  • zsh-autosuggestions

    Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh

  • Might be an overkill to recommend you a plugin, but you could use zsh-autosuggestions.

  • fzf

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • Are you saying what you want is to be able to type ls then hit up to search only for previous times you've ran ls ...? Maybe try ctrl+r then start typing the command to search for like ls. Pressing ctrl-r again will go to the next found result. Works even better in conjunction with fzf.

  • zsh-history-substring-search: This is a clean-room implementation of the Fish shell's history search feature, where you can type in any part of any command from history and then press chosen keys, such as the UP and DOWN arrows, to cycle through matches.

  • zsh-autocomplete

    🤖 Real-time type-ahead completion for Zsh. Asynchronous find-as-you-type autocompletion.

  • 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
