Case independent tab completion in zsh shell
I'm using a zsh shell with
```
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list 'm:{a-z}={A-Za-z}'
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
```
to allow tab completion regardless of capitalisation, e.g. `cd desk` will be completed to `cd Desktop`
However using `autoload -Uz compinit && compinit` has a strange side effect. Let's assume I have a folder with the two files
```
test.dtx
test.tex
```
If I start to write `latex te` and press tab, it will automatically complete to `latex test.tex` instead of showing me both files. For other commands, e.g. `ls te` the tab completion will suggest both files.
Is there any way to make the tab completion independent of capitalisation while still getting suggested all files?
