  "github_readme_excerpt": "# zsh-autosuggestions\n\n_[Fish](http://fishshell.com/)-like fast/unobtrusive autosuggestions for zsh._\n\nIt suggests commands as you type based on history and completions.\n\nRequirements: Zsh v4.3.11 or later\n\n[![Chat on Gitter](https://img.shields.io/gitter/room/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.svg)](https://gitter.im/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions)\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://asciinema.org/a/37390\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://asciinema.org/a/37390.png\" width=\"400\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\n## Installation\n\nSee [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).\n\n\n## Usage\n\nAs you type commands, you will see a completion offered after the cursor in a muted gray color. This color can be changed by setting the `ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE` variable. See [configuration](#configuration).\n\nIf you press the \u003ckbd\u003e\u2192\u003c/kbd\u003e key (`forward-char` widget) or \u003ckbd\u003eEnd\u003c/kbd\u003e (`end-of-line` widget) with the cursor at the end of the buffer, it will accept the suggestion, replacing the contents of the command line buffer with the suggestion.\n\nIf you invoke the `forward-word` widget, it will partially accept the suggestion up to the point that the cursor moves to.\n\n\n## Configuration\n\nYou may want to override the default global config variables. Default values of these variables can be found [here](src/config.zsh).\n\n**Note:** If you are using Oh My Zsh, you can put this configuration in a file in the `$ZSH_CUSTOM` directory. See their comments on [overriding internals](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Customization#overriding-internals).\n\n\n### Suggestion Highlight Style\n\nSet `ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE` to configure the style that the suggestion is shown with. The default is `fg=8`, which will set the foreground color to color 8 from the [256-color palette](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Xterm_256color_chart.svg). If your terminal only supports 8 colors, you will need to use a number between 0 and 7.\n\nBackground color can also be set, and the suggestion can be styled bold, underlined, or standou",

  "why_use_this": "Dramatically speeds up command-line workflows by suggesting frequent or recent commands while you type, with suggestions appearing unobtrusively in muted text. Unlike traditional tab-completion, it works passively and you accept suggestions with arrow keys or End key. Essential for zsh power users who want Fish shell\u0027s UX without switching shells."
