Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as zsh-autosuggestions.
fish
A shell that autosuggests commands from your history, highlights syntax as you type and has tab completions that work without configuration.
fish builds history-based autosuggestions into the shell itself with no plugins, but switching means leaving Zsh for a shell that is not POSIX-compatible.
ble.sh
A line editor written in pure Bash that adds syntax highlighting, autosuggestions and vim modes.
ble.sh brings autosuggestions, syntax highlighting and vim modes to Bash in pure Bash code, so it suits Bash users rather than Zsh.
