Enhance shell completion support with Fish and improved documentation
Added comprehensive shell completion improvements: New Features: - Added Fish shell completion (fish_autocomplete.fish) - Created detailed autocomplete/README.md with installation guides - Updated main README with clearer completion setup instructions Improvements: - Fish completion uses dynamic --generate-bash-completion flag - Documented installation for all shells (Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell) - Added troubleshooting section for common issues - Included quick install commands for macOS and Linux All completion scripts use urfave/cli's dynamic completion feature, which means they automatically stay synchronized with CLI commands and don't require manual updates. Verification: ✅ Bash syntax validated ✅ Fish syntax validated ✅ All completion files follow latest standards References: - https://cli.urfave.org/v2/examples/bash-completions/ - https://fishshell.com/docs/current/completions.html Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Shell Completion for sncli
2+
3+
This directory contains shell completion scripts for the Standard Notes CLI (`sncli`).
4+
5+
## Overview
6+
7+
The completion scripts use the CLI's built-in `--generate-bash-completion` flag to dynamically generate completions, which means they automatically stay in sync with all available commands and options.
8+
9+
## Installation
10+
11+
### Bash
12+
13+
#### macOS with Homebrew
14+
15+
```bash
16+
# Install bash-completion if not already installed
17+
brew install bash-completion@2
18+
19+
# Copy the completion script
20+
sudo cp bash_autocomplete /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/sncli
21+
22+
# Add to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc
23+
echo '[ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ] && . /usr/local/etc/bash_completion' >> ~/.bash_profile
24+
source ~/.bash_profile
25+
```
26+
27+
#### Linux
28+
29+
```bash
30+
# Copy to system completion directory
31+
sudo cp bash_autocomplete /etc/bash_completion.d/sncli
32+
33+
# Source in your ~/.bashrc (usually automatic on next login)
34+
echo 'source /etc/bash_completion.d/sncli' >> ~/.bashrc
35+
source ~/.bashrc
36+
```
37+
38+
#### Manual Setup
39+
40+
```bash
41+
# Add to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
42+
export PROG=sncli
43+
source /path/to/sn-cli/autocomplete/bash_autocomplete
44+
```
45+
46+
### Zsh
47+
48+
```bash
49+
# Create completion directory if it doesn't exist
50+
mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion
51+
52+
# Copy the completion script
53+
cp zsh_autocomplete ~/.zsh/completion/_sncli
54+
55+
# Add to your ~/.zshrc (if not already present)
56+
fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
57+
autoload -U compinit && compinit
58+
59+
# Reload your shell
60+
source ~/.zshrc
61+
```
62+
63+
### Fish
64+
65+
```bash
66+
# Fish automatically loads completions from this directory
67+
mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/completions
68+
69+
# Copy the completion script
70+
cp fish_autocomplete.fish ~/.config/fish/completions/sncli.fish
71+
72+
# Reload completions (or restart fish)
73+
fish_update_completions
74+
```
75+
76+
### PowerShell
77+
78+
```powershell
79+
# Add to your PowerShell profile
80+
# Find profile location with: $PROFILE
81+
82+
# Copy the script to a permanent location
83+
Copy-Item powershell_autocomplete.ps1 ~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\
84+
85+
# Add to your profile
86+
Add-Content $PROFILE ". ~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\powershell_autocomplete.ps1"
87+
88+
# Reload profile
89+
. $PROFILE
90+
```
91+
92+
## Usage
93+
94+
Once installed, you can use Tab completion:
95+
96+
```bash
97+
sncli <TAB> # Shows all commands
98+
sncli add <TAB> # Shows add subcommands (note, tag, task)
99+
sncli get --<TAB> # Shows available flags
100+
```
101+
102+
## Verification
103+
104+
Test if completions are working:
105+
106+
```bash
107+
# Type this and press TAB
108+
sncli a<TAB>
109+
110+
# Should show: add
111+
```
112+
113+
## Troubleshooting
114+
115+
### Bash: "command not found: _get_comp_words_by_ref"
116+
117+
Install the bash-completion package:
118+
- **macOS**: `brew install bash-completion@2`
119+
- **Ubuntu/Debian**: `sudo apt-get install bash-completion`
120+
- **Fedora/RHEL**: `sudo dnf install bash-completion`
121+
122+
### Completions not appearing
123+
124+
1. Make sure the completion script is in the correct location
125+
2. Reload your shell: `exec $SHELL` or open a new terminal
126+
3. Check that `sncli` is in your PATH: `which sncli`
127+
128+
### Fish shell not finding completions
129+
130+
Make sure the file is named correctly: `~/.config/fish/completions/sncli.fish`
131+
