#Iterm autocomplete plugin free

We render it using a WKWebView (not Electron).įig is free for individuals and always will be. We built our UI using web technologies so we can ultimately go cross platform. We are built natively for macOS in swift. We also integrate with the shell to determine the current process and working directory. We use the Accessibility API on Mac to insert text on your behalf and read what you've typed.

You could also type `cd` when SSH'd into a remote machine and Fig will list the folders within your current directory on the remote machine. For example, you can type `npm run` and Fig will show you the scripts available in your package.json. As you type, Fig pops up subcommands, options, and contextually relevant arguments in your existing terminal. To solve this, we add a UI overlay that is linked with the interactive shell. And even seasoned developers can screw up their system with a few unfortunate keystrokes. No hints about the 'right way' of using a tool or even finding the right tool for the job. It emulates the constraints of hardware (like teletype printers and video terminals) that became obsolete a generation ago. The terminal is powerful, but unforgiving. We wanted our CLI tools to be more discoverable. We built Fig because of our own struggles in the terminal: we were tired of context switching between man pages, Stack Overflow posts, and Medium tutorials anytime we got stuck. Fig adds VSCode-style autocomplete to your existing terminal. Hi HN! We’re Matt and Brendan, co-founders of Fig ( ).
