default complete function does not display descriptions

[Sripadvallabh]

Due to some requirement, i have made a default command by overriding the default() function as shown below:

    # Default command to be 'run'
    def default(self, stmt):
        self.onecmd(f"run {stmt.raw}")

Because of this, most of the time users would be invoking 'run' command directly with arguments instead of calling 'run ':

(cmd2) <args> 
instead of 
(cmd2) run <args>

To autocomplete for the default function i have overriden the completedefault() function:

def completedefault(self, text, line, begidx, endidx):
    return run_completer(self, text, line, begidx, endidx)

run_completer() returns a list of cmd2.CompletionItem but i couldn't see the descriptions when i press double <tab>.

May i know if there is a way to make this work?

@kmvanbrunt This sounds up your alley if you get a chance ...

CompletionItem handling is only present in the argparse tab completion code.

Since default() is not an argparse-decorated command, nor can it be since it's not a do_xxx function, only basic tab completion is supported.

Understood. Thanks for your reply
