powershell completion with custom comp (#1208)
The current powershell completion is not very capable. Let's port it to the go custom completion logic to have a unified experience accross all shells. Powershell supports three different completion modes - TabCompleteNext (default windows style - on each key press the next option is displayed) - Complete (works like bash) - MenuComplete (works like zsh) You set the mode with `Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function <mode>` To keep it backwards compatible `GenPowerShellCompletion` will not display descriptions. Use `GenPowerShellCompletionWithDesc` instead. Descriptions will only be displayed with `MenuComplete` or `Complete`. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>

# Generating PowerShell Completions For Your Own cobra.Command
|
||||
|
||||
Cobra can generate PowerShell completion scripts. Users need PowerShell version 5.0 or above, which comes with Windows 10 and can be downloaded separately for Windows 7 or 8.1. They can then write the completions to a file and source this file from their PowerShell profile, which is referenced by the `$Profile` environment variable. See `Get-Help about_Profiles` for more info about PowerShell profiles.
|
||||
|
||||
*Note*: PowerShell completions have not (yet?) been aligned to Cobra's generic shell completion support. This implies the PowerShell completions are not as rich as for other shells (see [What's not yet supported](#whats-not-yet-supported)), and may behave slightly differently. They are still very useful for PowerShell users.
|
||||
|
||||
# What's supported
|
||||
|
||||
- Completion for subcommands using their `.Short` description
|
||||
- Completion for non-hidden flags using their `.Name` and `.Shorthand`
|
||||
|
||||
# What's not yet supported
|
||||
|
||||
- Command aliases
|
||||
- Required, filename or custom flags (they will work like normal flags)
|
||||
- Custom completion scripts
|
||||
Please refer to [Shell Completions](shell_completions.md#powershell-completions) for details.

## PowerShell completions
|
||||
|
||||
Please refer to [PowerShell Completions](powershell_completions.md) for details.
|
||||
Cobra supports native PowerShell completions generated from the root `cobra.Command`. You can use the `command.GenPowerShellCompletion()` or `command.GenPowerShellCompletionFile()` functions. To include descriptions use `command.GenPowerShellCompletionWithDesc()` and `command.GenPowerShellCompletionFileWithDesc()`. Cobra will provide the description automatically based on usage information. You can choose to make this option configurable by your users.
|
||||
|
||||
The script is designed to support all three Powershell completion modes:
|
||||
|
||||
* TabCompleteNext (default windows style - on each key press the next option is displayed)
|
||||
* Complete (works like bash)
|
||||
* MenuComplete (works like zsh)
|
||||
|
||||
You set the mode with `Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function <mode>`. Descriptions are only displayed when using the `Complete` or `MenuComplete` mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Users need PowerShell version 5.0 or above, which comes with Windows 10 and can be downloaded separately for Windows 7 or 8.1. They can then write the completions to a file and source this file from their PowerShell profile, which is referenced by the `$Profile` environment variable. See `Get-Help about_Profiles` for more info about PowerShell profiles.

* `BashCompFilenameExt` (filtering by file extension)
|

* `BashCompSubdirsInDir` (filtering by directory)
|
||||
* The functions corresponding to the above annotations are consequently not supported and will be ignored for `powershell`:
|
||||
* `MarkFlagFilename()` and `MarkPersistentFlagFilename()` (filtering by file extension)
|
||||
* `MarkFlagDirname()` and `MarkPersistentFlagDirname()` (filtering by directory)
|
||||
* Similarly, the following completion directives are not supported and will be ignored for `powershell`:
|
||||
* `ShellCompDirectiveFilterFileExt` (filtering by file extension)
|
||||
* `ShellCompDirectiveFilterDirs` (filtering by directory)
