Bash already has autocomplete and there are shells with richer feature sets.
What I would like to see is something like CLUI to be integrated with an IDE or a productivity tool like Adobe Photoshop. PyCharm/JetBrains already embraces the keyboard with double-Shift => Search Everywhere, and other similar shortcuts. Similarly, Photoshop would benefit from keyboard interaction for common tasks. We already have single-pixel nudge actions via the arrow keys, but a CLI prompt you could conjure up and type into would be a game changer for actions that require repetition and precision.
That is, rather than bringing GUI to the CLI, bring CLI to the GUI.
- amasad 7y agoYep, that's the plan -- we're adding to our IDE. Will report back results.
- ash 7y ago> Bash already has autocomplete What kind of autocomplete does bash have? Do I need to enable it? I've just tried bash 5.0.16. I don't see any. For example, I've typed `pw`, but `pwd` was not suggested to me. (I know there's Tab-completion, this is not what I'm talking about. I'm looking for automatic completion. Similar to Google's search suggestions and CLUI demo.)

- andai 7y agoI think fish has that?
- ash 7y agoThanks! Fish is close, but not there yet. It provides only a single autocomplete suggestion. I had to press Tab to get a list of suggestions. So: bash: no auto suggestion at all, Tab twice to see a list fish: shows single auto suggestion, Tab once to get a list zsh + zsh-autosuggestions: looks similar to fish behaviour Is there some combination of shell/plugin/terminal that provides multiple auto suggestions?
- wazzaps 7y agoThe feature you are looking for exists in `fish`
- trynewideas 7y ago> Photoshop would benefit from keyboard interaction for common tasks Out of curiosity, how often do you use Photoshop, and for what tasks?
