_[Fish](http://fishshell.com/)-like fast/unobtrusive autosuggestions for zsh._
It suggests commands as you type, based on command history.
## Installation
```
$ git clone git://github.com/tarruda/zsh-autosuggestions ~/.zsh-autosuggestions
$ bash ~/.zsh-autosuggestions/install
If you already use [zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting) plugin, then make sure to be loaded **before** zsh-autosuggestions.
Note: _.zshrc_ is a file that contains user-specific ZSH configuration.
ZSH assumes this file in your home directory (i.e. `~/.zshrc`), but the location can be changed using `ZDOTDIR` variable.
### Using zgen
[Zgen](https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen) is a simple and fast plugin manager for ZSH.
If you dont use zgen, then use instructions for the manual installation.
1. Load `tarruda/zsh-autosuggestions` and `jimmijj/zsh-syntax-highlighting` using zgen in your .zshrc file, for example:
```sh
if ! zgen saved; then
echo "Creating a zgen save"
zgen load jimmijj/zsh-syntax-highlighting
# autosuggestions should be loaded last
zgen load tarruda/zsh-autosuggestions
zgen save
fi
```
If you do not have bash, please run it with sh :
2. Enable zsh-autosuggestions; copy the following snippet and put it after the zgen config section in your .zshrc file:
`
sh ~/.zsh-autosuggestions/install
`
```sh
# Enable autosuggestions automatically.
zle-line-init() {
zle autosuggest-start
}
zle -N zle-line-init
```
Any widget that moves the cursor to the right(forward-word, forward-char...)
will accept parts of the suggested text. For example, vi-mode users can do
this:
3. Run `zgen reset` and reopen your terminal.
### Manually
1. Clone this repository to `~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions` (or anywhere else):
```sh
git clone git://github.com/tarruda/zsh-autosuggestions ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions
```
2. Clone zsh-syntax-highlighting repository to `~/.zsh/zsh-syntax-highlighting` (or anywhere else):
```sh
git clone git://github.com/jimmijj/zsh-syntax-highlighting ~/.zsh/zsh-syntax-highlighting
```
3. Load and enable autosuggestions; copy the following snippet and put it to your .zshrc file:
```sh
# Load zsh-syntax-highlighting.
source ~/.zsh/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh
# Load zsh-autosuggestions.
source ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions/autosuggestions.zsh
# Enable autosuggestions automatically.
zle-line-init() {
zle autosuggest-start
}
zle -N zle-line-init
```
4. Reopen your terminal.
## Uninstallation
Just remove the config lines from .zshrc that youve added during “installation.”
If you dont use zgen, then also delete `~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions` and `~/.zsh/zsh-syntax-highlighting`.
## How to use
As you type commands, you will see a completion offered after the cursor, in a muted gray color (which can be changed, see [Configuration](#configuration)).
To accept the autosuggestion (replacing the command line contents), hit <kbd>End</kbd>, <kbd>Alt+F</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl+F</kbd>, or any other key that moves the cursor to the right.
If the autosuggestion is not what you want, just ignore it: it wont execute unless you accept it.
Any widget that moves the cursor to the right (forward-word, forward-char, end-of-line…) will accept parts of the suggested text.
For example, vi-mode users can do this:
```sh
# Accept suggestions without leaving insert mode
@ -25,19 +100,37 @@ bindkey '^f' vi-forward-word
bindkey '^f' vi-forward-blank-word
```
Emacs-mode users can simply use alt+f which is bound to forward-word
You can also use right arrow key to accept the suggested text as in Fish shell; see [Configuration](#configuration) section to enable it.
### Exposed widgets
This plugin defines some ZLE widgets (think about them as functions) which you can bind to some key using [bindkey](http://zshwiki.org/home/zle/bindkeys).
For example, to toggle autosuggestions using <kbd>Ctrl+T</kbd> add this to your .zshrc:
```sh
bindkey '^T' autosuggest-toggle
```
List of widgets:
- `autosuggest-toggle` disable/enable autosuggestions.
The [zsh-history-substring-search](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search)
plugin is also recommended.
## Configuration
You may override default global config variables after plugin load.
You may override default global config variables after plugin load, i.e. put it to your .zshrc after the code that loads plugins.
- `AUTOSUGGESTION_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR` suggestion highlight color, default is `'fg=8'`.
- `AUTOSUGGESTION_HIGHLIGHT_CURSOR` highlight word after cursor, or not. Must be integer value `1` or `0`, default is `1`.
- `AUTOSUGGESTION_ACCEPT_RIGHT_ARROW` complete entire suggestion with right arrow. Must be integer value `1` or `0`, default is `0` (right arrow completes one letter at a time).
- `AUTOSUGGESTION_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR`: suggestion highlight color, default is `'fg=8'`.
- `AUTOSUGGESTION_HIGHLIGHT_CURSOR`: highlight word after cursor or not. Must be integer value `1` or `0`, default is `1`.
- `AUTOSUGGESTION_ACCEPT_RIGHT_ARROW`: complete entire suggestion with right arrow. Must be integer value `1` or `0`, default is `0` (right arrow completes one letter at a time).
## Known Issues
- `COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS`: setting this to `true` is known to cause problems when attempting to autocomplete with <kbd>TAB</kbd>
- `COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS`: setting this to `true` is known to cause problems when attempting to autocomplete with <kbd>TAB</kbd>.
