If argument position - `0` is requested it will raise an error. - * Use `command.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentFile` to complete filenames. Glob - patterns (e.g. `"*.log"`) are optional - if not specified it will offer to - complete all file types. - * Use `command.MarkZshCompPositionalArgumentWords` to offer specific words for - completion. At least one word is required. - * It's possible to specify completion for some arguments and leave some - unspecified (e.g. offer words for second argument but nothing for first - argument). This will cause no completion for first argument but words - completion for second argument. - * If no argument completion was specified for 1st argument (but optionally was - specified for 2nd) and the command has `ValidArgs` it will be used as - completion options for 1st argument. - * Argument completions only offered for commands with no subcommands. - -### What's not yet Supported - -* Custom completion scripts are not supported yet (We should probably create zsh - specific one, doesn't make sense to re-use the bash one as the functions will - be different). -* Whatever other feature you're looking for and doesn't exist :) +## Generating Zsh Completion For Your cobra.Command + +Please refer to [Shell Completions](shell_completions.md) for details. + +## Zsh completions standardization + +Cobra 1.1 standardized its zsh completion support to align it with its other shell completions.
