I'm trying to figure out how to customize zsh completion so that it never completes beyond an ambiguous result by just hitting tab. Here's an example.

$ emacs f<TAB>
  food fool
(completes into)
$ emacs foo
  food fool

Importantly, if I press TAB after 'emacs foo' I would like zsh to beep instead of complete into the menu.

Thanks.

Descending into the completion menu is controlled via the AUTO_MENU option. This is a default option which can be turned off by setting in your .zshrc the 'no' prefixed option.

setopt noautomenu
