Hi everyone,
zsh displays the home directories of users in a shortened form (in a suitable
prompt), but only after zsh "knows" about them, for instance after actually
using the directory name in the shortened form or after doing a completion
like this:
% cd ~<TAB>
What would be the best way to let zsh figure this out already when it starts?
Thanks,
Christian Taylor

Put:
: $userdirs
In your zshrc.
Be forewarned that this will enumerate all the passwd entries in your
system. If you're in a networked environment using nis/yp or ldap
with more than a few hundred users, this stanza could take a while to
run and use a lot of memory.
