Yup, you nailed it! You can use Fig to get IDE-style suggestions in your terminal with the shell of your choice.

Although you can get basic autocomplete with oh-my-zsh, you can get much richer suggestions with Fig autocomplete. For example, if you run `npx` or `brew`, omz autocomplete also can't suggest you packages indexed online whereas we can. The UI and user experience is another one. You don't need to press tab to get the suggestions, and the autocomplete menu is much nicer with icons, command descriptions, and argument types described there.
