Hi
Today I meant to type
ls mainf<tab> to complete mainfile.php
and instead mistyped
ls ainf<tab> and to my surprise it completed correctly to mainfile.php
I've always expected to do say
ls *ainf<tab>
So is forward completion standard with compinit or do you need flags set etc?

I guess you're using the _approximate (or maybe _correct) completer with
some sort of `max-errors' style set.

I have
autoload -U compinit
compinit
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' \
'r:|[._-]=* r:|=*' 'l:|=* r:|=*'
zle -C expand-args-of complete-word _generic
zstyle ':completion:expand-args-of::::' completer expand-args-of

I think that matcher list might be putting "*"s in interesting places.
