Sure, but it would be great if it went a little further: "... and/or provides a documentation panel for that argument". Having a one-liner to explain what ls's `--dired` does without having to drop down to a new line and look it up would be great, displaying the first sentence of the relevant section of the man page could be enough?
- rjwebb 13y agoDoesn't zsh do something like this? At the very least, it seems to be extensible enough that you could provide completion+manpage documentation if you wanted to.

My 'kill' autocompletes with a ps-like output, for example.
- samsquire 13y agoDoes zsh support matching long and arguments? That's what I want. A bit like fish (http://fishshell.com/assets/img/screenshots/man_completions.png http://fishshell.com/assets/img/screenshots/man_completions....) and finalterm which others have mentioned.
