zsh-autopair VS zsh-abbr

For cases like your example, adding in https://github.com/hlissner/zsh-autopair (I'm unaffiliated, make no promises, but it works well for me) may be an acceptable solution for some people. cm " isn't as short as cm but at least it's shorter than cm "...". (Some people will even be able to use c for the abbreviation, instead of cm).

Extras: Syntax highlighting, auto suggestions, fuzzy finder/completions on tab, auto pair etc.

autopair : - A ZSH plugin for auto-closing, deleting and skipping over matching delimiters. Only tested on ZSH 5.0.2 or later.

Is there a way to have quotes (" and ') auto closed in Rails console? In the likes of https://github.com/hlissner/zsh-autopair

If that was zsh there is https://github.com/hlissner/zsh-autopair to write quotes just once. Quite useful.

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:
