@Marie complete -F <function-name> <command-name>, like in the example above. Completion is registered to command names, not to to paths, so depending on what you mean by "globally", this can only be done globally (for all commands with the same name)

I have wanted to make completions myself a few times before but I have never really figured out how to register them besides globally. | |
