UI
Use material files and copy path and paste in terminal
Got it! You want live, inline auto-suggestions for directories when typing cd, similar to how shells like Zsh with plugins or Fish behave. This kind of feature is not built into Bash by default, but you can achieve it in Termux using the Zsh shell + fzf-tab plugin + zsh-autosuggestions.
Solution: Use Zsh + fzf + autosuggestions
- Install Zsh and fzf
pkg install zsh fzf git
- Install oh-my-zsh (recommended)
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
This will install Zsh and set it as your shell.
- Install Plugins
zsh-autosuggestions
git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions
fzf-tab (for live cd suggestions)
git clone https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/fzf-tab
- Edit .zshrc to enable plugins
Edit ~/.zshrc and set:
plugins=(git fzf-tab zsh-autosuggestions)
Also, add this at the end for better tab completion:
zstyle ':completion:*' fzf-search-display true
- Reload zsh
source ~/.zshrc
- Now Try
Type:
cd tu
You will get live suggestions (like tutorials/) in gray (from history or path), and pressing
Optional: Set Zsh as default shell
chsh -s zsh
Let me know if you prefer to do this without oh-my-zsh, or want the same behavior in Bash (more complex).
