# zsh-autosuggestions
_[Fish](http://fishshell.com/)-like fast/unobtrusive autosuggestions for zsh._
It suggests commands as you type, based on command history.
## Installation
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
```
2. Enable zsh-autosuggestions; copy the following snippet and put it after the zgen config section in your .zshrc file:
```sh
# Enable autosuggestions automatically.
zle-line-init() {
zle autosuggest-start
}
zle -N zle-line-init
```
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
bindkey '^f' vi-forward-word
# or
bindkey '^f' vi-forward-blank-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.
## Configuration
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).
## Known Issues
- `COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS`: setting this to `true` is known to cause problems when attempting to autocomplete with <kbd>TAB</kbd>.

# zsh-autosuggestions
> [Fish](http://fishshell.com/)-like fast/unobtrusive autosuggestions for zsh.
## Installation
```
$ git clone git://github.com/tarruda/zsh-autosuggestions ~/.zsh-autosuggestions
$ bash ~/.zsh-autosuggestions/install
```
If you do not have bash, please run it with sh :
`
sh ~/.zsh-autosuggestions/install
`
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:
```sh
# Accept suggestions without leaving insert mode
bindkey '^f' vi-forward-word
# or
bindkey '^f' vi-forward-blank-word
```
Emacs-mode users can simply use alt+f which is bound to forward-word
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.
- `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`.
