cd-extras Option to disable beep?

Hi could we have an option to disable the beep? https://github.com/nickcox/cd-extras/blob/e111a9edc9f5bf892359a68cd88a508e49ba0683/cd-extras/private/CompletePaths.ps1#L120

Yeah, we definitely could.

Out of interest, does it happen often for you? I tend to have a full screen terminal with $cde.MaxCompletions = 0 and it's pretty rare that I'll max it out.

I rarely use full screen terminal, and dislike any beeping... The terminal should be silent. Who want's to be listening to music and than random beeps coming from your terminal. Honestly the code works as expected, why add the beep? 🤔 I can visually determine when the list has been truncated, I don't need an audio queue.

I was going to suggest adding some sort of visual indicator. 😄

PSReadLine seems to do it with a prompt, Display all {n} possibilities? (y or n), which is also pretty annoying, imo.

If the user does not see the option they are looking for they can finetune the search.

Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function MenuComplete

Seems to provide least annoyance but occasionally it beeps.

What if we made it optionally visible in the custom tooltip section?

That's way better than a beep 👏

👍

This is sitting in master if you want to try it out. Otherwise I'll likely cut a release in the next week or so.

Tested and works great!
