zplug VS zsh-abbr

Without looking too closely, I see that zplug disables monitor in at least three places in its code, and that some people have issues with it not getting re-enabled due to a stale lock file: zplug#374

I've been meaning to automate my Zsh setup for a long time, and have finally done it based on this awesome GitHub project. I updated the installation script to use Prezto and zplug to keep things a bit tidier, and added an option to automatically download the recommended Nerd Font for Powerlevel10k theme.

Yes it is incredibly heavyweight, but it's very batteries-included in its approach, which helps zsh newbies get started.

For those who want to shed the heavyweight omz stuff, I recommend zplug [0]

fyi, the webpage tested in this case is here: https://github.com/zplug/zplug

I've been using zplug for a while now. Pretty happy with it. Some people say it's slower, but it's not been enough to be an annoyance.

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:
