Tab completion stopped working Sonoma

[ErikSom]

After upgrading my mac to 14.1.1 Sonoma, tab completion stopped working.
I tried reinstalling it, but no success. Any ideas?

Even Venture, it doesn't work

yeah I can confirm the zsh tab completion method doesn't work in MacOS anymore. I imagine they've changed the Mac defaults to use a different method. I think we're using the "old and busted" style and not the "new hotness" - or it could be some other zsh config change or update that broke things.

I don't really have an ETA on a fix. while I'm begrudgingly starting to switch over to zsh in daily use, since it's the default in more and more places, I'm not an expert, and I'm not a huge fan of how configurable and complicated it is.

While wiki does mention this , in my case adding setopt complete_aliases to my .zshrc fixed the issue so z now works and autocomplete paths as expected.

$ echo $SHELL
/opt/homebrew/bin/zsh

@pentago oh. it saved me. thank you! it works!

@pentago i tested. however it is not same as before.
this suggests only current directory's folders.

Ah, youre looking into actual z completions? No clue, it didnt occur to me that was a thing. I dont care much tbh, I just use z as cd with some brains..
