It does fix typos for me too, but most of the time asks weird things like, I typed 'aptitude' did I mean '.aptitude'? It loves misinterpreting some of my commands as dotfiles. Huh?

Then again I have a knack for unintentionally breaking computers, so maybe I've done something in env or rc that's messed it up...

Using the following got rid of a lot of my correction woes:

    alias sudo="nocorrect sudo"

That is why you were getting the .aptitude one, you can use it for other commands that it gets the corrections wrong often.

I've since moved to vanilla bash+bash completion since it is everywhere and zsh completion seemed to annoy me more than help me.

Awesome, thank you!
