How to highlight selection with tab?

[ChillarAnand]

When cycling through completions, using down arrow highlights the selection. But tab doesn't highlight.

With down arrow.

With tab.

How to highlight with tab as well?

By default, Tab simply inserts the top completion. It does not enter the menu

To change this, add to your .zshrc file, but change the last word to menu-select:

zsh-autocomplete/.zshrc

Line 61 in f07efda

zstyle ':autocomplete:*' widget-style complete-word

Documentation can be found in the file above.

I am using zsh plugins to include autocomplete in plugins list. I have added that line above/below plugins list. But it doesn't seem to work. @marlonrichert

Can you show me your .zshrc file?

[ChillarAnand]

.zshrc file is available here. https://github.com/ChillarAnand/init/blob/main/zshrc.sh

You are overriding it on this line:

Oh, and my bad: You don't have to put it before sourcing Autocomplete. It also works after. It just doesn't work at runtime.
