The auto suggestion from Fish shell is something I cannot live without anymore. Saves me so much time and avoiding typos. Not sure if zsh can do the same, maybe with a plugin ? If so, I’d like to hear about it. I use zsh for a few things, besides bash and fish to keep their history apart.
There IS a plugin for zsh that does exactly that and I’ve been using it without issue for a few months now!

Thanks. Got it installed, and works after reading the Debian README :
Installation
Add the following to your
.zshrc
:source /usr/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
then start a new terminal session.
Tips
- To mimic fish’s auto-completion by pressing Ctrl+F
bindkey '^F' autosuggest-accept
