Completions
Completions
Antidote is a plugin manager, not a complete Zsh framework. If you have used Oh-My-Zsh or Prezto in the past, you might be used to a ton of out-of-the-box features like TAB completions. To get that with an antidote-based Zsh config, you’ll need to set up completions yourself, or use a plugin that initializes completions. The good news it that’s easy to do!
Manually Configuring
If you want to manually enable Zsh completions, add the following snippet to your
.zshrc after you’ve loaded your plugins.
# .zshrc
autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
Generating completions can make Zsh slow to open a new shell session, so if you want to get fancy and are worried about performance you could always use caching and compilation to speed things up. But once you do that, you may be much better off using a plugin built to do this.
Using Plugins
For an easy to use completions plugin I recommend ez-compinit.
# run towards the TOP of your .zsh_plugins.txt before any compdef calls
mattmc3/ez-compinit
# you can even add more completions later
zsh-users/zsh-completions
Alternatively, for a light-weight but full-featured completions plugin you could also
use the zsh-utils micro-framework. You can use
everything zsh-utils offers, or just the
completion portion. To use
zsh-utils, simply add the following to your .zsh_plugins.txt file:
# .zsh_plugins.txt
# add completions functions to fpath
zsh-users/zsh-completions kind:fpath path:src
# run towards the BOTTOM of your .zsh_plugins.txt after fpath is populated
belak/zsh-utils path:completion
