hetaaaaaaaansh af1db4e3c9 cmake: suggest -D arguments required by --find-package
--find-package (cmake's legacy pkg-config-like mode) silently requires
-DNAME=, -DLANGUAGE=, -DCOMPILER_ID= and -DMODE= to be set, or cmake
aborts with a chain of 'argument not specified' errors (see
Modules/CMakeFindPackageMode.cmake). The completion script gave no
hint that these were needed.

Detect --find-package on the command line and, when present, offer
NAME/LANGUAGE/COMPILER_ID/MODE alongside the usual -D property names,
plus value completion for each (e.g. LANGUAGE -> C/CXX/Fortran,
MODE -> EXIST/COMPILE/LINK).

Fixes #593

Additional completion definitions for Zsh.

This project aims at gathering/developing new completion scripts that are not available in Zsh yet. The scripts may be contributed to the Zsh project when stable enough.

Using zsh frameworks

antigen

Add antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-completions to your ~/.zshrc.

oh-my-zsh

To avoid issues with redundant .zcompdump cache generation (see #603), do not load zsh-completions as a standard plugin.
Instead, follow this optimized approach:

  1. Clone the repository into your custom plugins directory:
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions.git \
  ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-completions
  1. Update your ~/.zshrc configuration before sourcing oh-my-zsh:
fpath+=${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-completions/src
autoload -U compinit && compinit
source "$ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh"

This prevents compinit from being called twice and significantly improves shell startup time.

zinit

Add zinit light zsh-users/zsh-completions to your ~/.zshrc.


Manual installation

  • Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions.git
  • Include the directory in your $fpath, for example by adding in ~/.zshrc:
fpath=(path/to/zsh-completions/src $fpath)
  • You may have to force rebuild zcompdump:
rm -f ~/.zcompdump; compinit
