How would this work over SSH? What if you're using a temporary shell as another user? Also, the terminal really shouldn't have to know what is going on in the shell in order to work reliably. Tools like tmux, screen… should not have to perform directory completion.
- gkya 10y agoThere can be a single pathcompd service that does ipc too. Or maybe that can be left to readline, etc. I don't see why a command interpreter should do line editing/path completion in and of itself.
