Improve default Zsh completion for z

[gi1242]

By default if I type z <Tab>, it shows me local directories twice.

Moreover, if I have a local directory called foo, then z o<Tab> shows nothing; but cd o<Tab> shows foo. (Also z f<Tab> shows foo twice).

This makes local directory completion worse than that of cd.

It can be fixed very easily: in __zoxide_z_complete, change

files -/

to

_cd

This will make the first argument of z complete local directories (exaclty like cd), and leave everything else alone.

The change you're proposing isn't working for me. Instead of doing eval "$(zoxide init zsh)" I've pasted the output of zoxide init zsh in my zshrc and modified _files -/ to _cd, but this doesn't fix it.

I want to complete the hello_world directory by doing z hwo<TAB> but that doesn't work.

This changes fixes the issue for me. Thanks @gi1242! @OrbitalHustler I needed to source the zoxide script after running autoload -Uz compinit

[OrbitalHustler]

Thanks @ryankask ! Figured out my issue, I had to put my autoload -Uz compinit first, eval the updated function next, and finish by compinit -i -u

@ajeetdsouza any chance of this being added into zoxide? do you see an issue with this fix?

still doesn't work for me, not on my personal machine but it does work on my work one. both are MacOS, with identical config.

using z works as expected

edit: I was able to make it work by using --no-cmd and manually adding

\builtin alias cd=__zoxide_z
\builtin alias cdi=__zoxide_zi

to my config. weird. wondering if it'll work in my work box...

I've been doing this for the past while:

eval "${$(zoxide init zsh):s#_files -/#_cd#}"
alias cd=z
