zsh-autosuggestion, for those not prepared to switch to fish.

I've used that before, it's really not as good as fish.

Fish is not fully POSIX compliant

set -o vi does 99% of what I need it to do

Edit-and-execute/fc. If you don't know them, spend an hour to read about them.

Ill do this when i get home

I came to the comments to avoid watching the video, learned something amazing about bash instead 😁

What are tha advantages of this over set -o vi?

Setting it up in .inputrc allows more flexibility and configuration. Plus, it's shared by any other app that uses Readline for the prompt.
