Automatic cd: Zsh simplifies directory navigation by enabling users to change directories simply by typing the name of the desired directory. This feature eliminates the need to type the “cd” command explicitly, saving time and keystrokes.

What if there happens to be a command with the same name?

command goes first

order is shell built in > path > autocd

Then you're likely to enter a command by accident. I would consider that a dangerous misfeature and look to turn it off.

not really tab complete puts a / at the end of autocd directories

Can you not type in the name of the hazardous folder yourself? I'm envisioning trying to autocd into a folder named reboot or something.

Does autocd not work without a slash at the end?

[–] Still 2 points 1 year ago

it does but if you had a file called reboot tab complete would complete the reboot command and not put the slash thwre, adding the slash specifies that it's a directory

I've got syntax highlighting enabked, so I always notice the different color when I type a commnand.

Don't name your directories "rm" or "fdisk" problems solved

Until I forget about some command or another, and accidentally give a folder the same name.
