Completions Contain Trailing space

[Karuption]

Current Behavior

When doing a completion, there is a trailing space.

Expected Behavior

Native completions do not include a space in powershell, even on flag completions. I would expect carapace to be idiomatic with these.

Steps To Reproduce

1. In windows 10, using Terminal

2. My $PROFILE:

   Import-Module PSFzf
   Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -ScriptBlock { Invoke-FzfTabCompletion }
   
   $env:CARAPACE_BRIDGES = 'zsh,fish,bash,inshellisense' # optional
   carapace _carapace | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

3. Type gh a <TAB>
4. Select Alias from the FZF window
5. Auto completion of gh "alias "

Version

OS

Shell

• [ ] Nushell
• [ ] Oil
• [X] Powershell

• [ ] Zsh

Anything else?

I can see that the json generated by carapace gh powershell a has a trailing space in its CompletionText. Since there is a char in the string that needs to be escaped, FZF puts quotes around it for a literal.

The trailing space is visible by doing:

carapace.exe gh powershell a  | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty CompletionText  | Select-String -Pattern .*

This functionality seems like it is intentional, but I am not able to find exactly where in the code (or spec) that this is happening. A configuration option to disable or set the trailing options would be amazing.

Yes, this is an intentional feature for fluent completion and one of the things powershell doesn't do well. I can understand though how the inconsistency can be disrupting and adding this is fairly easy.

Thank you! Looking forward to the next release.
