which oh-my-zsh plugins do you use that can do this? Is there an all-encompassing one or do you need to download tons of different ones like a docker plugin, git plugin, etc
I’ve been using grml’s zsh config [1] for years. It’s one file, I’ve never installed a single plugin, and it’s been doing a lot. Couple of examples:
- When I auto-complete a path, the shell prints all options and I can navigate between them with either tab or arrow keys
- For many tools, like git, auto-completion shows an annotated list of possible options/subcommands (and again, you can navigate them with tab or arrow keys)
- If I type something like chmod 644 and then start auto-completing the filename, the suggestions exclude every file that is already 644.
Also, there is a format to add auto-complete information for more tools. I’ve never actively used it, though, and I don’t know if it’s been adopted by any other shell/tool. I don’t even know if it’s specific to zsh or to grml’s config or to something else entirely. It has just stayed out of my way, while greatly facilitating my shell usage.
As a last point, none of these examples have been added recently. They have all been there for years.
This is not to pick on fig, but rather to show what zsh has been doing all along (and I suppose other shells like fish, too, but I’ve never tried).
