I have a custom function and zsh gives me default tab completion for it.

Given two commands:
command1 - which has completions already set up for it
commmand2- which is a wrapper function, that in the end calls command1 ARG
How do I make command2 complete in the same manner as command1 ARG1 would without writing a…
When using the up and down arrow in my terminal (iTerm 2 on Mac OS Catalina), I can browse through my last commands using the up and down arrows.
I use ZSH (Oh-my-zsh to be precise) and if I type e.g. vim then press up, it will browse my history for…
So I'm not exactly sure whether this is something wrong with optparse-applicative's script or if I'm using it wrong.
In the optparse-applicative readme, it states that programs are made available with automatic completion scripts, with options for…
I am writing my own completions for a program.

I have a ZSH completion script called
#compdef kubens

This provides completion to the kubens command. However if user provides a certain…
I'm trying to write an autocomplete function for a custom executable that takes file arguments from a particular folder.
$ ./my_executable

I would like to be able to type a filename in zsh, hit tab, and see a list of files that match that name in any subdirectories of my current directory. Then I could tab through those results and hit enter to select a certain file, just like the…
When I use Zsh file completion on my downloads directory, it would be useful if it would show the files sorted by modification time.
This command will do so for all file completions:
zstyle ':completion:*' file-sort modification
How would I apply…
Context

Example: ~http is expanded to /srv/http which is (roughly) the home for user http set in /etc/passwd.
What I want to do
I would like to configure ZSH in order to get any…
