If you didn't know, you can use some (all?) bash completion scripts if
you do this
autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source nb.bashcomp

It looks like this one works more or less fine.

In the case of programs with gnu output you can just use
compdef _gnu_generic nb
but it doesn't handle the arguments for options like --blogdir, it's
good for stuff like rm and mv though.

Hi Mikael,

Thanks a lot for the pointer!
So far I had no idea that bash completions can be used by zsh.

But in this case it doesn't make much sense because the bash function is
_very_ rudimentary and - except for directory completion - worse than a
simple "compdef _gnu_generic nb".

So, I started writing my own and here it is:

Suggestions, comments and improvements are VERY welcome!

I need help to solve some problems (see the "TODO" section in the file)
but the basic and most used stuff works - including a list of categories
and blog entries.

So, maybe the zsh experts here could take a look at it please?

Thanks,
 Andy.
