Disable Manjaro terminal autocomplete

I’m new to manjaro, I realized that in the terminal there is autocomplete activated, then I installed tilix but there is also autocomplete there. I would like to know if there is a way to disable it, thanks.

I’m not familar with tilix, but autocomplete is a function of the shell that is run inside the terminal. The default shell is bash. The package is bash-completion. It is sourced at the end of the file /etc/bash.bashrc. Comment the line or uninstall the package as you see fit.

Bash has been the default but these days - depending on your chosen environment - the default shell could be zsh.

Editions which uses zsh as default shell is

  • Gnome
  • Openbox
  • LXDE
  • LXQt

Had no idea. Good to know. Thanks. :slight_smile:

I just figured bash was the default and other shells were user post-install options. That sort of info isn’t documented at distrowatch. I did do a google search, "site:manjaro.org zsh -forum -discover -list, and it doesn’t seem to be documented at Manjaro either.

I see there is a zsh-completion in the repo. It seems to have similar startup files.

If you installed a recent version of GNOME, the default shell is zsh. If that’s the case, your prompt will look something like this:

>>

instead of this:

$ 

If that’s the case, then you’re possibly referring to auto-suggestions provided by zsh-autosuggestions. You can just uninstall that if you don’t want it.

Suggestions appear as you type, completions do not appear unless you press Tab to see them.
