4254 :: zsh auto-completion

• zeegroen (orginal) [2018-09-29T14:59:10+02:00] view original

  Hi y'all,

  I see in the codebase that there is an auto-completion feature for zsh, but it doesn't seem to automagically work after installing nim through Solus's package manager:

  
  sudo eopkg install nim
  Run

  (with eopkg being the standard package manager on Solus, cfr. "apt"). What else should I do to get the auto-completion feature?

  Thanks in advance!

  Alright, so after looking around a bit, I figured how to do it. It's not that complicated, but for the sake of future readers, I will write it down here for oh-my-zsh:

  1. install zsh completions as detailed in https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions
  2. in your nim installation, you will find the file "nim/tools/nim.zsh-completion"
  3. copy this file to the plugins folder of zsh-completions under "~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-completions/src/"
  4. rename that file to "_nim"

  It should work then!
