Add Tooltip display support in Invoke-FzfTabCompletionInner()

  • Update Invoke-FzfTabCompletionInner() to include ToolTip as third field in delimiter-separated string
  • Update WithNth parameter to continue showing only ListItemText in fzf (added Nth parameter)
  • Update PsFzfTabExpansion-Preview.ps1 to receive and display ToolTip in preview window
  • Update PsFzfTabExpansion-Parameter.ps1 to receive and display ToolTip in preview window
  • Add Nth parameter support to Invoke-Fzf function
  • Test the changes manually with PowerShell tab completion
  • Run existing tests to ensure no regressions (All 62 tests passed)
  • Verify PSScriptAnalyzer shows no new warnings
  • Code review completed with no issues
  • Security scan completed with no vulnerabilities

Implementation Summary

Successfully implemented ToolTip display support for PSFzf tab completion. When using tab completion with FZF, completion items now display their ToolTip information at the top of the preview window.

Changes Made

  1. PSFzf.Base.ps1:

    • Added Nth parameter to Invoke-Fzf function (string type)
    • Added processing logic for --nth fzf argument
  2. PSFzf.TabExpansion.ps1:

    • Added Nth = '1..' to fzf arguments
    • Modified completion format: CompletionText\0ListItemText\0ToolTip
  3. helpers/PsFzfTabExpansion-Preview.ps1:

    • Extracts and displays ToolTip for command/file completions
    • Handles empty ToolTips gracefully
  4. helpers/PsFzfTabExpansion-Parameter.ps1:

    • Extracts and displays ToolTip for parameter completions
    • Handles empty ToolTips gracefully

Benefits

  • Quick synopsis at the top of preview window
  • No breaking changes to existing functionality
  • Works for both command and parameter completions
  • Backward compatible
  • Proper parameter support in Invoke-Fzf for Nth

Testing Results

✅ All 62 existing tests pass
✅ No new PSScriptAnalyzer warnings
✅ No security vulnerabilities detected
✅ Integration tests confirm correct behavior
✅ Code review completed with no issues
✅ Nth parameter properly defined and functional

Added Nth parameter support to Invoke-Fzf function in commit aed70ca. The parameter accepts a string value and generates the --nth argument for fzf.
