I have been using ZSH to do host name completion, and want to change the default behaviour. When I have multiple hosts with similar names, the completion does stuff that I don't care for. An example is best:
Let's say I have these hosts:
host01.stage.example.com
host02.stage.example.com
host01.prod.example.com
host02.prod.example.com
now, in my prompt, I will type:
$ ssh hos<tab>
zsh will show me:
$ ssh host..example.com
with the cursor right after "host" and shows me a menu with the host names in it. I like the menu showing me hostnames, I just don't want it to complete everything. Weird things happen. Most of the time I tab through and either have to delete host names or have extra stuff on the line i have to delete.
A preferred way would be to not complete the rest of the hostname. something like:
$ ssh hos<tab>
zsh would hopefully show me:
$ ssh host
host01.stage.example.com host01.prod.example.com
host02.stage.example.com host02.prod.example.com
Any thoughts?

did you change anything in your .zshrc file ? Because when I do
it gives me correct suggestions... the cursor goes at the right place:
(the second line is the suggestions get)
