MacOS Terminal autocompletion suggestion

macosterminal

I'm looking at a video and the Terminal in WebStorm looks like this

As you can see there is an autocompletion suggestion while he's writing the command. Any clue on how to get this feature?

Here's the video: Creating Demo APIs with json-server

To clarify: You see the red part is what the user typed and the gray is the suggestion. I would like to have the suggestion.

You can use the zsh shell with the zsh-autosuggestions plugin.

Considerations

For the partition, in its entirety, at the server you grant read and write privileges to everyone:

may be comparable to guest access, which does not require authentication.

Consider the following possibilities:

some communication, or attempted communication, by Windows 7 may be anonymous, without authentication (whether/how such communications would be logged by the server in a non-Server build of the OS, I don't know)
writes, or attempted writes, by Windows 7 are inappropriate for something at/around the root of the partition.

Suggestions

Increase the verbosity of logging for SMB

This may be easier to achieve with a Server build of the OS.

Diagnosis at the server when the client perceives a problem

Enable the stackshot daemon then use the key chord for sysdiagnose

Preparation: enable the daemon

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.stackshot.plist

When the problem occurs: use the key chord for sysdiagnose.

For at least ten seconds after the chord, touch nothing.

After Finder brings to front the result of sysdiagnose: decompress the archive, consider the files that comprise the diagnosis.

MacOS – Fast user switching affects color profile

Thanks for this very detailed post. I have the same issue, and only a workaround, not a solution.

Workaround consists in going into monitor prefs, change screen resolution to a lower res, then get back to "optimal screen res", and then you original color profile is available for selection.

A bit tedious, but once done, I can fast-switch back and forth and the color setting will remain intact (until I leave either session).

Hope this helps.
