Autocompletion of book names

$ dnote v j<hit tab>
$ dnote v javascript<hit tab>
$ dnote v js
# ...

This is a bit tricky as this depends on the shell you want to provide autocompletions for. Bash and zsh sound like a good place to start, but I'm not 100% how things work on Windows.

@sungwoncho - is Windows within scope for this issue? I can help with the zsh and bash completion scripts, but have no experience with Windows.

[sungwoncho]

I think zsh and bash is a good place to start.

I have implemented bash and zsh completion in #193 and opened a PR to include it in oh-my-zsh https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/pull/7885.

If you have any suggestions on how we can make the autocompletion available and just work, please let me know. I'm thinking maybe installation script should place the autocompletion scripts in appropriate places but that might require sudo.

On bash, I'm using this: /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/dnote

# bash completion for dnote

have dnote &&
_dnote()
{
  local cur prev
  COMPREPLY=()
  _get_comp_words_by_ref cur prev

  case $prev in
    v|view|a|add)
      COMPREPLY=( $( compgen  -W '$(dnote view --name-only)' -- "$cur" ) )
      return 0
      ;;
  esac

  COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W '$( dnote -h | grep "^ *[a-z]\+" -o )' -- "$cur"))
} && complete -F _dnote dnote

This has been implemented.
