Tab completion

[infusion]

Hi,

I'm not sure if it should address OMZ or zsh itself. When I type "cd ..", I would expect to browse the upper directory, without typing a slash. Is this possibly configurable or patchable with OMZ?

Thanks

I believe this is normal zsh behavior. The same thing happens with OMZ turned off. (You can test that by temporarily moving ~/.zshrc out of the way and starting a new zsh session.) I suspect that .. and .. are being handled specially, and not considered as candidates for completion when it's looking for a directory. (Probably to avoid ".." popping up where you usually wouldn't want it, e.g. as a completion candidate for a path element when you've already provided some leading path elements, or as a high-precedence exact match when you have more complicated completion options enabled, or in the presence of files which start with "..".)

You can look at the _cd function supplied with zsh to see exactly how it's doing the completion. (Though it can be pretty unreadable.) To find it, do for i in $fpath; do ls $i/_cd; done. The first one that's found is probably the one in effect for you.

I don't see an option to control it, so I think this is just normal zsh behavior.

Looks like a duplicate of #3775.
