How to omit file extension from zsh autocomplete?
I'm new to zsh in Catalina. In .zshrc, I currently have
setopt CORRECT
setopt CORRECT_ALL
When I run a java program from the command line, I want only:
% java ProgramName
If I type java Pro
autocomplete adds the rest of the name but also appends .class
. (Or, if I have the source file in the same directory, it appends the .
after the name) and I then have to delete .class
(or hit the backspace once) before I can run the program.
Is there a way to get zsh autocomplete to omit .class
(and .
) but only when the initial command is java
?
I'd prefer not to install something like Oh My Zsh which might alter my other zsh settings.
It appears you are still using Zsh's legacy completion system. You can upgrade to "new" completion system (released back in 🛸the year 2000🛸) by adding this to your .zshrc
file:
autoload -Uz compinit
compinit
Then you'll see that Zsh's java
completion will no longer add .class
.
