  • zsh-autocomplete

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

  • zsh-autocomplete can provide real-time auto-completion but I still need some other plugin to enable sorting and fuzzy-match.

  • fzf-tab

    Replace zsh's default completion selection menu with fzf!

  • fzf-tab can do fuzzy search on completions by replacing the default selection menu with fzf, but I don't know how to make it show as I type, without having to trigger manually by hitting .

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • zsh-autosuggestions

    Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh

  • You could set zstyle file-sort option to modification I believe for file sort by last modified. But I think what you really want is https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions, which is fish-style history + autosuggest.
