@Piotr Budny: Heh, it ate mine as well.

The problem is that I want to have a full name for the bookmark – for example, I have lancelot, liblancelot, liblancelot-dataengines.

I used to shorten them before to lnc, llnc… but it became tiresome to remember all the shortcuts. This way, the autocompletion liblancelot does the work.

eghr, it ate tags; should be mp3-tab-tab-enter, or simple mp3-enter. You can join my comments into one.

@Piotr Budny: It doesn’t for me – if I do a
$ mp3=/asadsda/sdasda/sdasd

and do
$ cd mp[TAB]
nothing happens. It only completes if I start with the tilde character

$ cd ~mp[TAB]
completes to
$ cd ~mp3
and CDs to /asadsda/sdasda/sdasd

@Piotr Budny: Cool, but is there a way to set the completion for that approach?

Nice one, I’m using something similar, e.g.:
mp3=/media/storage/mp3 in my .zshrc.

Simple `cd mp3` does the job.

Hope to see more!

More ZSH wisdom.

I use a pretty nearly unconfigured zsh, I’m sure I could learn a lot if you posted your whole config.
