zi tab on fish also suggests files

[Gorthog]

zi <tab>

z works correctly

z <tab>

zi doesn't have suggestions, because it's not meant to be used with local directories. What you're seeing is the default zsh tab completions.

[Gorthog]

so this is by design to have two different tools? What's the reason not to have one tool do both?

(btw I'm using fish)

[ajeetdsouza]

I don't think I understand your point. z already has tab completions, and you can use space+tab for fuzzy completions. zi is more useful on shells that don't support fuzzy completions.
