These optiosn could be updated with the current system wide options

The "autosuggestion.enable = true;" part of the example config seems not to work.

Yes, I just undid a recent change that removed the plural 's' of autosuggestions. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/44534bc021b85c8d78e465021e21f33b856e2540/nixos/modules/programs/zsh/zsh-autosuggestions.nix#L19 for reference (current stable at time of writing) --Fadenb (talk) 16:13, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Once more, for clarifications. The version with a plural 's' is correct. Without it, it does not work:

┃        error: The option `programs.zsh.autosuggestion' does not exist. Definition values:
┃        - In `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix':
┃            {
┃              enable = true;
┃            }

Correction: The example is for the home-manager variant, not the similarly named NixOS option. With this in mind, please ignore my statements above. I also added a warning on the page pointing here to avoid future confusion.

The parameters for zsh (not Home Manager) in my nixos-25.11 version should be like this

/etc/nixos/confiuration.nix

{ pkgs, ... }: {
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ zsh-powerlevel10k ];
  programs.zsh = {
    enable = true;
    enableCompletion = true;
    enableBashCompletion = true;
    autosuggestions.enable = true;
    syntaxHighlighting.enable = true;
    histSize = 10000;
    shellAliases = {
      #...
    };
    setOptions = [
      "AUTO_CD"
    ]
    prompInit = ''
      source ${pkgs.zsh-powerlevel10k}/share/zsh-powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme
    '';
    ohMyZsh = {
      enable = true;
      plugins = [ "git" "dirhistory" "history" ];
    };
  };
  users.defaultUserShell = pkgs.zsh;
  system.userActivationScripts.zshrc = "touch .zshrc";
  environment.shells = with pkgs; [ zsh ];
}
