.ssh/config host autocompletion fails

[binary132]

For every Host entry in my ~/.ssh/config file, when I do a tabbed autocompletion like the following:

(let's say the entry is "myhost")

ssh myh

The autocompletion becomes

ssh myhost$'\r'

This does not work as it is not a known host in my ~/.ssh/config.

@binary132, does this still happen with the current oh-my-zsh?

[paranojik]

Same happens to me with latest version of zsh.

@paranojik Care to submit a PR?

I just did a clean install on my new Mac and I'm still having this issue. Was anybody ever able to resolve this? (Happens on both iTerm and Terminal)

I finally managed to fix this. Add this to the bottom of your .zshrc file: https://superuser.com/a/1354860/37195

In my case it was just a line endind issue.
My ~/.ssh/config file contains "CRLF" (Windows style) lines ending. Switch to "LF" (Linux/Mac style) fixes the issue

Well... I won't get the hours back, but this is the solution. Thank you!!
