Continuous Tab Expansion

[jeeeem]

Is it possible to have an option to have a continuous tab expansion without typing the directory separator like I only need to press tab twice for the fzf to show?

You could do the below for tab completion. PSReadline supports <TAB> + <TAB> though this will break normal single <TAB> usage.

$PsFzfDesc = 'Uses PSReadline''s Completion results at any given cursor position and context ' +
    'as the source for PsFzf''s module wrapper for fzf.exe'
$PsFzfParam = @{
    Chord = 'Tab,Tab'
    BriefDescription = 'Fzf Tab Completion' 
    Description = $PsFzfDesc
    ScriptBlock = { Invoke-FzfTabCompletion }
}
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler @PsFzfParam

This section in the docs might help too.

Hmm. I believe the question might have been this:

cd abc + enter should automatically be cd abc\ so that you can just press tab again without typing \ yourself.

Ah yeah I see. Maybe the below could be helpful too

[System.Management.Automation.CompletionCompleters]::CompleteFilename( 'abc' )

I assume the below code space needs to be edited to add the ending \. It appears the PowerShell engine as of 7.4.6 has to do the same thing.

PSFzf/PSFzf.TabExpansion.ps1

Line 235 in ec306f6

function script:Invoke-FzfTabCompletionInner() {

I can do a quick PR for that if you are accepting help @mattcargile .

I think it would be a welcome inclusion, @SpBills . I would wait for @kelleyma49 's take on it as he is one performing the merges.
