completion for file args doesn't happen if I use `antigen apply` about antigen HOT 6 CLOSED

Ah... looks like the apply lets things like git completions work, but breaks local file completions. At least for commands I don't have plugins for (e.g., dpkg).

Is there a way to get it to default to local file paths?

That's odd. Things like the ls and file commands do have local file paths completion at my end. Could you test to find if its a particular plugin that's causing this? Also, is this issue present when you were not using antigen?

ls works. It's stuff that's a little outside normal (like dpkg that I mentioned, I'm on an OS X host using dpkg to examine build results). Here's what happens if I have a blank zshrc and start adding antigen components manually:

localhost% dpkg workspace/                        # tab completed
localhost% source "$HOME/.antigen/antigen/antigen.zsh"
localhost% dpkg workspace/                        # tab completed
localhost% antigen apply
localhost% dpkg wo                        # won't tab complete

Btw, I think I found what's causing this. I don't think it's antigen but rather what zsh does once antigen makes everything context aware. This post has details on how to set up an alternate key press for file based completion regardless of command context.

I want to reopen this because I'm seeing the same thing, but it's affecting ls and cd commands for me. I'm running antigen on zsh 5.0.6 on cygwin.

localhost% ls dotfiles                                       #Tab complete works
localhost% source antigen/antigen.zsh
localhost% ls dotfiles                                      #Tab complete still works
localhost% antigen apply
localhost% ls dot                                            #Tab complete doesn't work anymore

This is without any plugins loaded at all, just running apply breaks tab completion.

Nevermind, this was a cygwin issue, solved by doing this:
