fast-syntax-highlighting VS zsh-abbr

I’m concerned because I found this repo https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting which tries to imitate the old repo (before it was deleted). It’s a fork from the z-shell one. I don’t know if they’re both from the sane owner but I find it sketchy. Also z-shell doesn’t have as many stars as zdharma-continuum.

It might even work with the highlighting you're already using with OMZ, but the demo uses syntax highlighting from: fast syntax highlighting

Even http://zdharma.org/ is gone

I use https://github.com/zdharma/fast-syntax-highlighting which highlights git --version differently than git --asdf. AFAIK it uses the completions to "know" what options are valid.

If you have trouble, open a GitHub issue https://github.com/olets/zsh-abbr/issues/new/choose

The abbreviations from Fish will expand the moment you hit space or execute the command. It's basically like an alias, but will expand. However this is not possible in Bash. Zsh itself does not support this, but there is an addon I am using for: https://github.com/olets/zsh-abbr

But you aren't limited to something OMZ specific. zsh-abbr is a manager for "abbreviations" (similar to auto-expanding aliases but with additional tools, and saving everything to a file which can be backed up). And there are zsh snippet managers… I haven't used any so can't speak to them; pet might be the most popular.

Enhanced completion: Extend completion by syntax-aware completion, completion with quotes and parameter expansions in prefix texts, ambiguous candidate generation, etc. Also, menu-complete supports selection of candidates in menu (candidate list) by cursor keys, TAB and S-TAB. The feature auto-complete supports the automatic suggestion of completed texts as in fish and zsh-autosuggestions (with Bash 4.0+). The feature menu-filter integrates automatic filtering of candidates into menu completion (with Bash 4.0+). There are other functionalities such as dabbrev and sabbrev like zsh abbreviations or zsh-abbr.

I know. I have an addon for ZSH which mimics the Fish like abbreviations: https://github.com/olets/zsh-abbr

I am on ZSH and prefer abbreviations (with an addon to mimic Fish abbr), because the command will expand on typing and I change it before execution. Also it is then correctly logged as expanded version in the history. However, I also have a few aliases too:
