Amazon Q inline Limitations
Currently, inline is only supported in zsh on macOS, and on Linux via the SSH integration.
The inline feature is known to conflict with some popular shell extensions, including zsh-autosuggestions. If you have zsh-autosuggestions installed, you must disable it to use Amazon Q inline in the command line.
