ZSH History file length maxium uplift

Set the history size of your file to be larger than the default 50k lines/

Find the history section in your ~/.zshrc file and add teh HISTSIZE and SAVEHIST values as below.

HISTSIZE=1000000
SAVEHIST=$HISTSIZE

ZSH editor defaults

Sick of having to remember the :q! command to get out of vim? change your default editor!

# Preferred editor for local and remote sessions
if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then
  # If we're in an SSH session, use nano
  export EDITOR='nano'
else
  # If we're not in an SSH session, use code
  export EDITOR='code --wait'
fi

When ready

Reopen your terminal, now you should be able to use the auto suggestions and syntax highlighting.
