Autosuggestions

How to access it

• From the Command Palette, type in “Autosuggestions” to toggle.

Note

Terminal Tip

You can change the keybinding for accepting autosuggestions to Tab. Configure this in the “Tab key behavior” setting under Settings > Features > Terminal Input. Note: This will update the keybinding for opening the completions menu to Ctrl+Space. You can also enable the “Open completions menu as you type” in Settings > Features > Terminal Input so that the completions menu opens automatically.
