Hi,
when I complete the ~[dirs] the completion leaves a colon at end and leaves
the bracket open, like  $ cd ~[z;share:, Problem is when I run the command
it returns error:
cd ~[z:doc
zsh: bad pattern: ~[z:doc:

How to make the bracket automatically closed at command run?

The _dynamic_directory_name completion function already tries to do
this, but it's overridden by zsh_directory_name_generic.  The latter
needs to define a compadd -R remove_func that swaps the colon for a
bracket, and use that instead of the -r option at around line 150.

Thanks, I've implemented like you described, it works.

Could you share a patch?  No reason this couldn't be in the distributed version.
