Directory when opening a new shell

[o6uoq]

Is there a flag/option to configure showing the current directory listing vs not at all but still maintaining auto-complete based on input? E.g. I open a new tab, prompt is as default without the 'Directory' listing below, but if I type out a directory file or folder, it will provide the autocomplete.

Add this to your .zshrc file:

zstyle ':autocomplete:*' min-input 1

(Old answer)

If

• you do not have . in your path

and

• you have unset the AUTO_CD shell option,

then local dirs & executables will not be shown at an empty prompt.

Failing that, you can override the _autocomplete.config.tag-order function.

@o6uoq There is a simpler solution than I originally suggested. Check my updated answer, above.

That worked, thank you! Is there documentation for auto-complete settings in terms of what is displayed when we type? E.g. if I type g I see auto-complete for aliases, shell functions, builtin commands, et al. but namely parameters, which displays things I do not want in my shell like GITHUB_TOKEN. Is this configurable?

I'd like auto-complete for some things, but not all things.

I'm working on making this better as part of #346.

Yes, it is configurable, but it's not documented at present. If you want to fiddle with it, try overriding the _autocomplete.config.tag-order function. However, once I'm done with #346, that might not be necessary anymore.
