I was reading [an old debian-administration.org post][debadm] about [Bash programmable completion][pcomp], and I had the same question as this person:
I created a script and I use bash_completion, but I cannot figure out how to allow the completion of "--name=value1 --name=value2" (the "=" sign in the middle stop any other completion, and I tried to play with suffixes/prefixes without any success :s

This replaces an earlier Perl version I'd been using for years, but I started thinking, hey, Bash can do all that. It's about ten lines longer than the Perl version, but possibly more readable.

| ## Originally based on `main.py` from Flatsweep by giantpinkrobots[1], but |
elementary OS's Contractor service uses standard Linux .desktop files (spec) with a .contract extension to provide context (secondary-click) menu entries for specific MIME types. System-wide apps put these in /usr/share/contractor, whatever the Flatpak version of that is, and you can create your own in ~/.local/share/contractor. Below are some examples.
If you want a specific Contractor action to apply to all filetypes, including device special files, directories, whatever, you can exploit the ! (exclusion) operator in the MimeType key, like this:
MimeType=!nothing;
