I have the following in my ~/.zshrc:

    # Completion customizations, adding nice menus, descriptions, etc
    zstyle -e ':completion:*:approximate:*' max-errors 'reply=( $(( ($#PREFIX + $#SUFFIX) / 3 )) )'
    zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions' format "- %d -"
    zstyle ':completion:*:corrections' format "- %d - (errors %e})"
    zstyle ':completion:*:default' list-prompt '%S%M matches%s'
    zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''
    zstyle ':completion:*:manuals' separate-sections true
    zstyle ':completion:*' menu select
    zstyle ':completion:*' verbose yes

I believe I borrowed most of that from the GRML zshrc, which is a
nice read, too.
