Going by Martin's example, it should give preference to 'cd a' because thats the command that was given when not in 'a' (say he was in his home dir), 'cd ..' was given when in 'a', so that gets lesser preference and appears as the next suggestion. But I agree with you. Having suggestions come out in chronological order is more predictable and consistent. -mandeep > > -Kevin > > On Apr 9, 2014, at 7:41 PM, Martin Cigorraga <martincigorr...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hello all, a Fish n00b and -already a- worshipper here. >> >> I would like to know your opinion about presenting suggestions based on >> path's history in contrast to global suggestions - as we are commonly used >> to. >> >> As I often find myself doing the same repetitive stuff at the same places >> all over again (a good part of systems' administration is quite repetitive) >> a really nice feature for me would be that the shell suggests me completions >> to the commands I issue based on the history of the path I'm standing at - >> the "local" history in contrast with the "global" history. >> >> Please take a look at this example: >> >> ~> mkdir a; and cd a >> ~/a> ls -lah >> total 8,0K >> drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4,0K Apr 9 20:08 ./ >> drwxr-xr-x 4 user users 4,0K Apr 9 20:08 ../ >> ~/a> .. >> ~> ls -rtF >> a/ >> ~> cd a >> l~/a> ls -rtF <-- with ls arguments grayed out. >> >> For me it would be really useful that once again in "a" I am offered with >> "ls -lah" instead ls -rtF as in this example ls -lah "takes relevance" over >> ls -rtF. >> >> *Note: the way Fish actually shows suggestions when browsing history, first >> the ones relevant to the local path and then completing with the global >> history is just perfect. >> >> // >> On a side note I would like to thank everyone involved with Fish's >> development as I've been using it as my main shell since a month or so and I >> already know I can never look back to other traditional shells. >> Fish is one of those apps that you don't realize how desperately you need it >> until you start using it, just like tmux or GNU Screen, Emacs or Vim. >> Since I started using Fish I _barely_ miss the 138 aliases I used everyday >> on Bash as Fish's voodoo black magic powers take care of almost every aspect >> of my fishing :D >> (Silly pun, I know, but this shell it's just too fishy to hold them) >> (Recursive puns rules). >> >> Cheers. >> -- >> /Martin >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Put Bad Developers to Shame >> Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration >> Continuously Automate Build, Test & Deployment >> Start a new project now.
