Please see this line in the git.plugin.zsh file:
compdef _git gdv=git-diff
In the zsh user compdef tutorial, the compdef for referencing an existing command is explained like this:
compdef cmd1=cmd2
The obvious question: why is _git needed?
I'm trying to figure out how to get file completion to work at any word position on the command line after a set of characters. As listed in a shell these characters would be [ =+-\'\"()] (the whitespace is tab and space). Zsh will do this, but…
I have a shell pattern that marks some files as "boring" namely backup files, pyo files, vim backups, autogenerated directories and the like. Let's call it $BORING_STUFF.

I am a quite a happy zsh user and especially appreciate its completion subsystem.
Recently I am trying to enhance some completion commands especially those I use often (ex. rm).
In zsh the following command:

I use afuse to automount other hosts to my local file system with sshfs. Like so:
afuse -o timeout=30 -o mount_template=sshfs -C %r:/ %m -o unmount_template=fusermount -u -z %m ~/remote/
This works great, but I would like to be able to…
I am using zsh with completion turned on. When I try to tab-complete, sometimes the command hangs for a long time. After a few seconds it completes and correctly presents my options. On the other hand, if I interrupt it with Ctrl-C, I get the…

Can anyone tell me how to move back a word in ZSH? Ctrl+b will move back a character but not an entire word.
For instance a log command like this:

With _arguments I can do _arguments {-h,--help}'[Show help]', but how to specify 'Show help' message in compadd parameters? Cannot find that in documentation
I want to create a zsh completion for a tool with a virtual file tree.
e.g. my file tree looks like the following:
/
|- foo/
| |- bar

My tool mycmd has a subcommand for listing the current directory:

I'm running zsh on a Raspberry Pi 2 (Raspbian Jessie). zsh compinit is complaining about the /tmp directory being insecure. So, I checked the permissions on the directory:
$ compaudit
There are insecure directories:
/tmp
$ ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 13…
The problem:
Sometimes, when I try to do things in zsh, it won't complete the filenames I want because they don't apply to the current context. Two examples:
I want to force-add a file which is currently ignored in hg or git. oh-my-zsh tries to…
I've recently begun to use zsh with oh-my-zsh in a Ubuntu 14.04 server. The problem is that autocompletions of the debian plugin do not work, i.e.
