Autocomplete multiple commands in the terminal emulator

[Bohne13]

I'm using "Ptyxis" as daily terminal emulator, but the 'problem' is also present on "Black Box" as far as I know.

If I want to type for example:
flatpak list --app
an all previous distros I tiped flatpak lis and hit the tab-key for autocomplete, this worked even for longer commands with three or four commands and flags.

• Why does it work on Vanilla OS only for the first command?
• Is there a way to enable autocomplete for all possible command options?

Try enabling the login shell in Ptyxis. This works with distrobox, not sure if it works with apx tho.

And to answer the question, it is an apx bug.

Thanks for the answer.
In "Black Box" and Ptyxis the login-shell is already enabled, but the autocomplete does not work in either of them.
So the bug is known in apx and will be fixed sometime, maybee?!?

The bug is currently tracked here Vanilla-OS/desktop-image#193 though it should maybe be transferred to apx, but that can be done once the actual cause is known.

And yes, it's known but no one has gotten around to fixing this yet.
