   I think that's because the shell knows when to autocomplete paths usually when they come right after a command or flag. The shell treats "word=brute.for<TAB>" as a single string, so it doesn’t recognize it as a path that needs completing because it's mixed with other text ("word=").

   For the workaround, you can set up a simple custom completion script for alterx to handle completions:

   # if you're using Bash :)
   _alterx_custom_completion() {
       local cur
   
       cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
       COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -f -- "$cur") )
   }
   
   complete -F _alterx_custom_completion alterx

   Thank you.

   Works good. But doing source .bashrc gave me a different result than closing the terminal and opening it again.
