unable to use autocompletion with z
the auto completeion is invoked form the cd command not form the z database/directories
for example when i'm on the home directory z tab should show me directories from the zioxide database, but instead it is showing me the home directories .
I'm using zsh on fedora 35:
zsh 5.8.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
zoxide v0.8.0
fzf 0.29.0 (Fedora)
my zsh plugins :
fzf-tab
zsh-syntax-highlighting
zsh-history-substring-search.plugin
sudo
dirhistory
fzf-marks.plugin
cheat
colored-man-pages.plugin
qoutes
fancy-ctrl-z
To clarify -- are you loading zoxide at the end of your .zshrc file? And are you calling compinit before that?
The following two lines should be at the end of your .zshrc:
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
eval "$(zoxide init zsh)"

i tried what you said with no luck :(
I notice the same symptoms (Zoxide’s tab completion in Zsh is no longer working) after upgrading Zoxide from 0.7.9 to 0.8.1.
I couldn't make it work, so i switched to z.lua , hope this problem will be fixed soon
I am seeing the same problem: z <Tab> behaves like cd <Tab>, counterintuitively, rather than outputting the list of zoxide matches (namely the most navigated directories, more or less).
That's because z also functions as a cd command. @SamDc73 I'm just reading your issue again and it appears to be the same thing, so I'm just clarifying this here:
z <tab>should showcdcompletions.z foo<tab>should also showcdcompletions.z foo<space><tab>should show zoxide's completions.
The reason the completion system works this way is so that you can use z to enter local directories as well as directories anywhere on your filesystem. The README contains a GIF of this.
Thank you for clarifying: you are right, it makes sense. So the actual zoxide completion is triggered with z foo<space><tab>:)!
Closing since @SamDc73 seems to have had the same problem. Do let me know if this is not the case.
