Tab completion does not work with time prefix:

time <tab>

How can I add the auto completion? Just want the default command completion behavior.

First of all, time in bash is not a builtin, it's a reserved word. Secondly, this reserved word in bash only has one possible flag - -p. Why do you need autocomplete for that? – aviro Mar 01 '22 at 08:44
on ZSH with OMZ this works – mashuptwice Mar 01 '22 at 10:16
it should also complete all possible commands. eg time dock[tab] completes time docker because docker is an available command in my system. I wish I knew how it worked as I want the same behaviour for one fo my scripts. – Brad Mar 31 '22 at 03:39
