### Enable Asynchronous Mode ### Asynchronous Mode
As of `v0.4.0`, suggestions can be fetched asynchronously. To enable this behavior, set the `ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_USE_ASYNC` variable (it can be set to anything). Suggestions are fetched asynchronously by default in zsh versions 5.0.8 and greater. To disable asynchronous suggestions and fetch them synchronously instead, `unset ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_USE_ASYNC` after sourcing the plugin.
Alternatively, if you are using a version of zsh older than 5.0.8 and want to enable asynchronous mode, set the `ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_USE_ASYNC` variable after sourcing the plugin (it can be set to anything). Note that there is [a bug](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/issues/364#issuecomment-481423232) in versions of zsh older than 5.0.8 where <kbd>ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>c</kbd> will fail to reset the prompt immediately after fetching a suggestion asynchronously.
