The [documentation][1] says

> zstyle ':completion:*:aliens:*' tag-order \
> 'frooble:-funny:funny\ frooble' frooble
>which is used when you're completing for the command aliens, which presumably has completions tagged as `frooble' ...

I understand that both context and tag can be viewed using <kbd>^Xh</kbd>. So, I tried the following command but suggestion did not show the tags.

% zstyle ':completion:*:aliens:*' tag-order 'frooble:-funny:funny\ frooble' frooble
% aliens <kbd>TAB</kbd>
Completing file
Desktop/ Documents/ dotfiles/ Downloads/
% aliens <kbd>^Xh</kbd>
tags in context :completion::complete:aliens::
globbed-files (_files _default)
% aliens frooble <kbd>^Xh</kbd>
tags in context :completion::complete:aliens::
globbed-files (_files _default)

I think I am doing something wrong with

> completions tagged as `frooble'

Please help me understand how to use tags in zsh completion system.
