Hello gurus of ZSH,
In my home directory, there are currently only hidden files/directories and
the completion mechanism does not see them :-(
Few examples...
user@hostname [12:07:01]:~ % ls
No matches for: `files'
But if I manualy insert a dot :
user@hostname [12:27:06]:~ % ls .
--==[ files ]==--
.Maildir/ .Xdefaults .cache/ .config/ .cshrc .cvsrc
.local/ .login .mailrc .nanorc .profile .ssh/
.zsh/
Same issue when I want to change of directory :
user@hostname [12:28:30]:~ % cd
No matches for: `local directory'
user@hostname [12:29:31]:~ % cd .
--==[ local directory ]==--
.Maildir/ .cache/ .config/ .local/ .ssh/ .zsh/
The completion does work fine with not hidden files/directories.
What is wrong with my file "~/.zsh/completion" ?
Note : my machine runs OpenBSD v5.9 with zsh v5.8 ; I do not know if it
matters.

Second issue (less important) : the section "Create a cache" in the above
file does not work.

The main way to control which files are included in file completion is
via the file-patterns style. So if you always want to see hidden files,
it would be something like:
zstyle ':completion:*' file-patterns '%p(D):globbed-files *(D-/):directories' '*(D):all-files'
(D) is a glob qualifier that includes hidden files and you might use it
from the command-line as, e.g. *.png(D)
I was going to suggest something like the following which adds the (D)
to the all-files fallback:
zstyle ':completion:*' file-patterns '%p:globbed-files *(-/):directories' '*(D):all-files'
Unfortunately, _files has some sort of shortcut where it does:
[[ "$pat" = '*' ]] && return ret
So it never tried all-files if globbed-files was using * as a glob. This
should perhaps be looked into and discussed on -workers.
What you can do, however is add a second run of the _complete completer
with the separate file-patterns style:
zstyle ':completion:*::::' completer _complete _complete:-hidden
zstyle ':completion:*:complete-hidden:*' file-patterns '%p(D):globbed-files' '*(D):all-files'
Note, however that you likely already have a completer style with other
functions like _expand listed and you should only add _complete:-hidden
to the list somewhere after _complete.

Only some completion functions need to create a cache. Note that those
lines do not create a cache, they only tell completion where to put cache
files. Is ${ZDOTDIR} definitely set to something. If not, it could be
trying /zsh_cache. The directory you specify should already exist and should be a writable directory.
