The plugin documentation used to include the following options, which still appear in my .zshrc:

Are they still valid? Unless I'm mistaken, they've dropped out of readme.md and do not appear anywhere in the code.

Many thanks.

min-input is definitely still supported. The rest not. Here's how they work now instead:

To let Autocomplete use cdr for recent dirs, you don't need to do anything.
To use menu-select simply bind it to Tab, like so: bindkey '\t' menu-select
To use fzf completion, either use its own completion script or use a third-party tool, such as lincheney/fzf-tab-completion or Aloxaf/fzf-tab.
If you want to use both, you'll need to write your own widget that somehow decides which one to call when. I decided I no longer want to maintain this functionality, since are too many different opinions on how this should work and I don't use fzf myself. Or perhaps one of the authors in the previous bullet poi…

Or perhaps one of the authors in the previous bullet point provide this functionality (no idea; I don't use their software) or are willing to add and maintain it.
