## What it is
A zsh plugin that provides Fish-like autosuggestions, showing command completions inline as you type based on history and completions. Suggestions appear in a muted color and can be accepted fully or partially with configurable key bindings.

## Use cases
- autocomplete commands in zsh as I type
- show suggestions from shell history while typing
- get fish-style autosuggestions in zsh
- accept command suggestions word by word
- speed up typing repetitive shell commands

## When to choose
- you use zsh and want inline command suggestions from history
- you want a lightweight, unobtrusive autocomplete experience like fish
- you want configurable suggestion strategies and highlight styles

## When to avoid
- you use bash or another shell instead of zsh
- you want full menu-based autocomplete rather than inline suggestions
- your zsh version is older than 4.3.11
