I have as zsh setup via .oh-my-zsh. The z plugin allows to jump to last recently used directories.

When you press z name<TAB> it autocompletes name fron the list of recently visited dir by matching name against the list.

https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/6d5b8484ce7198161d5f617c3db9fd7d3833d48c/plugins/z/z.sh#L250

Sometimes the result contain only a single entry, when i know there should be multiple. I have debugged the reply variable and it happens if all entries have the same prefix, e.g. /path/to/dir, containing dirs with name In this case there is only the prefix in the autocomplete menu instead of full list of matched dirs. Hitting <TAB> again after expansion, triggers a new call to z script complete function now with the full common prefix instead of my search query , e.g. /path/to/dir

When i press <Shift+Tab> which is bound to reverse-menu-complete zsh properly selects the last item and shows the full list.

Is there supposed to be a further keybinding to expand the common prefix for compctl after it grouped all entries with a common prefix?
