No, you mentioned `...:*:*:*:...'.

Anyway, works for me now, maybe it's related to the style-sorting
problem just fixed.

But I did try the ':completion:::::default'  and it did not work either (and
still does not work). Hence the question. I think, I mentioned it in my
first mail.

Of course not. The `:completion:*:default' you gave is less specific
than the thing currently used as default.

These are just normal shell-patterns. So `::' matches only `::' and
`:*:' matches `:anything:' and a `*' of course matches any number of
parts (I'm not too happy about that last one).

I think I prefer Peter's suggestion to get rid of the default styles
in compinit and just make them the defaults used by the completion
functions that use these styles.

So, you mean to say, that

zstyle ':completion:*::::default' ...

is more specific, than

zstyle ':completion:::::default' list-colors ''

???


And the following is not described in current manual:

- what empty part means. Is "::" the same as ":*:" from the matching point
of view?
- does '*' match muliple parts or just anything in current part?

And why not to use multiple style sets (like multiple resources in X11)?
compinit or functions could define there own "default" styles and users
would define "user" style. If style is not found in user database, it is
looked up in default database. this would completely eliminate above
confusion. If user sets "catch-all" style - it is always used; else we
finally fallback to default style.
