Ideas on how to get completion working in terminal

Completion

Here is the idea for setting up completion with a broad range of shells.

elm setup-completion <SHELL>

Bash

Add elm setup-completion bash to .bashrc.

It would run complete -C elm elm and do things with environment variables.

Fish

Add elm setup-completion fish to ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

It creates ~/.config/fish/completions/elm.fish which will be like:

• https://github.com/ohanhi/fish-elm-completions
• https://fishshell.com/docs/current/index.html#completion-own
• https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/tree/master/share/completions

This will allow me to add the descriptions and example values that I have.

Thanks to Ossi for sharing this info!

Zsh

Add elm setup-completion zsh to ~/.zshrc.

Maybe it just runs all the commands that are needed. More on the situation in:

Thanks to Mario for this information!
