What does HackerNews think of zsh-autocomplete?

🤖 Real-time type-ahead completion for Zsh. Asynchronous find-as-you-type autocompletion.

Language: Shell

Actually you can use fish-like autocomplete feature in zsh with this plugin [1]. It works well for years in my machine.

Even if those weren't requirements, sensitive data is rather difficult to hide from your shell/terminal. Warp being closed source doesn't help either.

Edit: A nice alternative based on ZSH's native featureset: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

Fig is macOS-only, proprietary, requires e-mail and has telemetry

Fig relies on free labour to add completions and does not support open-source completion formats

Fig is VC-funded and at some point will have to generate revenue for it’s investors - at your cost

don’t use Fig!

if you have zsh you can use zsh-autocomplete, which is no worse than Fig

edit: this comment was the most popular before HN moderators pinned it down, turns out Fig is YC-sponsored, so i’m not surprised

I use configured zsh which has majority of features mentioned above. It is integrated with fzf and also has autcompletions(with help description), autosuggestions,hints, file completions and more. You can see my zsh dotfiles below.

I could even have enabled real time type ahead completions with this plugin but i haven't (because i don't need this feature) : https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

i use my current configuration on foot terminal (which itself is blazing fast and boasts fastest vtt parser) in linux and kitty terminal (which is very feature rich, even has terminal graphics protocol so that you can even run glxgears(opengl cube demo: https://github.com/michaeljclark/glkitty) on it) on linux and macos.

i am sure that other shells such has fish also have these features.

So, what benefits do i get on switching to warp? currently,i don't see any except few marketing words which aren't enough for me to start using warp.

I might be missing something but i am all ears.

Here's a nice tool for sporadic terminal users like myself: https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

It sometimes has some minor issues but a very responsive maintainer. Also integrates pretty well with other tools/scripts.
