Any idea how i could achieve that? Of course i don't want to let the already existing completion system for many programs to be overridden. Only if there is _no_ completion there should ZSH take the --help approach. Ps: this new completion system could be a big win if it had easy to understand dialog-like boxes which one could use to choose styles and tags and so on. :) At least for me it is much too difficult in the present state. I know that i can do almost anything with it but it still takes a lot of my time to understand it. :( -- Unix is not _beginners_ friedly, thats the problem. No reason for a joke here. ----- End forwarded message -----
