With the following, tab completion works as expected: abc=(/whatever $abc) (I'm doing tab completion on the /whatever) In each of the following, however, tab completion does not work (that is, no completion occurs): export abc=/whatever:$abc (obviously I attempt tab completion before adding the :$abc) dd if=./whatever The latter is an example of using arg=/some/path which occurs for various commands, so dd is just an example and the question is not in any way specific to dd. I do have the options related to equals completion enabled. I also tried this on a new install of linux with no changes to any of the zsh startup files (no changes in /etc and the default .zshrc file in $HOME) with the same results. Eliminating $HOME/.zshrc also did not change the behavior. Is there a way to make completion work in these situations? Seth
