Zsh offers a robust command-line completion system, superior to other shells like Bash. It provides context-sensitive completions, meaning it suggests relevant commands based on the current input. For instance, typing ‘git’ followed by TAB will list git-specific commands.
Unlike others, Zsh also supports partial pattern matching. If you type ‘rm *fi’, then press TAB, it’ll complete with filenames ending in ‘fi’. This feature is absent in Bash and most other shells.
Another unique aspect of Zsh’s completion system is its menu selection. After pressing TAB, you can navigate through suggestions using arrow keys, making it more user-friendly.
To enable these features, add ‘autoload -Uz compinit && compinit’ in your .zshrc file. This loads the completion system every time Zsh starts.
