I'm having some trouble with the zstyle matcher.
I'm trying to make it auto complete things that match my home directory when my pwd isn't ~.
I'm also having some problems getting it to autocomplete module names when I'm a standard user, it works when I'm root though (we use the same zshrc.)
Finally, it won't expand globs when dealing with certain types of matches (notably package names). Generally when I type in *blah* it'll just put everything that matches on my command line, but when I'm dealing with packages it simply displays the list.
My .zshrc:
# Lines configured by zsh-newuser-install
fg_cyan=$'%{\e[0;36m%}'
fg_light_gray=$'%{\e[0;37m%}'
fg_red=$'%{\e[1;31m%}'
fg_purple=$'%{\e[1;35m%}'
PROMPT="${fg_red}%(?..(%?%))${fg_purple}%n${fg_red}@${fg_purple}%m${fg_red}%#${fg_light_gray} "
RPROMPT="${fg_cyan}%~${fg_light_gray}"
alias ls='ls --color=tty'

A good auto screenshot! Wowzers.I can't exactly say why, but it has to do with the properties of the exponential function. It's just... wrong. :P Perhaps someone can explain better why this is an illegal operation?
