How do I prevent ZSH cycling through matching completions but instead just presenting a list of remaining possibilities in a list?
On my more recent OS installations I've started getting ZSH cycling behavior when pressing tab. I do not like it and prefer it just show me a list of matches. My older OS installations have this, so I'm guessing some default setting in a newer version of Zsh is the cause. I've tried searching on Google, and diffing my environment variables (env
output - I can include this them if it helps but it will be very long) but I just can't figure out the right setting(s).
Here is my environment information:
Works as desired on the following systems (lists matches each time I press tab)
