Want to switch to default Tab behaviour while using cd.

[TanishBansal]

How do I switch to default Tab behaviour while using cd i.e. togge between the options rather than insert all the options

[marlonrichert]

Can you please describe, step by step, what you are doing and what you expect? I don't understand what you mean.

Just like the default behavior.

$ f|
fa/ fb/ fc/

• Pressing tab for the first time: select fa/
• Second time: fb/
• Third time: fc/

[marlonrichert]

Thanks, I understand it now. I don’t have an answer to that yet. I’ll look into it.

@TanishBansal @wookayin

First, please git pull, so you're updated to the latest version.

Then, to get back the old skool complete behavior, add the following to your .zshrc file, right after you source zsh-autocomplete:

zle -N complete-word
complete-word() {
  zle .complete-word
}

[wookayin]

@marlonrichert You should introduce an environment variable to configure behaviors.

Also, the tab completion still doesn't work as I described. Did you ever test it? Even after the "roll back" overriding of complete-word, it is inserting completions just twice.

[marlonrichert]

@wookayin Sorry to hear it’s not working for you. 😕 Yes, I tested it and it worked for me exactly as you described.

What do you mean with “ it is inserting completions just twice“? Can you give me an exact test case for this where this happens?

Do you have a concrete proposal for what kind of environment variables you think should be introduced and how they shoul work? If you can write a pull request for it, even better. 🙂

[marlonrichert]

it is inserting completions just twice.

After using my suggested solution above, I can tab around infinitely, not just twice. I'm going to close this issue now. If you can provide me with a test case that let's me reproduce it, then I will reopen the issue.

@TanishBansal @wookayin
I just wanted to let you know that 7256aeb adds a new way to configure tab completion. Please see the Readme.

[NICHOLAS85]

hey @marlonrichert, I see you added support for zsh-autosuggestions and it looks like everything is working correctly. However, I can't change the tab behavior as it suggests in the readme. I'd like to start menu selection using tab but it seems it always accepts the autosuggestion. Is there a way to work around this?

[marlonrichert]

Sorry, I somehow managed to commit the new code commented out. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I now pushed it in again, but not commented out this time. Please update and try again.

[TanishBansal]

Thanks @marlonrichert, I have made quite a lot of changes from19bc2c which fulfills my current need plenty.

Thanks for your awesome work.!
