ZSH Remove autocompletion options

Hello, is there a way to remove programs from ZSH's list of autocompletion options? Specifically, when I type "chr" and hit tab, I want ZSH to correct this to "chrome" (my alias for chromium) and not show me chromium, chroot, or chromedriver. I can type these commands out in full if necessary.

compdef -d

Not a Sysadmin issue, moving to NC...

Re: ZSH Remove autocompletion options

In your ~/.zshrc put

alias crm="chrome"

Save & exit.
In terminal type

source ~/.zshrc

Then type ' crm ' in terminal, chrome will open and you will not lose the zsh autocompletion functionality.
Familiarise yourself with shell aliases, they can be extremely handy.
