Better integration with zsh

[dtcyganok]

Currently autocomplete by Tab for [<path>] argument does not works.

Thank you for reporting this. Currently, autocompletion files are auto-generated. I'm not sure if this can be fixed by configuring clap. Any help would definitely be appreciated.

It looks like this is related to clap-rs/clap#568

@sharkdp I just installed fd via sudo dpkg -i fd_8.0.0_amd64.deb but got no auto-completion items for the fish shell. Is this issue the same as this one, or a new issue?

edit: I've re-tested and auto-completion does work, so nevermind this.

[sharkdp]

That's something else. Could you please open a new ticket?

I have written a native Zsh completion script for personal use (actually, I had no idea there was an autogenerated completion script), and I have been thinking of sharing it with zsh-users/zsh-completions or here, and I found this issue. I took existing _find completion as example, so the completion offers the letters for -t, or commands and options for -x, and directories for the second positional argument, for example.

Here it is working:

I can create a PR if you are interested. I have fd 7.5.0 installed though, I would need to check if there are missing options for newer versions, but shouldn't be a problem.

That sounds fantastic!

I'd be glad to replace the auto-generated file with the hand-written, if it's up to date. I guess a few changes will be necessary to the build/deployment system as well. See for example:

fd/ci/before_deploy.bash

Line 148 in 74c3431
