How this works in ZSH?

[sergiorgiraldo]

I followed the procedures for manual installation:

1. cloned the repo
2. sourced zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh near top of my .zshrc
3. removed the lines with compinit and bashcompinit

I do see the suggestions but I see these issues:

• I cant use TAB to navigate the suggestions only SHIFT-TAB
• I cant use up and down arrows to got through history

Is it the expected behaviour (i dont think so :))?

Any hints?

Environment

% typeset -p1 VENDOR OSTYPE ZSH_PATCHLEVEL _autocomplete__funcfiletrace
typeset VENDOR=apple
typeset OSTYPE=darwin24.0
typeset ZSH_PATCHLEVEL=zsh-5.9-0-g73d3173
typeset -a _autocomplete__funcfiletrace=(
  /Users/S/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autocomplete/zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh:4
  /Users/S/.zshrc:10
  zsh:0
)

• Operating system: MacOS Sequoia 15.3
• Terminal emulator: iTerm2 + Zellij

No, that's not expected behavior. I can't help you fix it, though, unless you provide more info about what's in your .zshrc file.
