Do you use any ZSH plugins?

My plugin selection is rather slim. I use zplug instead of Oh My Zsh’s built-in plugin system. Here’s my current setup:

zshplugins via zplug:

- vi-mode (from oh-my-zsh)
- wbase.zsh + git-prompt.zsh (woefe’s git prompt)
- zsh-autosuggestions
- zsh-completions
- zsh-history-substring-search
- zsh-syntax-highlighting

The ones I use most:

• zsh-autosuggestions - suggests commands as you type based on history
• zsh-syntax-highlighting - highlights commands in real-time to catch typos
• zsh-history-substring-search - searches history with partial matches (I have it bound to up/down arrows)
• git-prompt.zsh - shows git status in the prompt

I use the elixir and git plugins a lot. I love the gwip and gunwip aliases. My zsh theme works with them so I can see when I switch to a branch that has a WIP commit. I find it much better than git stash.

Using:

ZSH_THEME="agnoster"
[...]
FZF_BASE="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/fzf/0.54.3/"
[...]
plugins=(git fzf zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions)
[...]
# zsh VIM
source $(brew --prefix)/opt/zsh-vi-mode/share/zsh-vi-mode/zsh-vi-mode.plugin.zs

I used to have a bunch more, but found that too many slows down startup/break stuff.

Zsh autocomple, zsh Syntax Highlight, fzf-tab, and p10k.

I think this really is about it.

Same, plus oh-my-zsh and a few of its plugins. And it already feels like too much.

zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
zsh-users/zsh-completions
Aloxaf/fzf-tab
mrjohannchang/zsh-interactive-cd
goarano/zsh-fzf-packagemanager

ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh path:plugins/per-directory-history

Using antidote (https://antidote.sh/) to manage them.

My favorite is the autosuggestion one (GitHub - zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions: Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh · GitHub) – fish has similar builtin which I immediately wanted after trying fish once..

I used to use omz as well, though eventually it felt as if most add-ons just were some curated and opinionated aliases I didn’t use anyway, so I removed it, and managed my aliases manually from then on.
