| Second Solution: | ||
| zsh-completions as a plugin, they suggest manually adding its source directory to fpath before sourcing oh-my-zsh.sh. | ||
| This ensures Zsh loads the completion files only once, improving performance. | ||
| Recommended Fix: | ||
| Instead of the existing method, they propose adding this line: | ||
|
|
||
| fpath=($ZSH/custom/plugins/zsh-completions/src $fpath) | ||

This information is already there. The advice for Oh-my-Zsh! was updated years ago in response to #603.
What you're proposing is exactly the same as:
Add it to
FPATHin your.zshrcby adding the following line beforesource "$ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh":fpath+=${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-completions/src
...Which is exactly what the instructions already say.
