Bash completion for Timewarrior

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Copy or link the bash script to the appropriate place.

You can either copy or symbolic link the bash script to install it. For global installation the target directory is /etc/bash_completion.d:

Alternatively you can source the completion script in your current shell.

Usage

Type a (partial) Timewarrior command and hit [TAB][TAB]

List available commands:

$> timew[TAB][TAB]
cancel       diagnostics  help         report       stop         untag
config       export       join         shorten      summary      week
continue     extensions   lengthen     show         tag
day          gaps         month        split        tags
delete       get          move         start        track

Complete a partial command:

$> timew st[TAB][TAB]
start  stop

For timew tag you can get a list of available tags after entering an id:

$> timew tag @2 [TAB][TAB]
TAG1    TAG2    TAG3

Environment variables

With increasing size of your Timewarrior database the number of tags can also get quite large. In consequence, the completion of tags can become quite slow.

With the environment variable TIMEW_COMPLETION_TAGS_RANGE, you can set a search range for your tags, e.g. 4w for the last 4 weeks. The default is :all for the complete database. See timew help ranges and timew help hints for details on that.

Limits

Currently, not all commands are fully supported - work in progress!
