Just a helpful bit of compctl for zsh users at sites with a large number
of user accounts.
At York we have 11000 users which means a LONG wait for zsh to hash all
of them if you accidentally hit TAB too early...
This compctl was written by a friend and is great:
trusted=(auser anotheruser myfriend)
compctl -C -c -x 'W[0,\~*/*]' -g '*(-*,-/)' - 's[~]' -k trusted -S '/'
compctl -g '*(D,-/)' -x 'C[0,\~*/*]' -g '*(D,-/)' - 's[~]' -k\
trusted -S '/' -- cd
[\ denotes line continuation at the end of the second compctl line]
The net result is that zsh will only complete the list of users in the
trusted array after a ~
[example: before]
% ~a
[Press Tab]
[Long Wait]
Do you wish to see all 1000 possibilities?
[example2: after]
% ~a
[Press Tab]
auser anotheruser
Much nicer :)
Hope some of you find it helpful; full credit goes to my friend Alan who
is also a student here at York.

I've noticed that this is a bit long here too. Can't zsh provide a
cache mechanism?
