As my time with linux, I created a lot of scripts. Some of them have input parameters and sometimes I just forget this parameters.

So I wonder if there is some way to create autocomplete parameters, like i autocomplete a path by pressing the tab key?

For example a script. ./test.sh can be completed with parameter-one, eg. ./test.sh parameter-one or ./test.sh parameter-two. If i type now ./test.sh followed by tab it should add parameter-one if i press tab again it should change to parameter-two.

How can I do that? I’m on bash…

    It took me a while to get around to this so I could sanitize some of the highly-personal stuff there (mostly just a bunch of URLs because I don’t use browser bookmarks lol), but here’s a condensed version of what I like to use Espanso for.

    The second half is …interesting. I wanted a way to autofill passwords from my password manager in any application, not just a browser. It’s a very homebrewed solution, and it only works on Windows and Linux because macOS blocks tools like Espanso from viewing or modifying login input fields.

    Did you put in a request for this?

    For a Wayland Flatpak or RPM? I haven’t looked in a long time, but I believe there’s an open issue for a Wayland RPM.

    Edit: Found them: Flatpak issue and RPM issue.
