Autocomplete for Zsh
This plugin for Zsh adds real-time type-ahead autocompletion to your command line, similar to what you find desktop apps. While you type on the command line, available completions are listed automatically; no need to press any keyboard shortcuts. Press Tab to insert the top completion or ↓ to select a different one.
Additional features:
- Out-of-the-box configuration of Zsh's completion system
- Multi-line history search
- Completion of recent directories
- Useful keyboard shortcuts
- Easy to configure
