zsh-autosuggestions VS zsh-autocomplete

zsh-autosuggestions

+1 on oh-my-zsh

I recommend Oh My Zsh with the zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting plugins.

And my custom theme ;) https://github.com/whyboris/dotfiles/blob/main/yboris.zsh-th...

> FISH - mainly because of it's excellent auto-completion that displays as you type.

Said functionality for zsh:

zsh autosuggestions (really fun plugin that gives realtime suggestions for terminal commands)

My personal favorite is a combination of zsh-autosuggestions and binding up arrow to up-line-or-beginning-search. Then you just start typing and either the history item you want is previewed, or you can search with your current input by pressing up repeatedly.

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

.sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Is anyone else mostly rolling with the zsh (not oh-my-zsh) defaults?

After so many years of using Bash I switched to zsh almost a year ago. I use the vanilla zsh set up with 2 plugins:

- https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin... for very good and fast syntax highlighting

- https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions for auto-suggestions

I don't use a plugin manager, instead I put together a ~20 line shell script[0] which handles either cloning or pulling plugins, then you can load them in your zshrc[1].

I haven't found the need for anything else and my whole dev environment is based on using tmux, terminal Vim, etc.. Basically I spend a lot of time there in my day to day.

Zsh-autocomplete

Fig is proprietary, requires e-mail and has telemetry

you don’t need Fig, if you have zsh you can use zsh-autocomplete, which is no worse than Fig

You may have a look at https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

I use configured zsh which has majority of features mentioned above. It is integrated with fzf and also has autcompletions(with help description), autosuggestions,hints, file completions and more. You can see my zsh dotfiles below.

https://github.com/varbhat/dotfiles/tree/main/dot_config/zsh

I could even have enabled real time type ahead completions with this plugin but i haven't (because i don't need this feature) : https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

i use my current configuration on foot terminal (which itself is blazing fast and boasts fastest vtt parser) in linux and kitty terminal (which is very feature rich, even has terminal graphics protocol so that you can even run glxgears(opengl cube demo: https://github.com/michaeljclark/glkitty) on it) on linux and macos.

i am sure that other shells such has fish also has these features.

So, what benefits do i get on switching to warp? currently,i don't see any except few marketing words which aren't enough for me to start using warp.

I might be missing something but i am all ears.

There's an alternative called Oh My Zsh, which is a framework to Zsh, an alternative shell to the default shell. On top of that, with OhMyZsh, you can install plugins like Zsh-autocomplete.

There's https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete which looks neat, but I haven't tried it because it also looks overwhelming.

Preset configuration in ZSH plugin form, no external apps: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

Maybe this recording helps: https://asciinema.org/a/BluGyxHift2Wxkd9YTePMf1BV . The autocomplete plugin is called zsh-autocomplete.

See this issue

zsh-autocomplete Too buggy for my taste, but realtime contextual completions are quite cool.
