I added loads of entries to my /etc/hosts file to aid in adblocking and tracking on the internet (a list I got from github https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts).

However, zsh now incorporates all the entries in the hosts file when searching for autocompletes. This means I can be moving a simple file with a long name and I type mv w<TAB> and I get hundreds of autocomplete entries with the filename I want buried in there somewhere.

Is there a way to restrict the sources zsh uses for autocompletion?

Edit: here are what I think are the relevant parts of my zshrc:

zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete _ignored _approximate

zstyle ':completion:*' list-colors ''

zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list ''

zstyle ':completion:*' menu select=1

zstyle ':completion:*' select-prompt %SScrolling active: current selection at %p%s

By default, zsh populates its hosts completion list from the command getent hosts if it's available, or from certain files, including /ect/hosts.

If we want to skip this part, we need to provide our own completion logic. You can do so by adding the following to your ~/.zshrc:

zstyle -e ':completion:*:hosts' hosts 'reply=(

  ${=${${(f)"$(cat {/etc/ssh_,~/.ssh/known_}hosts(|2)(N) 2>/dev/null)"}%%[#| ]*}//,/ }

  ${=${${${${(@M)${(f)"$(cat ~/.ssh/config 2>/dev/null)"}:#Host *}#Host }:#***}:#*?*}}

)'

Inspiration: Voku's solution in their dotfiles, by leaving out the /ect/hosts part.
