How to make zsh completion show the first guess on the same line (like fish's)?

I have implemented a zsh-autosuggestions plugin.

It should integrate nicely with zsh-history-substring-search and zsh-syntax-highlighting which are features ported from fish.

Try:

autoload predict-on
predict-on

See:

info zsh --index-search=predict-on

for details.

Follow the steps here to get other features as well: https://github.com/abhigenie92/zsh_to_fish

1. Install oh-my-zsh

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

2. Clone necessary plugins.

git clone git://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-history-substring-search
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

3. Add plugins to ~/.zshrc as

plugins = ( [plugins...] zsh-autosuggestions zsh-history-substring-search zsh-syntax-highlighting)

Note: make sure zsh-syntax-highlighting is the last one in the above list.

4. Fix background theme issues (Not necessary depends on your theme.) Add the following line to your ~/.zshrc.

ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE='fg=white'

5. Restart zsh

source ~/.zshrc
