Subject: compinit causes strange tab completion on '<'
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 03:24:16 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43F04230.8050708@llsd.net> (raw)

in case it matters. zsh 4.2.5
kernel 2.6.15
I have discovered some odd behavior with tab completion when compinit is 
loaded even with default completion set.

I like to use the'<' builtin  instead of cat

a user with no .zshrc file

%pwd
/etc
% < init.d/[tab]
gives correct file listing of /etc/init.d/
%< ./init.d/[tab]
gives correct file listing of /etc/init.d/
%< /etc/init.d/[tab]
gives correct file listing of /etc/init.d/
%cat /etc/int.d/[tab]
gives correct file listing of /etc/init.d/


%autoload -U compinit;compinit

%pwd
/etc
% < init.d/[tab]
gives correct file listing of /etc/init.d/
%< ./init.d/[tab]
gives no completion
%< /etc/init.d/[tab]
gives no completion
%cat /etc/int.d/[tab]
gives correct file listing of /etc/init.d/
%cat ./init.d/[tab]
gives correct file listing of /etc/init.d/

so basically what is going wrong is that if the path I am trying to 
expand with tab starts with a / , ./ or  ../  then  no 
expansion/completion occurs.

what can I do do make completion work correctly with "<" ?
