Show suggestions only for the options of a command

[suikoy]

Hi,
I would like to know if there's a way to get suggestions from this plugin only for the options of a command (without getting suggestions from previous commands, folders, etc.).
Since I already have other plugins active (like zsh-autosuggestions), I would like to enable autocomplete mainly when I type a command, for example find and when I press - get the list of available options.
Thanks

Just add the following to your .zshrc file:

builtin zstyle ':completion:*:*:*:*:*' tag-order '(|*-)options' -

Unfortunately there are 2 problems:

1. as soon as I inserted the line you suggested into my .zshrc, the auto-completion no longer works when I press the TAB key (I press tab 1-2-N times but nothing happens)

2. If I remove this line but keep the zsh-autocomplete plugin active, I still have the problem that as soon as I press TAB, the first suggestion is written in the prompt. I've always worked by pressing TAB once to see (under the prompt) the suggestions (without applying them) and pressing TAB twice to enter the list of suggestions and choose the one I prefer with the directional arrows.

Here a part of my .zshrc:

ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
export ZSH

source "$ZSH"/oh-my-zsh.sh
source "$ZSH"/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
source "$ZSH"/custom/plugins/zsh-completions/zsh-completions.plugin.zsh
source "$ZSH"/custom/plugins/zsh-history-substring-search/zsh-history-substring-search.zsh
source "$ZSH"/custom/plugins/zsh-autocomplete/zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh
source "$ZSH"/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
zstyle ':autocomplete:*' insert-unambiguous false

builtin zstyle ':completion:*:*:*:*:*' tag-order '(|*-)options' -

If you want to see completions only when you press Tab, then why do you use Autocomplete? 🤔

As I wrote in my first message, my goal was to understand if there's a way to see suggestions for available options for common commands (find, ps, grep, etc.) without altering the behavior of the Tab key. I think it would be useful, for example, when you type "find," to have a list of all available options without losing the ability to use Tab with other installed plugins

Oh, you mean you want to use Autocomplete only for command arguments, but want to use the default completion system for everything else?

That's currently not possible. I made an issue for it: #812

ok thanks!
