How to set tab for zsh autocompletion?

Question

I want to set tab for zsh autocomplition plugin. There is related part of config:

# Widgets that accept the entire suggestion
(( ! ${+ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_ACCEPT_WIDGETS} )) && {
        typeset -ga ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_ACCEPT_WIDGETS
        ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_ACCEPT_WIDGETS=(
                forward-char
                end-of-line
                tab-char //my line
                vi-forward-char
                vi-end-of-line
                vi-add-eol
        )
}

What is the convention for char names used? How does tab named?

Answer 1

You will have to put

bindkey '       ' autosuggest-accept

into your .zshrc file. Notice that the space between the apostrophe is one keystroke of the tab-character. This works similarly with every other character or character combination. If you for example wanted to put a combination of the ctrl+space keys to trigger the acception, you'd append

bindkey '^ ' autosuggest-accept

to the file.

Here's a link to the Configuration-file, where this is explained: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions#key-bindings

Answer 2

For all of you that are struggling with the accepted answer, I got it to work doing the following:

bindkey '^I' autosuggest-accept

...where '^I' is tab.

Answer 3

this seems to work as expected in your ~/.zshrc:

bindkey '\t' autosuggest-accept
