The default completion of the curl and open commands tries to fill in URLs. For example, typing curl <TAB> gives

file:    ftp://    gopher://    http://    https://

alongside any files in the current directory.

I never want to autocomplete URLs, so these suggestions are just visual noise mixed in with the filenames etc. that I’m actually interested in. How can I prevent zsh from offering URL completion for a particular command? How can I prevent it from offering this for any command?

  • @ss_iwe I don’t believe that applies in my case… Zsh doesn’t think those things are directories; it knows they’re URLs. (And I don’t have CDABLE_VARS set anyway.) – bdesham Sep 19 at 15:20
