Hi there!

shell.complete() seems to only allow arguments for a select few programs... Is there any way your programs can be built to have shell.complete() have completions for arguments, or at least general arguments (such as filepaths), or is there a way to add them in using code?

Or do I just have to redo shell.complete(), and if so, how the heck would you do that?

Yes, it's possible. See /rom/startup for usage examples.

Luckily for you the wiki page has already been written for the function you'll need to use. shell.setCompletionFunction()

How would you do file completions though, for instance, having my custom ls program have autocomplete for directories and files? Just wondering

[Lyqyd]

Perhaps with fs.complete? We do have a fairly good wiki. You should check it out some time.

Hehe you're funny, I do look at the wiki thankyouverymuch.

This didn't seem to work but I think it is an issue with my code, I will try this later. Thanks for the help
