Migrating from nvm to fnm, lost tab completions

[pastelmind]

This is not a problem caused by fnm, but nvm. However, I feel this should be mentioned here since many people are migrating from nvm to fnm, and some of them may trip on the same issue. Perhaps this fact could be mentioned in a FAQ or Troubleshooting section?

Nvm enables Zsh's tab completion (via autoload -U compinit) during initialization. This also enables built-in completions for many other tools, such as Git. I had been unknowingly relying on this behavior since I installed nvm.

When I removed nvm to use fnm, tab completion was disabled. I had to manually enable completions in my .zshrc to get it working again (and add fnm's own completions):

# ~/.zshrc

# I put my custom completions in ~/.zcompletions/ 
fpath+=~/.zcompletions
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit

# ...
