I wish the same autocompletion could be achieved in ZSH. Then I wouldn't start this project at all. The problem with ZSH is that you have to

* Make a decision you want completion.

* Press tab for it to appear.

* Guess when your token is precise enough to be unambiguous or else cycle through results.

Not to mention fuzzy search.

It may sound as not that much of an overhead, but it's so much slower than what I have in, say, Intellij IDEA.

Shouldn't be too hard to modify it to display completion data instead of entries from your history.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. Although, it seems to only show a single best match, unlike IntelliSense.
If you want to show all possible completions that's even easier: https://github.com/hchbaw/auto-fu.zsh

I prefer the other plugin though because it's less obtrusive.
