I've now fooled around a bit, too, and first couldn't get it to fail, because I don't have cdpath set. So my comment is that I don't understand the code in _cd at all. Why do we test for cdablevars only if `$#cdpath -ne 0'? It works without. And then the test for when cdablevars should be used: it's obviously wrong (that's the real reason for the bug). We should complete parameter names[1] if there is no slash in the word or if we are before the first slash. Otherwise we could check if there is no directory matching the string before the first slash but a parameter with that name -- and only in that case should we trick _path_files into completing a word with the parameter name replaced by the value of the parameter. Otherwise completing `soft/f<TAB>' might surprise users who would expect it to complete to `software/foo'. Bye Sven [1] Or user names.

Yes, my fault, I'm sure. Now for the problem: just sticking a tilde in front of $PREFIX won't work in a case like the one we're discussing (a named directory `soft' and a directory `software'). Try it with `cd soft/<TAB>'. The `soft' vanishes. That's because the call on line 46/47 adds matches like `~soft/foo' and the calls on lines 59/60 add matches like `software/foo'. Of course it can't be able to merge these into a sensible unambiguous string to insert in the line. We can almost get to where we want to get by changing it to what you can see in the patch below. It first stuffs the parameter into $IPREFIX and then calls _path_files with a -W containing the expanded directory. For that to work, we also need the patch to compmatch.c, which I'm going to commit. But this isn't a really good solution, because with that and directories `~soft/foo' and `software/foo' completion after `cd soft/f<TAB>' lists the `foo's, not the ambiguous prefix, because _path_files can't know that the ambiguity is in the prefix (which it was told to ignore in one case anyway). Because of that I'm not going to commit that part of the patch (nor the _tilde part, for completeness' sake). But it's probably the best result we're ever going to be able to get there. At least I don't see how to resolve this without some serious changes to the completion system.

May main problem is probably that I fail to see the `larger problem behind this' so that I could try to tackle that. Modifying _path_files just to improve this one case doesn't look like the right thing.
