[Help-bash] autocompletion - adding a space after a hint

[Quaquaraqua]

Hi,

I've already tried to ask about this issue on bashscripts.org, but 
didn't receive a satisfactory answer so far. My question is there a way 
to have the autocompletion functionality adding a space after a 
suggestion in certain cases, and not in others?

For instance, consider a function that can have arguments such as -c 
<key> <path>. I'd like that when a user is looking for <key>, he or she 
presses <TAB> and selects the suggestion, then the caret should move to 
the next argument adding a space after the suggestion. And indeed this 
is the default. However when the argument refers to a <path>, after a 
suggestion the caret shouldn't be moved further, because the user may 
want to continue traversing the path looking for the folders/files 
inside the current path.

Currently I have disabled the feature of adding a space setting `-o 
nospace', but this disables it all together for both keys and paths.

This is my code so far:

# Autocompletion
function _go_autocomplete() {
    COMPREPLY=( ); # restore to empty
    local cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}

    # command
    if [ "$COMP_CWORD" == "1" ]; then
        if [ ${cur:0:1} == "-" ]; then
            # all the commands
            COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W '-c --create -d --delete -l 
--list' -- $cur ) );
        else
            COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -G $cur\*/ ) );
        fi;
    #  ...
    fi;
}

complete -o nospace -F _go_autocomplete go;



Thanks,
