Hi,
just stumbled across this:
Doing
/home/user/>..
let me jump a directory in direction to the root.
But doing
/home/user/>.
gives me:
.: not enough arguments
zsh: exit 1
>From the logical point of view I had expected to be beamed 'here'
instead of 'beamed up'...but...
Scotty got problems...or? ;)
Best regards,
mcc

You apparently have the AUTO_CD option enabled. The description of that
in the zshoptions(1) man page is:
If a command is issued that can't be executed as a normal command,
and the command is the name of a directory, perform the cd command to
that directory.
There usually isn't a '..' command, but there's always a directory with
that name, so that rule kicks in.

But '.' is a builtin command name, so that command is run. Since that's
the first thing to be tried it doesn't matter that '.' is also a
directory name.
