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…

      Espanso is probably the most useful software that nobody is using. I can’t live without it.

      I hope it gets an update soon…

        Its .YML formatting is really clunky. It feels like it takes up twice as much line space as .AHK (for example), which can do a lot of this kind of stuff in a single line. But I wanna go cross-platform and this is all I can find…

          I like YAML, as long as you aren’t using complicated syntax. Using the | operator will get you some flexible usage that’s mostly easy enough to read. YAML definitely has its problems though. If you want, I can share some snippets of my config.

          Sadly though, due to Espanso not having a working RPM build for Wayland (or a Flatpak, which they’re working on), it’s not quite as cross-platform as I want it to be. It won’t work on any of the cool uBlue-derived distros that I’ve gravitated toward, so I’m hoping we get a nice, big update this year.
