But I don't know how have the completion on my function. My function is : function start (){ $@ > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & } And I want can type : start fire<tab> To launch firefox. In bash I know the "complete" commande but I don't know the zsh metode. Can you help me, please ? _____________________ Michel BARRET ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

First you'll need to start the completion system; it's not clear if you've done that. If you haven't, put this in your ~/.zshrc: autoload -Uz compinit compinit Then the simplest answer to the immediate question is to add the following line: compdef _precommand start That makes "start" behave like other command words that take a complete command line following. By the way, you might want to put the $@ in double quotes: function start (){ "$@" > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & } The difference is that this won't remove any zero-length arguments to the command, e.g. a '' on the command line. That's not a typical problem with the sort of use you have, however. -- Peter Stephenson <pws@csr.com> Software Engineer Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited Churchill House, Cambridge Business Park, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WZ, UK Member of the CSR plc group of companies.
