The nicely aligned process list is the default way processes are completed using the new style completion. If you are using the new style at home it is probably because you are using a Linux distribution where they have enabled it by default. It is enabled with the following two lines: autoload -U compinit compinit which you will probably find at home are either in your .zshrc or somewhere like /etc/zshrc. What I would recommend you do is enable new-style completion at work. The easiest way to do this is with: autoload -U compinstall compinstall This will add the compinit lines and let you do some basic configuration. You may also need to remove your compctl commands. You'll find that the new-style completion is much better in many areas and it is set up to complete many commands already which will save you the trouble of writing compctls. If you don't want the new completion, it should be possible to do the aligned process completion with compctl. Oliver
