*Really* turn off zsh autocorrect

Question

I read all the tips on turning off zsh autocorrect for command completion. However, they are not working fully. I tried DISABLE_CORRECTION="true", unsetopt correct, unsetopt correct-all, unsetopt correctall etc. pp. I don't want

rm .za<TAB>

to be corrected to

rm .adobe

, thank you very much :-)

Does anybody know how to turn it off for good?

Answer 1

Most likely the control function _approximate is set in the completer style for zsh completion. Look if there is a line starting with

zstyle ':completion:*' completer

in your zsh configuration. I may look something like this:

zstyle ':completion:*' completer _expand _complete _approximate

Just remove _approximate and zsh will stop second-guessing you.
