I intended to write declare -A excluded.

I can type up to declare -A . The moment I press e I get the following:

❯ declare -A bash: /Users/lmoracas/.local/state: arithmetic syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/Users/lmoracas/.local/state")
[ble: press RET to continue]bash: /Users/lmoracas/.local/state: arithmetic syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/Users/lmoracas/.local/state")
[ble: press RET to continue]

After that point, any key press would repeat the error. For example:

❯ declare -A bash: /Users/lmoracas/.local/state: arithmetic syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/Users/lmoracas/.local/state")
[ble: press RET to continue]bash: /Users/lmoracas/.local/state: arithmetic syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/Users/lmoracas/.local/state")
bash: /Users/lmoracas/.local/state: arithmetic syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/Users/lmoracas/.local/state")
bash: /Users/lmoracas/.local/state: arithmetic syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/Users/lmoracas/.local/state")
bash: /Users/lmoracas/.local/state: arithmetic syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/Users/lmoracas/.local/state")
[ble: press RET to continue]

The same behavior can be reproduced without Tmux.

Thanks for the report, but it doesn't reproduce in my environment. This is one of the types of problems that are difficult to identify the cause when it's not reproducible in my environment. I'd appreciate it if you understand that I'll probably end up asking many questions until I identify the cause.

I first need to confirm that the problem happens inside auto-complete.

@LeonardoMor Could you follow the following steps to check the behavior for Q0..Q5?

$ declare -A e    # <-- Q0: Please confirm that the problem reproduces in the current session
$ bleopt complete_auto_history=    # <-- turn off auto-complete based on history
$ declare -A e    # <-- Q1: Does the problem reproduce here?
$ bleopt complete_auto_complete=    # <-- turn off auto-complete
$ declare -A e    # <-- Q2: Does the problem reproduce?
$ bleopt complete_auto_complete=1    # <-- restore the original setting
$ ble/function#suppress-stderr ble/complete/source:variable
$ declare -A e    # <-- Q3: Does the problem reproduce?
$ ble/function#suppress-stderr ble/complete/source:option
$ declare -A e    # <-- Q4: Does the problem reproduce?
$ ble/function#suppress-stderr ble/complete/source:sabbrev
$ declare -A e    # <-- Q5: Does the problem reproduce?

Thank you for your understanding.
