zsh-completions VS bash-completion

$ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-completions

Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

BUT...

After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

- Will enable completion by compinit is enough? I found some github repo (zsh-completions, zsh-autocomplete, zsh-autosuggestions), does that useful?

zsh-completions

Zsh Completions is a pretty good alternative for anyone using zsh.

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-completions git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

Is anything important missing from the native Zsh completion for nvm that comes with zsh-users/zsh-completions? If you haven't tried that, it may be better for the job anyway.

Install plug-ins for oh-my-zsh. Although there are many good plug-ins, this post will install the three popular ones – zsh-completions, zsh-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions. If you want more plug-ins, follow the steps below.

Look into the bash-completion project. I'm not sure about "brief descriptions", though: It's possible with bash's programmable completion functionality, but I don't think bash-completion even tries to do that.

What exactly do you mean. bash by itself only has very limited autocompletion. With tools like this and some manual work you can make it better.

Even though there is a library of completion scripts like scop/bash-completion, it only includes common commands. For some commands that are not commonly used, we have to write completion scripts by hand.

BTW, it's not needed to assign $cur for the word containing the current cursor position, or prev=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}; it's already in bash-completion lib, and can be reused with _comp_initialize (renamed from _init_completion):

bash-completion - is a collection of command line command completions for the Bash shell, collection of helper functions to assist in creating new completions, and set of facilities for loading completions automatically on demand, as well as installing them.

Tab completion doesn't come from the "cryptsetup" program itself, it comes from a third-party project (https://github.com/scop/bash-completion)

Neither the terminal emulator (konsole in your case) nor Linux are the relevant piece of software. What matters is the shell and whether there are completion scripts for those commands. On my system (Debian with bash) completion works for both sudo and flatpak. The completions for sudo are provided by https://github.com/scop/bash-completion, the ones for flatpak are part of the flatpak package.

Also take a look into https://github.com/scop/bash-completion which might be available as a package on your distro, named most likely bash-completion.
