That's certainly better but it has reminded me why I stopped using _expand: cd ~+ expands, even with keep-prefix. I use the autopushd option and really like being able to do cd ~+ expands ~abc. One thing which I like about the way expand-or-complete works is that for example, $HOME will expand but $HOME/ doesn't. In general, I prefer variables and tildes not to be expanded but in some cases I specifically want them expanded and if I press tab immediately after something, I've probably conciously thought to do the expansion. Tab is always much handier than ^X$ so this is something I like. Globs aren't mixed with completion as often so I generally do want globs expanded which is why I wanted subst-only-globs. Oliver
