How do I get zsh tab completion to cat **/foo<TAB> to match and complete the first file matching foo* in any subdirectory under the current directory?
For example, do this while inside a fresh test directory: (again, this is zsh)
% mkdir aaa bbb ccc
% touch aaa/foo bbb/foo ccc/foo
% cat **/f<TAB>
What I want when I hit <TAB> on that last line is for my screen to end up looking like this:
% cat aaa/foo_ # filled in the first match; "_" is the cursor
aaa/foo bbb/foo ccc/foo # and here is the list of all matches
I tried setopt GLOB_COMPLETE, but that didn’t do what I wanted.
