One thing I don't see mentioned nearly enough is, if you're using extended globs, it's possible to tab-complete virtually all of it, which doubles as a handy reference. For example: setopt extglob cd *(<tab> ~~ massive spam of possible glob qualifiers ~~ and it works for variable expansion modifiers as well: print ${(<tab> ~~ completion candidates for parameter flags ~~ print ${<tab> ~~ complete any currently set variable in the current env~~ Another thing I like is the array types for things like $PATH that are historically colon-separated, typically lower-case versions of the var name for the interesting 'magic' ones. vared path vs vared PATH to see the difference. print -l $path # much easier to read
