This is a great feature request! Totally worth it and very useful for all the robotics community. Also not only for ROS2 but for some ROS1 users as well.

Describe the solution you'd like?
I am writing to request an important enhancement for the Warp terminal that is specifically designed to improve the experience for developers working with ROS2 in Linux. The core of this request is to address the current behavior where the terminal suggests a directory path when entering keywords after the 'ros2 run' command, rather than recommending possible ROS2 nodes. This feature is essential for those heavily involved in robotics development, as it significantly affects command-line efficiency and usability.
In the traditional terminal experience, typing a command like 'ros2 run' followed by pressing the tab key would intuitively suggest possible nodes or executables relevant to ROS2, aiding in command discovery and memory. This autocompletion feature is vital for speeding up development workflows and enabling users to avoid constant referrals to external documentation for command syntax and options.
Therefore, I propose enhancing Warp to intelligently recommend commands or node names related to specific frameworks or tools (such as ROS2) instead of defaulting to directory paths upon tab completion. This improvement will better serve the ROS2 development community by aligning Warp's functionality with the practical needs and expectations of its users.
Implementing this feature could significantly boost Warp's usability and efficiency for robotics developers, making it a more attractive terminal option for professional development environments. It addresses a specific pain point in the ROS2 community, thereby potentially increasing Warp's adoption and satisfaction among developers in this field.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. I believe it will make a substantial difference in the daily workflows of ROS2 developers and contribute positively to Warp's development as a tool that truly understands and meets the needs of its user base.
