1. zsh-autosuggestions

   1 145 33,140 4.4 Shell

   Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh

   

   This is not intuitive, or efficient, so our first task is fix that using zsh-autosuggestions. zsh-autosuggestions will provide autocomplete suggestions from your history (and other locations) as you type, simply press the right arrow key, or use the end-of-line keyboard shortcut (e.g. ctrl+e) to accept the suggestion. If you only want part of a suggestion, you can use the forward-word keyboard shortcut, which is option+right arrow or alt+right arrow which will complete only up to the end of the next word and continue providing suggestions from there.

3. starship

   2 310 49,192 9.7 Rust

   ☄🌌️ The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!

   

   Thankfully, I found Starship, a super fast, super configurable prompt written in Rust. It works with most shells, on most operating systems.

4. zsh-history-substring-search

   3 16 2,806 3.8 Shell

   🐠 ZSH port of Fish history search (up arrow)

   

   This works great if you can remember the exact start of the previous command you want to use, but what if you only remember part of it? Enter zsh-history-substring-search. This script allows you to navigate your history using substring matches, and you can bind it to your up and down arrow keys so that you can simply type the substring and then hit the up key to start finding matches.

5. zsh-syntax-highlighting

   4 77 21,251 2.8 Shell

   Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh.

   

   Lastly, let’s make what commands we’re running easier to read, using zsh-syntax-highlighting. This script (which must be loaded before the zsh-history-substring-search above) will provide syntax highlighting of commands as you write them. This will help you avoid typos for incorrect commands, and make complex commands easier to read.
