Sending it anyway because it adds a little bit to PWS's response.] On Jan 28, 12:52pm, Silvio Ricardo Cordeiro wrote: } Subject: Zstyle command completion does not work for some executables The "command" style is implemented by the _call_program helper function. Consequently it only works for completions that use _call_program. Doc says: In many places, completion functions need to call external commands to generate the list of completions. This style can be used to override the command that is called in some such cases. In your examples e.g. } > zstyle ':completion:*:*bash*:*' command 'echo testing' The writer of the _sh completion did not feel any external command was needed in order to generate the list of completions, so no use of _call_program was made and the command style does not apply. For an arbitrary command in your path, there probably isn't a specific completion function at all, so there can't be a _call_program. [Rest trimmed as it duplicated what PWS already said.]
