sd actually has tab completion and it was one of the reasons the author made it

He explains it on his blog: https://ianthehenry.com/posts/sd-my-script-directory/



I love this description of the impact of the tool:

> Being able to type sd new foo command instead of vim ~/bin/command, typing the shebang, trying to run it, realizing I forgot to make it executable, running it again… it’s made my life slightly better. And because it’s so easy to save snippets for later, I find that I’m much more likely to do it – and a lot less likely to find myself combing through ctrl-r a few months later.

> Otherwise, you know, it’s not lifechanging. It won’t help you to appreciate the smaller beauties all around you. You’ll still wake up feeling groggy.


Ah gotcha. That info is in the repo, just didn't get through my head the first time. Didn't know tab completion could be used like that.
