zsh-autocomplete VS zsh-autosuggestions

git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.git" $HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autocomplete

Not up to the mark with https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete which works contextually.

I found it: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

If you're using zsh, you can use zsh-autocomplete plugin. Super easy to use. zsh-autocomplete github

save yourself time and use autosuggestions/autocompletions fish shell does it by default, zsh needs a plugin https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete (this one has a video showcasing it)

Yeah second this ^ its exactly what OP is asking for. Combine with auto-complete plugin and you can find any command youve typed before easily

git clone --depth 1 -- https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autocomplete

brew install fzf # for fuzzy find files, commands, etc brew install starship $(brew --prefix)/opt/fzf/install git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting # syntax highlight for zsh git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions # smart autosuggestions for zsh echo 'eval "$(starship init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc

The big thing for me was the intuitive auto-completion which I hadn't seen anywhere else at the time, but this is now also available in zsh via this plugin:

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

The zsh-autosuggestions plugin suggests commands that you've previously used in your command history. To accept a suggestion, simply press the right arrow key.

$ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting $ git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

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.

I'm currently using vterm + zsh + zsh-autosuggestions for most of my terminal stuff.

Two by far the most popular plugins are zsh-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions. They are of high quality and quite useful.

echo "Installing zsh-autosuggestions" git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions echo "Installing zsh-syntax-highlighting" git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting echo "Installing asdf" git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf

I prefer zsh autosuggestions over the fuck. https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

Then install this plugin: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/master/INSTALL.md
