ZSH glob expansion without menu

Question

I'm trying to configure zshell in such a way that:

$ ls *<TAB>
# results in
ls a b c d e f g <cursor>

where "a, b, .., g" are the files that match the wildcard. Instead it gives me the default completion menu.

I do however want the completion menu if there is no glob to expand. So

$ ls * | <tab>

would give me the command completion menu.

I've seen this working. But I do not really no how to configure globbing in zshell. Anyone?

Answer 1

As recommended by Dennis, I looked up the recommended default, which can be found here: offical default zshrc

I used their completion settings, and adapted them from there, so I can't tell for sure what did the trick. But I'm presuming this line was key:

# insert all expansions for expand completer
zstyle ':completion:*:expand:*' tag-order all-expansions
