This plugin provides a few widgets that you can use with `bindkey`:
This plugin adds a few [zle widgets](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html#Zle-Widgets):

6. `autosuggest-enable`: Re-enables suggestions.
7. `autosuggest-toggle`: Toggles between enabled/disabled suggestions.
For example, this would bind <kbd>ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>space</kbd> to accept the current suggestion.
You can bind any of these widgets to a keyboard shortcut with [`bindkey`](https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html#Zle-Builtins). For example, the following command would bind <kbd>ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>space</kbd> to accept the current suggestion.
```sh
bindkey '^ ' autosuggest-accept
```
You can also call any of them directly with `zle`. For example, the following command would accept the current suggestion (for an explanation of `ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_IGNORE_WIDGETS` see [Widget mapping](#widget-mapping), above).
```sh
my_widget() {
zle autosuggest-accept
}
typeset -ga ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_IGNORE_WIDGETS
ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_IGNORE_WIDGETS+=( my_widget )
zle -N my_widget
```
