Shell completion

Am I am missing something or is there still no shell completion?

Actually, I would separate the completion in two distinct types:

1. Basic completion. Suggesting commands (e.g. new, list, ...) and flags for each of those commands (e.g. --help, -f/--format, ...).
2. Filter completion. Suggesting note title, note id or tags when filtering (e.g. https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk/blob/main/docs/note-filtering.md#filter-by-tags)

For instance, taskwarrior suggests a multitude of dates/day/month/events when creating a new task with a due date. For zk, the ultimate completion state could be to suggest similar days/events when filtering notes by creation or modification (see below).

Do you guys know if any work has been done on this? I think even the simple completion would be a huge win for cli usability. It'd be nice to be able to page through the notes by calling zk edit <t>. If no one is actively working on it, I could take a look.

This is not being worked on since the start of 2024 when I came on board. Before that, I'm not sure, but that's more or less a general "no" I'd say.

I agree, it would be nice :)

It'd be nice to be able to page through the notes by calling zk edit .

zk edit -i should work for that particular use case.
