    The best plugin that I've seen recently is alias-tips, which if you run the command and you've got an alias configured for that, it pops up and says, "Hey, don't forget you can type this." So if I'm using Kubernetes and I write Kubectl, apply -f and then the manifest path, it'll say, "Hey, don't forget you can just run K-A-F, and then the path." So that's probably the best plugin that I've seen recently.
