Autosuggestion for abbreviations about zsh-abbr

[olets]

Hi thanks for the issue! It's different from #20 — what you want is sort of the opposite of what that user wanted.

zsh-autosuggestions suggests history items and commands. By definition abbreviations aren't commands, so that's out. You could add them to your history:

1. Use the history or match_prev_cmd strategy (see https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions#suggestion-strategy)
2. Add to the history:
   • either: disable zsh-abbr, reload the terminal, run each abbreviation as a command, then enable zsh-abbr and reload the terminal
   • or: make sure you have a history file (echo $HISTFILE. if there isn't one, add [ -z "$HISTFILE" ] && HISTFILE="~/.zsh_history" to your .zshrc (use any path you like, but know that ~/.zsh_history is a standard choice)), then add your abbreviations to it:

     abbr list-abbreviations -U >> $HISTFILE
     

But that's not a real solution, because as you run other commands the abbreviation history entries could be deprioritized.

What you really need is for zsh-autosuggestions to support passing in a custom list of terms which would match before anything else. Pretty niche need but you could request the feature over at zsh-autosuggestions.

Closing because the change currently necessary is not to zsh-abbr, but do please let me know if you get this working!
