[Fish-users] mimedb

the mimedb bug that causes it to hang on certain XML files causes serious problems with tab-completion with glade files (amongst others). Until a proper fix is released, this temporary patch can be used to limit the mimedb RegEx recursion and make tab-completion usable again: diff -rN

[Fish-users] feature request / discussion

Someone asked me today how to do this in Fish: command 21 | tee log.txt i.e. pipe both stdout and stderr into the stdin of a subprocess. and it seems that this is not possible (easily anyway) in fish. Is this the sort of thing that would be easy to implement? Thanks Steve Stagg

Re: [Fish-users] how to kill current process in 1 easy step

Fish sessions synchronize their history periodically (every 5 mins by default IIRC) to a global settings daemon. So you probably will not be able to avoid history pollution in this case by killing the session. Havind said that, `kill -9 %self` should do what you want. Steve Stagg On Jul 8,

Re: [Fish-users] using autosuggestion word by word

Given the average command (99%) has 10 arguments, I think there's a strong driver for making the completion work on one word at a time, Having to press the right arrow 4/5 times in a few cases is a small price to pay for the benefit of having per-argument completion. Steve On Mon, Sep 3, 2012

This isn't really possible, you can't rely the data being available by the time you want to check if there is data to read. This is a race condition that can only really be solved by putting in a timeout, which sucks. testing if you have a tty is quite a common way to work around the issue
