I'm using vared to read what is entered into a variable after using compctl -C to setup completions (and a setopt autolist). I could have used the new style completions but it is a fairly simple case and I use 3.0.8 where the script will run. The problem is that when I press tab to complete in the first character position, a tab is inserted and the completions are not listed. This is handy at the normal zsh prompt because listing all the commands can be time consuming but in my script, it is annoying. Is there an option or something to turn this off? I've looked through the manual but can't see one. As a feature, it is probably less useful with the new completion system because the same can be achieved with a style anyway. Thanks Oliver Kiddle
