Subject: filename autocompletion/autocorrection misfeature
Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2016 08:48:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <57F896B2.9010506@gmx.ch> (raw)

Hello,

when I type beginning of a filename, and autocomplete with tab:

$ ls gs<tab>

if there is no match starting with "gs", I might get:

$ ls logs

Far from being useful, I find this feature actually harmful. I want to
know that there is no match in current dir (perhaps I entered the wrong
dir mistakenly).

To add insult to injury, the autocompleted/autocorrected filename does
not exist either (there is a file "bootlogs", but no file "logs")

How can I disable this "feature" ?
I tried adding following options into my .zshrc, but that did not help:

  DISABLE_CORRECTION="true"
  unsetopt correct
  unsetopt correct_all

thanks,
