Hi,

you all know and some of you probably use variants of

alias zyp='LANG=C zypper -v' alias sc='systemctl'

but that sucks, when is comes to bash completions.

While in theory, it should be enough to:

ln -s zypper.sh /etc/bash_completion.d/zyp.sh ln -s systemctl /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sc

it's not, in fact. Something along the lines of

cat > /etc/bash_completion.d/zyp.sh << EOF # zyp bash completion script . /etc/bash_completion.d/zypper.sh complete -F _zypper -o default zyp EOF

cat > /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sc << EOF # systemctl alias sc completion . /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/systemctl complete -F _systemctl sc EOF

is needed.

This is ugly as hell, of course. It might be possible to use relative paths here, but the general scheme is unsatisfying. Why doesn't bash simply completes from the expanded command?

Or is there something less cumbersome available, that I miss here?

Thanks, Pete

Switch to zsh and put compdef zyp='zypper' in your ~/.zshrc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
