Package: zsh

Severity: wishlist

If files with the same name exist in more than one place under PATH,
then =filename<Tab> should list them all.

Currently:

% echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
% whereis cuetag
cuetag: /usr/bin/cuetag /usr/local/bin/cuetag
% file =cuetag‹Tab›
all expansions
[/usr/local/bin/cuetag]
original
=cuetag

After pressing Tab, both locations of the file could have been shown:

% file =cuetag‹Tab›
expansions
[/usr/local/bin/cuetag] /usr/bin/cuetag
all expansions
/usr/local/bin/cuetag /usr/bin/cuetag
original
=cuetag

While such a situation is rather a rare one, it’s likely to cause
confusion whenever it occurs, so it would be quite handy for zsh
to give more information in that case.

This is not the right place to file Ubuntu bugs. Use Launchpad
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/)

You are misunderstanding how = works. It is not a wildcard. It expands
to one and only one expression (which may be the original =program).
