Tab completion does not work with time prefix:
time <tab>
How can I add the auto completion? Just want the default command completion behavior.

First of all, `time` in bash is not a builtin, it's a [reserved word](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/270614/why-does-bash-implement-time-as-a-reserved-word-instead-of-a-builtin). Secondly, this reserved word in bash only has one possible flag - `-p`. Why do you need autocomplete for that? – aviro Mar 01 '22 at 08:44

on ZSH with OMZ this works – mashuptwice Mar 01 '22 at 10:16

it should also complete all possible commands. eg `time dock[tab]` completes `time docker` because docker is an available command in my system. I wish I knew how it worked as I want the same behaviour for one fo my scripts. – Brad Mar 31 '22 at 03:39
