iTerm is a great program and I love it.

If there is one thing I could add to it, I really would like "IDE style autocomplete", like fig promised, and I guess that warp terminal or whatever it's called.

Right now when I press "CMD+;" it pops up an autocomplete style box, I would just like to have pretty much that but always on, and filled with suggestions for the command being typed, like an IDE or code editor with a language server.

I know I'd get a lot more use out of that than any kind of AI feature – but in the end it's a free tool and has served me well, I don't want to complain about it, I would recommend it to anyone.




I'm using the zsh-autosuggestion plugin (so not a feature of the terminal but of the shell):

Me too! It's alright, but as I said I really would like it to be IDE-style, with multiple suggestions in a box that I can see all at once and flip through.

There is this: https://github.com/microsoft/inshellisense?tab=readme-ov-fil...

But it doesn't look really "seamless" to me yet, though admittedly I did not give it a proper try.
