[Feature request]: Install terminal auto-completion

[gustavonmartins]

I have installed skim and prefer it over fzf, but I miss being able of pressing CTRL+T for auto completion in terminal, and CTRL+R for history auto complication and ALT+C for changing directory.

I have installed both fzf and skim thru brew, and after finishing the installation of fzf in brew it warns me that I can add those auto completions by running /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/fzf/install

It would be very nice to provide the same feature for skim.

Thanks a lot!

That seems to be a packaging issue, not of skim itself. For example, on Arch Linux skim comes with those conveniences:

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/skim/ -> check package contents -> completion.zsh / key-bindings.zsh. I have it sourced in my .rc files and I can use key bindings like Ctrl + T to pick files and Ctrl + R to find a command in shell history. Maybe such files are present in brew package too?

Yes, those files are installed, but I have to source them manually as you said. In fzf, after installing it can source it automatically for you by running an extra install script. If you are a power user its ok to source it manually, but for most of people the auto sourcing of fzf is nicer.

I installed it thru pacman now in Manjaro and unfortunately the situation is the same

I am on ubuntu and installed through 'cargo install' it would be nice if there was a short section in the readme for how to turn these features on

Another point is that it's not mentioned anywhere in the docs that this repo comes with shell bindings and completions.

Yeah and the install script also doesn't have the option to do that like fzf's has. I can't really get them to work manually, so I don't think I could contribute them becoming part of the install script.
