Hi @Thearas,

Only -fast* appears and nothing else like: time .TAB or time _TAB ? 💫

time .<TAB>:

time _<TAB>, but I think this is normal, some zsh functions like _precommand:

The same applies to F-Sy-H functions, the prefixes different than _ are chosen to describe/filter functions using #standard-function-name-space-prefixes.

However, it might be improved or contain accidentally exposed functions, both cases require investigation.

Is the - prefix causing any unwanted behavior?

Note: it is also possible to adjust the completion system, the suggested command (time) completion allows to time functions, which is why it appears in the completion.

I ended up adding this to my zshrc and it seems to have fixed the issue for me:

zstyle ':completion:*:functions' ignored-patterns '(_*|-*)'

(I already had the _* actually - it's the -* that helps here)
