I would like to disable the autocomplete things that come up on the iTerm, as shown in the picture below:

enter image description here

I would like to get rid of the blue hint that comes up when I start typing a command similar to the one that was previously executed.

    I passed by this so many times trying to find out how to do this – theflowersoftime Dec 10 '16 at 02:02

    This would be a useful feature if I could use [Tab] to get through the suggestions, rather than [Tab] causing a bell and having to use [Enter] to go through the selections. And to have it not be configurable? terrible. They did everything else so well, too! – Metagrapher Jan 04 '17 at 23:21

    Thank you, this was driving me crazy. I was making multiple changes to my iTerm2, and I initially thought it was zsh and oh-my-zsh triggering this. Lesson learned :) – danyim Jan 30 '17 at 01:29

    I think I went through every option in preferences to find this haha. Thank you :) – Matthew Cawley Aug 05 '17 at 23:24

    Thanks, i wish there was an option to delay it so I could keep it, or at least make it optional when it's suggesting me – JacopKane Jan 27 '19 at 22:10

    Thanks for posting. It's been annoying me for a while. It has some use, but I think it should be designed in such a way so that it doesn't interfere with what you're doing. I want to press enter and run my command instead of accidentally triggering a previous command. It also should be smart enough to do predictions perhaps or something that's actually somewhat useful.. – Leo Ufimtsev Jun 06 '19 at 14:44
  • It's so weird, this option is greyed out for me. Anybody got any clue? I searched for hours. – Setup Feb 01 '21 at 12:52
