This is because /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/_qpdf just contains: #compdef qpdf eval $(/usr/bin/qpdf --completion-zsh) which sets up the completion command, but does not actually complete. I've posted to the zsh-workers list: https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2025/msg00530.html Bart Schaefer suggested to call _bash_complete. The following solves the above issue. #compdef qpdf eval $(/usr/bin/qpdf --completion-zsh) _bash_complete However, whether _bash_complete is present or not, the eval evaluates autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit && complete -o bashdefault -o default -C "/usr/bin/qpdf" qpdf so that compdump writes to the .zcompdump file: 'qpdf' '_bash_complete -o bashdefault -o default -C /usr/bin/qpdf' while _bash_complete is not available by default. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
