This works for me:

% print -l **/*

or, if you need to use ls, at least the -d option to show directories
rather than their contents:

% ls -d -1 **/*


If you want to prefix the current working directory, try this:

% print -l $PWD/**/*
or
% ls -d -1 $PWD/**/*

zsh doesn't strip paths from filenames unless you use one of the "word
modifiers" like ":t" ("tail"):

% print -l $PWD/**/*(:t)
(this won't be meaningful with ls)


If you want to print only files, and omit the directory names that
contain them (as your example above does, by leaving off /dir and
/dir/subdir{1,2}), the modifier is (.) for normal files only:

% ls -d -1 **/*(.)
or
% print -l **/*
or
% ls -d -1 $PWD/**/*(.)
or
% print -l $PWD/**/*(.)

I think the latter two produce the output you are seeking, based on your
example.


Or have I misunderstood the question?
