Hi. I don't know if prefixing a command with a backslash to suppress alias expansion is a intentional feature or not. If it is though, tab completing a (complete or incomplete) command prefixed with a backslash ought not remove the backslash. Current behavior seems to be to complete something like "\mpla" to "mplayer" and not to "\mplayer" as I would expect. I would be happy to try to fix it myself if no one has time to do it. A pointer on where to start looking in that case would be good though as I'm not at all familiar with the code of Zsh. Mikael Auno
