bash autocomplete

Hi,
Awesome feature with the aliases, I really like it
Is there a way to get autocomplete for aliases, or will this be implemented later?

We don't have it yet, but this is definitely something we'd like to do!

[knifhen]

Cool, looking forward to that!

Before finding out about AWS Aliases, I actually had a makefile for my common AWS tasks (a bit weird usage, I know).

These AWS Aliases are much more appropriate for these common AWS tasks I have and don't divide opinions as much as using makefiles.

BUT, what I loose by moving to AWS Aliases are:

• Nice shell autocompletions (especially ZSH+oh-my-zsh has a super nice makefile support)
• "Self-documenting" CLI API: https://marmelab.com/blog/2016/02/29/auto-documented-makefile.html

I don't expect that "self-documenting" part to really happen, but I'd argue having autocomplete support would benefit the utilization of AWS CLI aliases 🙂

Any updates on this request?

Because command completion is handled by aws_completer it's not likely this would work without implementing your own custom shell completion files.
