+            `ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_STRATEGY` is an array that specifies how suggestions should be generated.
+            The strategies in the array are tried successively until a suggestion is found.
+            There are currently three built-in strategies to choose from:
+
+            - `history`: Chooses the most recent match from history.
+            - `completion`: Chooses a suggestion based on what tab-completion would suggest. (requires `zpty` module)
+            - `match_prev_cmd`: Like `history`, but chooses the most recent match whose preceding history item matches
+                the most recently executed command. Note that this strategy won't work as expected with ZSH options that
+                don't preserve the history order such as `HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS` or `HIST_EXPIRE_DUPS_FIRST`.
