Settings

Ignore /etc/hosts Entries

To ignore certain entries from static /etc/hosts for host completion, add the following lines in ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zpreztorc with the IP addresses of the hosts as they appear in /etc/hosts. Both IP address and the associated hostname(s) will be ignored during host completion. However, some of the entries ignored from /etc/hosts still might appear during completion because of their presence in ssh configuration or history).
