Show HN: Intellisense style autocompletions inside of Bash

I've been working on my Bash plugin called flyline for a few months now and thought I'd show my latest feature: popup Intellisense style autocompletions. The completions are generated using Bash's existing completion framework (commonly scop/bash-completion or your own completion scripts). And if you don't have a completion script setup, flyline will try to synthesize one on the fly () using man pages or --help output! This is similar to https://github.com/microsoft/inshellisense but inshellisense only works for a hardcoded list of completions specifications and runs in a different process as Bash. Flyline has a bunch of other features, so if you're interested you can check it out here: https://github.com/HalFrgrd/flyline. Thanks!

> It is very possible to write sub 100ms procedures in TS, […] I won’t dispute this statement since I currently lack the means to assess inshellisense. Would it be possible for you (or someone with a functional Node + NPM setup) to install inshellisense and share the actual performance figures? You could use a tool like hyperfine (https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine) for this purpose. As an attempt to test this myself, I used a Docker image (version 21.1.0-bookworm from https://hub.docker.com/_/node/). The TypeScript tool installed without any issues, along with the binding, which simply adds the following line into ~/.bashrc: [ -f ~/.inshellisense/key-bindings.bash ] && source ~/.inshellisense/key-bindings.bash However, when I initiated a new Bash session within the same Docker container to activate the updated Bash configuration,

I encountered the following error: bash: /root/.inshellisense/key-bindings.bash: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r'' 'ash: /root/.inshellisense/key-bindings.bash: line 1: `__inshellisense__() { Due to this issue, I am unable to perform a performance test using hyperfine. The version of Bash available in this Docker image is 5.2.15(1)-release. I verified that the content of /root/.inshellisense/key-bindings.bash is exactly the same as https://github.com/microsoft/inshellisense/blob/main/shell/k...
