  • Fish-like suggestions from command history
  • Fast and unobtrusive
  • Works with common Zsh plugin managers
  • Configurable strategies and highlight style
  • Autosuggestions from history appear as you type with no plugins
  • Syntax highlighting shows an invalid command before you run it
  • Tab completions generated from man pages, so they cover real options
  • Works well with no configuration file at all
  • Zsh only
  • Suggestions come from history, so they are only as good as what you have typed before
  • Not POSIX-compatible, so bash snippets and scripts often need changing
  • No official Windows build
  • A smaller plugin ecosystem than zsh
  • Minimum supported macOS version is 10.12
