[SOLVED] Command argument auto suggestion

I  come from Devuan, and the package manager there, apt, would suggest me which packages start with the letters I already typed, same for youtube-dl when I would start to type an argument and press tab.

When I try with pacman, nothing, same with youtube-dl on arch (installed from the repos)

I used lxqt and QTerminal on debian as well, what may cause this loss of functionality?

Any ideas or suggestions welcome. Thanks a lot

Do you have package bash-completion installed?

Thank you so much, after a reboot it worked! And thanks for the archlinux support, I just checked I had it alright.

Code: [Select]
~$ youtube-dl --
