[Matthias199]

Same issue as here! https://github.com/ros2/ros2cli/issues/563

Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and ros humble fresh installed ...

Ahh i get if I had to add not only the " also the first letter in the message like "p in your example, yeah this way it works ... but feels a bit inconvenience. In ros1 is uses this feature also if I did not no nothing about the message to get information about it. Now i have o sure know how the message start

[fujitatomoya]

Ah, right. agree, even rolling does the following...

root@tomoyafujita:~/ros2_ws/colcon_ws# ros2 topic pub /cli_demo geometry_msgs/msg/Pose <tab..>

--keep-alive
-n
--node-name
--once

I think this at least deserve a small section in ros documentation. And i don't think it has been fixed yet.

can you describe more details what needs to be added? like we should add the quote for the message contents autocompletion?

Yes I guess something like that would be ok.
