zoxide custom alias

[robrecord]

hi there, in zoxide you can customize the command from z and zi to whatever letter you like (eg. d and di). if this is done, it's impossible to get completions using carapace. (edit: in fact i am finding it impossible to get completions using the default commands as well). how could this be resolved? thank you.

Shell aliases should work, but here zoxide probably registers a shell function under a different name.
A User Spec should work:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://carapace.sh/schemas/command.json
name: zi
parsing: disabled
completion:
  positionalany: ["$carapace.bridge.CarapaceBin([zoxide])"]

Disabling the internal completer might also be an option if zoxide has support for your shell.

Thanks - I'm a bit confused though, I thought zoxide was supported by carapace? It doesn’t seem to work at all, even if I disable the alternative alias and have it work as standard. Am I supposed to be able to type `z ./` then tab and have paths be shown? I get all sorts of other things.

Hmmm...there was a request for it in the past and I added an initial version.
Looking at it there are indeed a couple of things still missing.

No wait. There is completion for the zoxide command, but z isn't an alias for it.
Not using zoxide myself so I got confused there.
z should work if you follow the zoxide instructions: e.g. eval "$(zoxide init zsh)".
