I’m trying to replicate some useful features from my work PC at home.
At work, bash
will helpfully autocomplete tmux
"sub-commands": e.g. I type "tmux new-s<tab>
" and bash autocompletes that to "tmux new-session
" (I hope "sub-command" is the right term). This doesn’t happen on my home PC — what can I do to set this up on my home PC?
I’ve looked around online and found some references to auto-complete within tmux
, e.g. to auto-complete commands like move-window
— but that’s not what I’m looking for.
I also found reference to a feature called "bash complete" — but on my work PC, I don’t find any reference to tmux
in my ~/.bash_completion
file or my /etc/bash_completion.d/
directory.
Can someone please explain either where/how else my work PC might have set up its tmux
"sub-command" autocompletion (so that I can refer/learn from a working example), or how I can/should set this up?
Interesting side-note: both my work and home PCs autocomplete git
"sub-commands"; e.g. typing "git clo<tab>
" autocompletes to "git clone
". I didn’t do anything specific to set that up — for both git
and tmux
, all I did as far as setup was "sudo apt install git
" and "sudo apt install tmux
", respectively.
You can get your systems completion dir from pkg-config --variable=completionsdir bash-completion
(/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/)
This is where dynamic completions are set up:
$ complete -p git
-bash: complete: git: no completion specification
$ git st<TAB>
st stage stash status sti
$ complete -p git
complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -F __git_wrap__git_main git
