Is awesome, I'm trying to let this fixed, like autocomplete, every time that I type something.

You can use oh-my-zsh with the fzf plugin, here's what mine looks like, link: https://github.com/2kabhishek/Dotfiles

Very nice

I would add Ctrl+p Previous command

FWIW, Shift+G will return you to the bottom of the shell output. Especially helpful in server logs, in my case, rails server

I'd like to add how to get to the previous COMMAND .
Sure,
Ctrl+a takes me to the beginning of the line,
Ctrl+p takes me to the previous line,
but having a 100 line long command, none of the above helps me much in getting to the previous command easily.
It seems like:
ESC+< goes back to the actual beginning of the command buffer for zsh (or the first line of history if already at start of command), and ESC+> likewise goes to the end.
So to get to the previous command in a 100-line command case, use ESC+<, Ctrl+p instead of 100 x Ctrl+p
Feel free to verify that the same holds true for bash, anyone. :)
