If you don’t have installed bash completion, I really recommend you to install it.

Hi Alexander,
Thank you, I could easily set up the zsh highlighting. Would you mind doing another tutorial on zsh autojump and auto suggestions? Because I tried to set them up with differents tutorial, but it was unsuccessful.
Thanks,
Thank you Ramakers for your comment and I am very glad that my experience was useful for you. Could you please maybe give me more input about your wish? Because In the end of the article you can find – BONUS “Bash completion” – and it is about what you mean. It is very easy, only one command to install it and it will work.
