Easy Complete

Zed terminal autocomplete

Completions in the Zed terminal panel.

Zed's integrated terminal is a real terminal emulator, so Easy Complete treats it like one: shell hooks for the edit buffer, and the bundled input method for the caret.

Set it up

Install Easy Complete and approve Accessibility, then quit the terminal completely — macOS loads input methods when a process starts, so a reopened window is not enough.

ec doctor reports the shell hook and the input method separately, so it tells you which half is missing.

exec $SHELL
ec doctor

The panel is one terminal among many

Each terminal tab in the panel runs its own shell. A tab restored from a previous session — before Easy Complete was launched — will not have the integration loaded.

Open a new terminal tab, or reload the shell in the existing one.

exec $SHELL

If the popup follows the editor instead of the panel

Cursor tracking is per-window. Re-register the input method and restart Zed so it picks up the caret from the terminal panel again.
