About zsh-autosuggestions
zsh-autosuggestions brings Fish-style autosuggestions to Zsh. As you type, it shows the rest of a matching command from your history in faded text, and pressing the right arrow key or a bound key accepts it.
It is fast and unobtrusive, and works with plugin managers such as Oh My Zsh or by sourcing the script directly from your Zsh configuration. Suggestion strategies and the highlight style can be adjusted.

fish
A shell that autosuggests commands from your history, highlights syntax as you type and has tab completions that work without configuration.
