Inspired by a very insightful post by @dlakelan I'm finally getting around to asking about a CLI issue I'm having.

Apparently xmms2 doesn't have tab completion out of the box. My distro is Mint 22.1. So far I figured out that I need to add a text file for it to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/. Weirdly there's already one for regular xmms. So I found one at:

https://gist.github.com/ektich/3702fd8206e3a5ba6aff14566032d6e9

And added it to the directory but still no luck. I feel like I'm missing something basic but what is it??

TIL: do not set BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR and instead place your #bash completion files in ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/ to load them lazily.

Управление сервером со смартфона

Из любого SSH-клиента можно установить канал с сервером и управлять им стандартными командами в консоли. Есть такие клиенты и для смартфона. Многие знают и используют консоль Termux под Android, которая запускает с телефона стандартный OpenSSH. Но есть варианты ещё удобнее, даже с графическим интерфейсом.

TIL Fedora's bash completion rules for `nc` / `netcat` uses the bash completion function `_known_hosts_real` which lists all hosts from ssh's known_hosts file(s) and `avahi-browse`.

Ah ha, I figured out how to load bash completions into zsh:

1. The completion file name must start with with a `_` character.
2. The completion file must be installed into `/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/`.
3. The completion file must start with the lines `#compdef command-name-here`.
4. You must enable and call the `compinit` and `bashcompinit` modules/commands in your `~/.zshrc`.

If any of those things are missing, the completions won't load/work.

How would/should a Ruby CLI install it's own custom shell completion rules? A global option that prints the completion script out? A global option that attempts to install the completion script into the correct shell directory, based on shell and whether the user is root or not. Or maybe a sub-command that prints and/or installs the shell completion script?

I kind of wish rubygems had support for installing custom completion rules.
