Treat one command like another for completion purposes
My zshrc includes the following function to create a directory and then enter it:
function mcd () {
mkdir -p "$*" && cd "$*"
}
The function itself works fine but I get odd behavior with completion. If I start typing e.g. mcd ~/ and then press Tab, the message
_mtools_drives:3: command not found: mtoolstest
is inserted at the insertion point and nothing is completed. What I want is for the command to be completed just as mkdir would be: zsh should offer me the names of existing directories.
How do I tell zsh that for completion purposes, it should treat mcd the same as mkdir?
