Terminal shell completions

[Saghen]

it should be possible to provide completions for the terminal by getting the completions from the shell

@Saghen Would this feature also eliminate the need for cmp-cmdline as a source through blink.compat as well?

[Saghen]

@JustBarnt This would actually be for the terminal shell rather than command line (I.e. fish or zsh). I've had a few people think this is about command line so you're not alone 😄 I'll make the title clearer

[JustBarnt]

@Saghen No worries! Thanks for the clarification! Looking forward to this as well as neovim commandline completions as well! Then I can full remove cmp from my config! 🤣 Keep up the amazing work!

Related question – is there currently a way to trigger completions in terminal mode from any source? For example, if I was running a Python repl in the Neovim terminal, is there a conceivable way that I could trigger Python autocomplete in the terminal buffer?

[Saghen]

Not right now because lib/buffer_events.lua doesn't trigger outside of insert/select modes. PR welcome though if anyone is interested! I'll likely come back to this idea after 1.0
