Ordinary completion with TAB in addition to custom one from SPACE+TAB

[alecandido]

I'm already using fzf-tab for interactive completion, so I appreciate that you do not overwrite with zoxide native interactive completion, keeping it on <SPACE><TAB>.

Still, I would like the same completion list that is available to <SPACE><TAB> to be provided to ordinary ZSH completion if I press just <TAB>.
In this way, I'd be able to use just <TAB> to get interactive completion, in a consistent way with all the other commands (as it was working for fasd, that I was using before).

I prefer use <TAB> to open query and press <ENTER> cd to dir directly. Is there any setup guide?

I'm using fzf-tab with follow configuration, looks good:

eval "$(zoxide init zsh --cmd cd)"

__zoxide_z_complete () {
  args=$(zoxide query -l)
  _arguments "1:profiles:($args)"
}
#fzf-tab config
zstyle ':completion:*:__zoxide_z:*' sort false

@alecandido the good thing about Space+Tab (on the latest zoxide) is that it performs the cd directly instead of simply completing the command.

The way z is designed to be used is:

• Within a directory, it is a drop-in replacement for the cd command. Early on in this project, I programmed z just to jump, and used cd otherwise - but I found that it was hard to build muscle memory for this. Every time I changed directories, I would have to remind myself to "jump" there. The benefit of a single command to do both is that you quickly learn to always use z.
• Mostly, when jumping, just a couple of characters tend to be good enough. However, by nature of the tool, queries are ambiguous - so I added a Space+Tab feature so that people could review the list of options before jumping. On the latest version of zoxide, this is a faster workflow than fzf-tab - because fzf doesn't "complete" the command - it directly jumps to the selected directory.

I'd strongly encourage you to try this out on the latest version of zoxide. If you'd still like to program your own completions, you can get them using zoxide query --list <keywords>.

In the meanwhile, I started using carapace for the completion, it gave exactly what I wanted (tab completion, and no direct cd on completion selection).

I acknowledge it doesn't have to be necessarily this way, it is highly personal. Thank you very much for your kind reply :)
