CLI: Auto complete for all the arguments

[aidin36]

There can be auto-complete for all the arguments of CLI. For example, when I write tocc --tag and press the tab, it complete the command to tocc --tags-statistics.

It can also be more smarter. Have you seen git auto-complete? If you type git checkout iss and press tab, it will complete to git checkout issue12 (assume that you have a issue12 branch).
Tocc's CLI can auto-complete things like tags, for example when I write tocc --query tag=bo and press double tab, it can list all available tags started with bo.

Is this possible? I thought that tocc would not be executed until after you have typed the whole command line and hit enter. Before that, isn't the shell running, which knows nothing about tocc? Is there something I don't understand here?

Upon investigation: yes, it can be done. It is done in bash, using bash auto-completion. See http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/tabexpansion.html

Thanks for the research.

Should I assign this to you? Are you going to work on it?

I'm busy right now. I'll take the task in a couple of weeks if no one
picks it up first.
