I just switched to zsh (from tcsh) and have only run into one serious frustration: There are multiple completions for push — pushd and pushln. I’d really like to only have pushd available, since this is really tripping up my muscle memory.

How can I set this up using zsh completion (specifically compsys)?

I don't know how to control the completion so precisely, but there is a builtin function called disable, which disables a command itself.

If you add disable pushln to your .zshrc, the pushln builtin will be disabled and no longer be displayed as a candidate.

Thanks - that's sufficient for what I was hoping to do! – Chris Hanson Apr 5 '11 at 22:27

Does this solve your issue?

alias push='pushd'

No, because that just means there'll be three completions for push rather than two. I want to start typing push (e.g. type either pus or push) and have the only completion be pushd. – Chris Hanson Apr 4 '11 at 23:48
