#compdef -k complete-word \C-xC

# Function to correct a filename.  Can be used as a completion widget,
# or as a function in its own right, in which case it will print the
# corrected filename to standard output.
#
# You can adapt max_approx to the maximum number of mistakes
# which are allowed in total.
#
# If the numeric prefix is greater than 1, the maximum number of errors
# will be set to that.

# Doesn't get right special characters in the filename; should
# strip them (e.g. "foo\ bar" -> "foo bar") and then re-insert them.
