It would be very nice to have some way of integrating this into OhMyZSH as a plugin. OMZ can already do extraction of command line arguments by tab completion (and it will attempt to make a brief description of what the flag does) [0][1].

It might be nice to be able to type "tldr compress a folder into a tarball" and click tab to have a set of templates suggested to you. You can navigate to them and click enter to replace your current command line contents with the template.

The node client already has autocompletion for OMZ users - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr-node-client#zsh.

It also supports command search. So you can do `tldr search "compress a folder into a tarball"`. And you will be shown the top 10 matches. Yes, its not exactly autocompletion. It's more of a match to the apropos command.
