Terminal autocomplete

Conduish can show terminal completions in both local terminals and SSH sessions.

Terminal autocomplete is designed to feel like part of the terminal, not a separate command palette. When it is enabled, Conduish uses the current terminal context to request suggestions as you type.

Where to enable it

Open Settings > Terminal and turn on Terminal autocomplete.

That setting applies to:

  • local terminal sessions
  • SSH terminal sessions

What is supported

Autocomplete support exists for both local and SSH terminals, but support is not identical everywhere.

SSH autocomplete requires the companion

SSH autocomplete only works when the remote companion is installed and healthy on the host you connected to.

  • Local terminals support autocomplete when the setting is enabled.
  • SSH terminals support autocomplete when the remote companion is available.
  • Shell and completion-generator support is partial, especially over SSH.

At a glance

Autocomplete depends on the terminal session having enough context to produce suggestions. In practice that means Conduish needs the feature enabled, the bundled autocomplete resources available, and for SSH sessions, a healthy companion install on the remote host.

Suggestions can fail quietly

Conduish does not show a separate terminal error UI when autocomplete requirements are missing. Suggestions simply do not appear.
