Provide a new parameter to better collaborate with PSCompletions in PowerShell

[abgox]

Request

• PSCompletions is a completion manager for a better and simpler tab-completion experience in PowerShell.

• This is the current effect when PSCompletions and Carapace collaborate.

• The help information and completion items are together, which I think is not clear enough.

  

---

• I guess it might be implemented in the following way.

  [CompletionResult]::new('agent', 'agent (Work with agent tasks (preview))', [CompletionResultType]::ParameterName, ' ')

• But it is not the standard way in PowerShell.

• To be compatible with previous ways, I suggest adding a parameter to change it to the standard way.

  carapace _carapace --tooltip | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

  [CompletionResult]::new('agent', 'agent', [CompletionResultType]::ParameterName, 'Work with agent tasks (preview)')

• So, in PSCompletions, it can display the best effect like this.

• I think that the standard way should remove color escape code.

  

• If you use PSReadLine's MenuComplete, its effect is not very good either.

  

• Using color escape codes is probably to distinguish between completion items and tooltip.

• But in the standard way, they are separate, so there is no need to use color escape codes.

• I don't know the function of the color escape codes in the completion items; maybe they need to be retained.
• However, there should be no point in retaining them in the tooltip.

You can set NO_COLOR to 1.

You can set NO_COLOR to 1.

• This seems to be a one-size-fits-all way.
• Moreover, this approach disables escape codes at the terminal level, but the escape codes themselves are actually still retained.
  • They will not be processed in PSCompletions either.
• Are there any plans to add a relevant environment variable belonging to Carapace?
  • It can directly remove the escape codes in the completion definitions.
  • Rather than disabling them at the terminal level.

• I suggest adding CARAPACE_NO_COLOR instead of using NO_COLOR
• The scope of influence of NO_COLOR is too wide
• For example, if it is set, it will directly affect jj
