Hi guys, I am using zsh or oh my zsh as my terminal. when I type some command, it suggests a similar command from history. I know It’s trying to help me, but is there a way to disable it?
maybe just suggests when I press the tab or something? I’m getting annoyed by this : (
tried removing zsh-autosuggestions from plugins in .zshrc but that didn’t help.
btw I’m using the powerlevel10k theme Idk If that matters.
Thats one of the main ‘benefits’ of zsh … maybe you would like to just use bash instead ?
( I fully support this position 
)
You have several options:
Just enter the command you don’t want to keep in history with a leading space
Clean your ZSH history from time to time
printf "" > $HISTFILE
printf "" > $HISTFILE
echo "function zshaddhistory() { return 1 }" >> ~/.zshrc
When you press TAB it will show autocomplete.
Suggestions and autocomplete are two different things…
You can set ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HISTORY_IGNORE=* in ~/.zshrc file to skip all suggestions from history file. If you have more specific options see GitHub - zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions: Fish-like autosuggestions for zsh
Hello,
If you tried this and restarted the shell exec zsh and you still getting auto-suggestions, then maybe the plugin is called from elsewhere. Check the powerlvl10k ~/.p10k.zsh or look in /etc if there is zshrc or zprofile… you get the point 
.
Idk…if this will help, since I don’t use manjaro’s zsh config and powerlvl10k, but its worth a try
Cheers…
The solution depends on if you will continue to use zsh or switch to bash
Switching to bash
sudo pacman -S bash-completion --needed
Then switch your shell
chsh -s /bin/bash
I note you refer to oh-my-zsh - and suggestions from history is set in in the plugins section of the .zshrc used by oh-my-zsh.
Your issue could be caused by mixing oh-my-zsh and manjaro-zsh-config
