Completion is not working

If you are using the completion module, there can be a conflict if other scripts are running compinit too. Follow these steps to check:

1. Run the following code in your terminal:

   setopt EXTENDED_GLOB
   for ZDOTFILE in /etc/(zsh/)#(z|.z)(shenv|profile|shrc|login)(N) ${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.z(shenv|profile|shrc|login)(N); do
     if grep -Eq '^[^#]*\bcompinit\b' ${ZDOTFILE}; then
       print -u2 -P "%F{yellow}! You seem to be already calling %Bcompinit%b in %B${ZDOTFILE}%b.%f"
     fi
   done
   

2. If there's any output, you can either:

   • Remove the compinit call from each of the mentioned files:
     • If you can edit the mentioned file, remove or comment the lines similar to these:

       autoload -Uz compinit
       compinit
       

     • If the mentioned file is read-only, read it and look for specific instructions on how the compinit call should be disabled.
   • Or remove the completion module:
     1. Remove or comment the zmodule completion line from your ~/.zimrc file.
     2. Run zimfw build in your command prompt.

3. Restart your terminal.
