Again ! It has never been so uncomplicated. Congratulations to you, n1snt

great!!

This is just amazing!!

When I go to my previous command by pressing the up arrow key, a semicolon is added to the end of the line. Does anyone know why this happens, or how to disable it?

+1 for the semicolon ; being appended when using the up arrow key.

Thanks!

@jacob-fm @PhilipLutley Zsh Autocomplete does that so that you can press Ctrl-Space to insert multiple history lines. It goes away automatically when you type something.

@marlonrichert is there an easy way to disable that?

Bravo

Words cannot describe my gratitude!!!

great write up and plugin combination, thanks!

I asked AI to write a script for me to do the tricks above. :) It works well in my environment.

#!/bin/bash

# install ZSH and related packages
echo "Installing ZSH and related packages..."
sudo apt install zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh -y

# Install Oh My ZSH
echo "Installing Oh My ZSH..."
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)" "" --unattended

# Install plugins
echo "Installing ZSH plugins..."

# autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

# syntax-highlighting
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

# fast-syntax-highlighting
git clone https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/fast-syntax-highlighting

# autocomplete
git clone --depth 1 -- https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autocomplete

# Change .zshrc file
echo "Configuring .zshrc..."
sed -i 's/plugins=(git)/plugins=(git zsh-autosuggestions zsh-syntax-highlighting fast-syntax-highlighting zsh-autocomplete)/' ~/.zshrc

# switch to zsh as default shell
echo "Changing default shell to ZSH..."
chsh -s $(which zsh)

echo "Installation completed! Please restart your terminal or run 'source ~/.zshrc' to apply changes."

@jacob-fm

is there an easy way to disable that?

Not at the moment, but feel free to submit a pull request. It's not hard to implement. You'll need to change only a small part of the code

I should have listened to "Do we want to mix all of those? Aren't some of them competing?"... zsh-autocomplete won't play ball with fast-syntax-highlighting. Many thanks for the gist.

Thanks for your help!
