Zsh Autocomplete – Configure Completion to Show Hidden Files and Folders

autocompletezsh

Currently when I invoke completion the behaviour is like this:

% cd ~/<TAB>
Completing directory
Desktop/    Downloads/  Pictures/   system/     Videos/
Documents/  Music/      Public/     Templates/  www/

How can I configure the completion to list the hidden files also?

You could add globdots to $_comp_options in your .zshrc e.g.

.....
compinit
_comp_options+=(globdots)
.....

How to combine zsh autocomplete for wrapper function arguments and existing command

I found /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix/_git which had some tips for aliases like this and ended up defining these functions for the aliases:

_git-ls () {
  # Just return the _git-ls-files autocomplete function
  _git-ls-files
}

Then, do a straight compdef g=git. The autocomplete system will see that you are running, for example, g ls and use the _git-ls autocomplete function.
