Hi,
I'm switching from bash to zsh (using version 5.8), and one thing that
bothers me is that zsh auto completes non-executable files in my $PATH.
For example:
$ echo $PATH
~/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
$ ls -l ~/bin/
-rwx------ 1 user staff 95 Jun 5 2019 asdf1
-rw------- 1 user staff 95 Jun 5 2019 asdf1~
-rwx------ 1 user staff 95 Jun 5 2019 asdf2
-rw------- 1 user staff 95 Jun 5 2019 asdf3
$ asd<TAB>
external command
asdf1
asdf1\~
asdf2
asdf3
...whereas in bash, it would only auto complete asdf1 and asdf2 because
those are the only 2 files in ~/bin/ that are executable:
$ asd<TAB>
asdf1
asdf2
How can I get zsh to only auto complete executable files in the $PATH?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
