Have an autocomplete oddity on the new MBP. I have a shell script,
ttcDownload.sh, that isn’t getting picked up as a possible auto-complete
answer in the shell (default zsh).

I’ve correctly prepended /usr/local/bin to $PATH and that’s working. If
try to autocomplete other binaries in /usr/local/bin they work. If I actually
try to run the command “ttcDownload.sh” from anywhere, all works. Just
autocomplete won’t pick it up.

Any ideas? The only difference I can think of vs other /usr/local/bin things
is that it’s a script not a binary, but not sure why that would preclude it
from being picked up.

Cheers,
Ian

....and now it does. Started a new terminal - worked. Interesting, don’t
need to do that for binaries but shell scripts it seems you do.

I don't think there's a difference between binaries and shell scripts.
You have to type "hash -r" (or "rehash") to get an already-running shell
to get zsh to see new programs added to directories in your path.
