Feature Request: try detecting common arguments and set up completions (e.g. filenames).

[Michael Cho]

It would be nice to detect arguments like '<filename>' and automatically add support for completing files on local filesystem.

Could also be considered for main repo's navi --tldr command.
Examples

• {{path/to/directory}} = show available directories
• {{path/to/file}} = show available files
• {{path/to/file_or_directory}} = show available files & directories

I'm not sure I'm following. Do you want autocomplete for what kind of files? .cheat files?

[Michael Cho]

Sorry, I should have said suggestions rather than completions.

This is a feature in the interactive client TLDR++, which has some logic to detect certain common arguments used in TLDR pages (like the ones I referred to along with filtering on .<extension>).

In terms of Navi features, this would be generating $ options.

Not too sure what is best command to use though.
Using {{path/to/directory}} as example, some options include:

• $ path_to_directory: ls -d */ - will only show directories inside current directory.
• $ path_to_directory: find . -type d or $ path_to_directory: fd . --type d or whatever the FZF/Skim default command is - will suggest quite a number of directories depending on location, though fzf should make it usable. Cannot do absolute path suggestions.

Looking at the top 10 arguments in TLDR pages:

❯ rg -oNI --no-heading '\{\{([^}]*)\}\}' "$TEALDEER_CACHE_DIR/tldr-master/pages" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nrk1 | head -10
 371 {{path/to/file}}
 287 {{path/to/directory}}
 205 {{filename}}
 180 {{file}}
 172 {{command}}
 152 {{username}}
 121 {{package_name}}
 115 {{name}}
 108 {{path/to/file_or_directory}}
  99 {{package}}

5 of them are related to files/directories, so having the suggestion would be nice.
Some of these may be new files, so need to make sure that manual input is still an available option.
