[PATCH v2] completion: complete bash completion rewrite

Jani Nikula jani at nikula.org
Sun Mar 3 12:59:28 PST 2013


Rewrite the bash completion script to actually do something
useful. Supported completions:

* All the notmuch commands, command line arguments, and values for
  keyword arguments.

* Tags after + and - in 'notmuch tag'.

* Config options in 'notmuch config', and some config option values.

* Search prefixes in all commands that use search terms.

* Tags after tag: prefix in search terms.

* User's email addresses after from: and to: in search terms.

This is all based on the bash-completion package [1], and will not
work without it.

CAVEATS:

There may be dependencies on the version of the bash-completion
package. I do not know, and I don't have a huge interest in finding
out. That way lay dragons.

Regardless, I think this is a *huge* improvement on the status quo for
anyone this works for. And if it doesn't, the loss is roughly
equivalent to the usefulness of the old completion script, i.e. "not
much". It's also a *much* more interesting starting point for anyone
wishing to improve upon.
