Hello,

I find myself having to run "rehash" to get zsh to recognize the
presence of a new executable in the PATH. bash doesn't seem to have that
requirement. Is there an option to get that behavior in zsh?

Also, how could I have zsh not list "CVS" directories when completing
paths? I tried fignore but it doesn't work.

Oh, and a last one ;) Is it possible to "fignore" a file except when
it's the only completion candidate (considering the typed string e.g.)?

Thanks in advance,

The fact that it doesn't work out of the box might mean that he's
using the new completion system. In that case he needs to use the
_ignored completer, as in:

  zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete _ignored


And if he's using the new completion system, this:

can be solved, too. One only needs to not set $fignore, but instead
use the ignored-patterns style, like so:

  zstyle ':completion:*:complete:*:(all-|)files' \
      '?*~' '?*.(o|log|aux|...)' '(|*/)CVS'
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                    whatever suffixes one wants to have ignored

And finally: the _ignored completer can also be customized, see the
manual/info or Peter's guide (from www.zsh.org).

Bye
 Sven

(Err, deja vu.  Didn't I answer a similar question last week?)

Anyway... you didn't include the _ignored completer in your list.
With that it will work.

If you don't set the completer style, the default will be used and
that is (_complete _ignored).

For me it works with both bindings. Old version?
