    I maintain several useful Zsh plugins: * zsh-autocomplete lists completions as you type and adds lots of additional completion features. * zsh-edit adds various handy keyboard shortcuts and a clipboard viewer. * zsh-hist adds commands and keyboard shortcuts for you quickly fixing or deleting entries from your command history. * Z Colors uses your $LS_COLORS to automatically generate a coherent color scheme for Zsh completions and Git output.

    That will color file completions, yes, but nothing else. If you want to have colors in the rest of your completions, too, try my Z Colors plugin.

    Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

    BUT...

    After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

    1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

    2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

    3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

    4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

    5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

    6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

    7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

    For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

    I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

    Is anything important missing from the native Zsh completion for nvm that comes with zsh-users/zsh-completions? If you haven't tried that, it may be better for the job anyway.
