just stumbled across this: Doing /home/user/>.. let me jump a directory in direction to the root.
You apparently have the AUTO_CD option enabled. The description of that in the zshoptions(1) man page is:
If a command is issued that can't be executed as a normal command, and the command is the name of a directory, perform the cd command to that directory.
There usually isn't a '..' command, but there's always a directory with that name, so that rule kicks in.
But doing /home/user/>. gives me: .: not enough arguments zsh: exit 1
But '.' is a builtin command name, so that command is run. Since that's the first thing to be tried it doesn't matter that '.' is also a directory name.
