Autocompletion for fish is not working on my system

[ChielTimmermans]

I am not sure if this feature is supported but looking through merged changes I am expecting that it would.

Currently I run zoxide with Fish on alacritty. It would be lovely if I could you tab to autocomplete the current word youŕe typing.

Could someone help me debug this issue?

+1 on this
Completions do not work for me neither in fish nor bash. I see that zoxide init fish outputs among others __zoxide_z_complete, so I guess it should work?..

Update: Ok, I figured that out in my case. So, the way z autocompletes is that by default it uses normal cd completions. "Smart" completions are only enabled if two conditions are met:

1. You entered your "guess" and a space after it
2. Your guess has at least one candidate. If that is not true, z reports an error and that looks a bit weird in the terminal.

I think the autocompletion works, but not in the way cd autocompletion does, which is not compatible with my brain :disappointed:

for now I replaced the configured zoxide autocompletion with the one found in __fish_complete_cd: (note that use zoxide through fisher)

# replace zoxide autocompletion with the default one for cd as it does not meet my expectations right now
complete -e $zoxide_cmd
complete -c $zoxide_cmd -a '(__fish_complete_cd)'

same for me. this has been driving me crazy for months.

same for me on bash.

Same here. Everything works on my zsh shell setup. Recently switched to fish shell. Using --cmd cd seems half baked. It'll take you there. However, it doesn't autocomplete and the argv[1] to the command shows as red as if not recognized.
