Here's an alternative to a case by case disabling of zsh completion, or
renaming commands.
1. To plain old fall back on filename completion:
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _expand _complete _files \
_correct _approximate
The important thing above is the "_files" entry. This means if
expansion or completion fails, it will try filename completion.
(If that fails too, it will try correction or approximation.)
2. Define a widgit that just completes files, and bind it to
something (e.g. <C-X>f, in the example below).
zle -C complete-file menu-expand-or-complete _generic
zstyle ':completion:complete-file:*' completer _files
bindkey -M viins '^Xf' complete-file
(Change -M viins to -M emacs if you don't use VI keys)
This allows you to complete files anywhere, on any command, at
any time, by pressing <C-X>f (i.e. Control X, followed by f).
