 +Here are the lines I add to my ''/etc/default/grub'' file immediately (first thing!) after a fresh install (descriptions below): 
 +
 +<code>
 +GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
 +GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
 +GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
 +</code>
 +
 +After you save the grub file, run: ''update-grub''. Reboot.

 ===== No Windows ===== ===== No Windows =====
  
 +If your fancy, shiny, new Linux install failed to recognize Windows and place a boot option for it in Grub... it's okay. 
 +
 +After grub v2.06 ''os-prober'' is disabled by default, therefore your fresh, shiny, new Kali install will not recognize other operating systems (like Windoze). If this happens, then add this to your ''/etc/default/grub'' file: 
 +
 +<code>
 +# file: /etc/default/grub
 +
 +GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
 +</code>
 +
 +Then run: ''update-grub''. If that doesn't do the try, try: ''grub-mkconfig'' (or possibly ''grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg'')

 +===== zsh auto-suggestion =====
 +
 +The default terminal in Kali is zsh and out of the box it has auto-suggestion turned on. That means you get pop-up suggestions every time you type in the term window. Annoying. 
 +
 +**Here's how you turn that off:** Find the following lines in your ''~/.zshrc'' file (toward the bottom, around line 248: ''vim +248 .zshrc'') and comment them out. 
 +
 +<code>
 +# enable auto-suggestions based on the history
 +if [ -f /usr/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh ]; then
 +    . /usr/share/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
 +    # change suggestion color
 +    ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE='fg=#999'
 +fi
 +</code>
 +
 +Restart the terminal for changes to take effect.
