Add support to autocomplete hidden files and directories as well.

This program does not handle relative path. It is necessary to create this feature.

Having a Makefile will be very helpfull for use.

Hi,

I have pressed tab once input was asked. go-input-autocomplete was crashed with the following error.

`$ go run cmd/main.go
Path: panic: runtime error: index out of range [0] with length 0

You can not autocomplete the first directory, it throws an error, it is working only after the first directory informed. For example if you are starting with /ho, on linux, it does not autocomplete to /home/.

Any improvement on the code will be accepted

To make it more user friendly tab should show or cycle through all possible suggestions to the provided path. Example:
I have a directory with files:
test1, test2
When I type test and press tab it should show test1, when I press it again it should show test2, again and it should show test1 back again.

This program only handles Linux autocompletion. It is necessary to create the autocompletion for windows as well

Any help with clean code and a better structure is wanted.

The code for Unix autocompletion is not good and not optimized. Any help on that code will be accepted

This program only handles linux autocompletion. It is necessary to create Darwin autocompletion as well

Hi,
currently , when ctrl+c is pressed, the interrupt signal is caught by autocomplete but no action is taken on it and is ignored.
Issue is to define the behavior of system when such key sequences are pressed and throw error if desired to parent functions.
Regards.

Tab autocomplete works with directories with spaces but only when spaces are not typed directly. Example:
On Windows I want to autocomplete "C:\Program Files", I have to type "C:\Program" and press tab. When I type "C:\Program<space>F" and press tab, it won't autocomplete. Issue also exists on Linux.

Hi @JoaoDanielRufino ,
currently autocomplete doesn't give flexibility of listing sub-directories of given directory. This may pose little inconvenience to user if she doesn't already know the name of sub-directory. So , proposal is along with tab key, we should support up/down arrow keys, which will display the sub-directories name one by one. This will help user in selecting particular sub-directory more easily.
What you say?
Regards.

Add tests to increase coverage of the code

Like bash/cmd if you have a directory that starts with an uppercase letter and if you type it's name starting with a lowercase, the autocompletion handle the case sensitive. This program is not handling it, you need to type the uppercase letter in order to autocomplete.
