This is an intentional trick to invoke multicomp only if a "flag character" has been inserted at the front of the completion, because otherwise multicomp could be slow/expensive to invoke on every default file completion. In 4.3.5-dev-0 (current CVS) it almost works, except it fails to remove the leading colon: schaefer[632] Src/zsh -f torch% FPATH=../zsh-4.3/Functions/Compctl autoload +X multicomp torch% compctl -D -f -x 's[:]' -U -K multicomp torch% echo :/u/b torch% echo :/usr/bin Something has changed about the -U option and its handling of prefixes, I guess ...? --
