I've got an alias "sshadmin" for "ssh -l admin"
In order to have the normal ssh-completion for this alias
I thought it suffices to say:
compdef _ssh sshadmin
But I was wrong. :-(
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andy.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they're not.

Only in that usually it's unnecessary, unless you have turned on the
option "completealiases". If you haven't, the alias is expanded by
completion so the completion code sees "ssh -l admin" and everything
works.

Ah, great! Didn't know that feature yet.
Only that I _dont_ have completealiases turned on and it still doesn't work.
In a "zsh -f" session it does work so it must be something in my settings...
On the other hand, with an ls-alias (alias lh="\ls -lFBh") it works.
So why not with sshadmin? Any idea?
Thanks,
Andy.

You mean you've tried and completion after
ssh -l admin
works while completion after
alias sshadmin="ssh -l admin"
sshadmin
doesn't?

I presume you mean even after "compinit", otherwise you're using a
different form of completion.

Try using the debug binding "^X?" to generate an output file which
should show you if it's ever getting as far as ssh completion or is
trying completion for something else.

You are right :-)

^Xh gives me:
lama:~>ssh
tags in context :completion::complete:ssh::
argument-1 options (_arguments _ssh)
tags in context :completion::complete:ssh:argument-1:
hosts users (_alternative _ssh)
hosts (_hosts _combination _ssh_hosts _alternative _ssh)
hosts (_ssh_hosts _alternative _ssh _normal)
users (_users _combination _ssh_users _alternative _ssh)
lama:~>sshadmin
tags in context :completion::complete:::
all-files (_files _default)
tags in context :completion::complete:ssh::
argument-rest options (_arguments _ssh _ssh)
The files generated after ^X? differ pretty much, but both mention _ssh.
I put them here:

Thanks,
Andy.

If you're not confused, you're not trying hard enough.
