singly quoted strings. Note this does not apply in quoted
strings using the format $'...', where a backslashed single quote
can be used.
But if you want, you can write a custom accept-line widget to auto quote for you.
Here is an example, it will quote everything behind python -c:
function quote-accept-line() {
local -a starts_with=("python -c ")
for str ($starts_with) {
if [[ ${(M)BUFFER#$str} ]] {
BUFFER=$str${(qq)BUFFER#$str}
}
}
zle accept-line
}
zle -N quote-accept-line
# bind it to "Enter"
bindkey "^M" quote-accept-line
Copy these code to your ~/.zshrc.
