Complete all components of a path

[op06072]

What do you want?

Hi I want directory autocomplete like this (/ho/op -> /home/op06072).

Why do you want this?

I use this feature very often in terminal. Cause I can complete directory input with just one 'tap' click.

Who else would benefit from this?

Everyone inputting directory

How should it work?

Given the following situation:

• Everytime when I know full directory and input the directory

When I perform the following steps:

1. Input the incomplete directory (/ho/op)
2. Input 'tab' key
3. The directory is completed (/home/op06072)

Then I expect the following to happen:

• pressing down 'tab' after input directory make directory completed

Thanks for making awsome zsh plugin

I'm pretty sure this is already implemented, I just tested it myself.

When I hit <TAB>, it auto completed emporia for me.

If there are multiple choices, it lists them for me and allows me to use the arrow keys to select which completion I want (or I can keep typing and hit <TAB> again to get a completion). Below is an example of it giving me a zsh menu I can navigate with arrow keys to select which dir. cd /home/baudneo/<TAB>

I mean not just autocomplete last part.

Autocomplete disables this by default, because it used to be that, if you tried to complete a non-existing path this way, it could make completion hang for a very long time. However, I just tested it with the latest version of Autocomplete and this no longer appears to be the case. I will add it back: #677
