Selective use of complete_options for single hashes

[MarcusRoeckrath]

Hi,

I'm glad to find your tool for creating a completion file for my fritzboxtool (https://github.com/MarcusRoeckrath/fbtr64toolbox). It works fine.

With this experience I want to make more completion files for other tools mainly for the scripts of the german linux server distribution eisfair, which I'm part of the main team.

Our mainly packet managing programm uses options like

--option=value

With

completely_options:
complete_options: -o nospace

at top of the yaml file, tab completion will put the cursor directly behind the word but I want the the cursor to be placed after a space on normal options and directly behind the "=" on options described above.

Is there a way to prepare the yaml file in a way to reflect this purpose?

Many thanks for the tool.

Marcus

Dealing with --arg=value is not fully supported.
After a quick test, I am not sure it can be added easily especially if we want to keep the YAML clear and compact.

Most if not all CLI programs that support --key=value also support --key value.

What you can do, is something like this:

cli:
- --user=
- --env=dev
- --env=prod
- --env=stage

Meaning: Keep arg and its value as one completion.

The --env will complete fully and nicely
The --user (representing an open ended value) will currently add a space afterwards

There may be a way to add support for "terminate without space" by allowing a syntax like this:

cli:
- --user=$     # <-- some terminating symbol
- --env=dev
- --env=prod
- --env=stage

but I will have to see if this can be done without overcomplicating it.

In my special case

---

Install one or more eisfair packages

usage:
eisman install [OPTIONS] {PACKAGE[=VERSION]}*

options:
--help show this help screen
--unstable allow unstable packages to be included
--auto|--yes non interactive mode
--info do not install, only show packages
--file= read package list from file
--no-wait-anim do not show wait animation
--output= redirect result into a file
--url= limit root package search to this base URL

the --option=value parameters have no equivalent without "=". Furthermore the values are variable so that

--option=value1
--option=value2

is not applicable.

If would be nice if your tool can support it somewhere in the future, but this is nothing which has to be done in a rush.
