This is a time saver so useful

It's a time saver. Thanks

btw, I got error during clone repo.

他们不能正常工作！ 我的终端随机崩溃，我不知道为什么 我猜 zsh-autocomplete 与其他终端冲突， 特别是当我按下上一个命令的向上箭头时，有时整个终端崩溃， 我不确切知道，但问题可能来自快速语法突出显示

follow these steps:

1. `cd $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autocomplete`

2. `git pull --tags`

3. `git reset --hard 23.05.24`

This is a bug of zsh-autocomplete, see issue marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete#645 and do not use the main/HEAD until a fix.

This is gold, thanks!

Thank Yooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

It's never been so uncomplicated. Congratulations to you, n1snt

Thanks for you hard work on this.

I love it so much

thanks for the gist

Thank you

• [new tag] 23.05.24 -> 23.05.24

That's all. It's fixed.

If I may have everyone's attention, I'm looking for a way to have aliases being suggested to me while I'm typing a full command.

And maybe even vice versa, so that you don't lose track of the command hidden behind the alias.

Did you happen to find a solution for this?

Nishant: great tip by the way. I love it!

Unfortunately no. Your idea of a preview of the alias expansion sounds good as well.

I have been thinking of heading down the rabbit hole of writing my own ZSH plugin. I have tried looking into how zsh-autosuggestions works, but the ZSH code looks to me like dark magic.

Thanks for writing it down.

My friend turned me onto zsh & omz recently, love this write up thank you!

If I may have everyone's attention, I'm looking for a way to have aliases being suggested to me while I'm typing a full command. Does anyone know a way to do this? So far I have only found omz plugins alias-tips and alias-finder, but those only show the alias tips after the command has been executed, which usually goes off screen with the command's output and requires scrolling back to see them.

e.g.

 ↳  git
Alias tips:
g=git
ga='git add'
gb='git branch'
gc='git commit --verbose'
gd='git diff'
gf='git fetch'
gg='git gui citool'
gl='git pull'
gm='git merge'
gp='git push'
gr='git remote'

I'm not sure that you want g for git... ;)

I agree with you. That alias is part of the Oh-My-Zsh plugin. If I typed ‘git’ and I saw ‘g’ as a proposed alias I would likely delete it right away.

Anyway, it looks like I’ll have to develop the feature I want by myself. That’s part of the beauty of it, right?

101%! Open sauce, hot dog! Out of interest, are you working on a port, or customisation for your own needs? Either way, I highly recommend checking out; starship.rs = best wishes! :)

Do we want to mix all of those? Aren't some of them competing?

or complimenting?

@mrhassell I do not know, that's why I'm asking 🙂 I'm all for them complimenting each other.

this is so amazing

in the end of .zshrc add these lines to stop zsh-autocomplete from overriding <- and -> keys to make the menu cursor move

bindkey -M menuselect "^[OD"   .backward-char # ←
bindkey -M menuselect "^[OC"    .forward-char # →
bindkey -M menuselect "^[b"    .backward-word # ⌥ + ←
bindkey -M menuselect "^[f"     .forward-word # ⌥ + →
bindkey -M menuselect "^A" .beginning-of-line # ⌘ + ←
bindkey -M menuselect "^E"       .end-of-line # ⌘ + →

now it will move inside the command itself, hope this helps!

Thank you so much for your help.

This is the most useful gist I've seen in a while! Ty!

For what use both plugins zsh-syntax-highlighting and fast-syntax-highlighting instead one of them?

Woww thanks

Thanks <3

Thank you for the write-up and easy to install commands, I have installed this on all my linux machines and each time it's cut-and-dry copy-and-paste commands, thank you!

I find fzf-tab to be better than zsh-autocomplete. You can't use both as it collides.

refer to this gist if you wanna use fzf for autocomplete
