Shell completion

[srid]

https://docs.rs/clap_complete/latest/clap_complete/ might come in handy here to provide shell completion support.

For example, https://just.systems/ completes like this:

Just as just can complete the targets from justfile, I imagine that bacon complete the jobs from bacon.toml.

Generating completions is fairly simple using clap-complete

The biggest problem though is working out how to install completions when installing bacon via cargo. As far as I've found so far, this is difficult / manual as cargo doesn't want to be be a package manager.

• Cargo install shell completions clap-rs/clap#4868
• Support installing manpages (and potentially other files) rust-lang/cargo#2729

And a possible way forward on this might be to implement this on cargo-binstall.
