What do you think about a keybinding to set the commandline to the most

keybinding currently is?
I'm not sure. It's adds complexity (more things to read, absorb and
remember).
True - it could be something simple like " [alt-H copies to
commandline]" to minimise added complexity.
How often will this be useful? Keybindings should be
reserved for a few, often-used functions that require quick access. I
understand the idea is to make it easier to follow references, but the
shell is all about typing anyway. Is it so hard to type "help
function"?
Shouldn't a friendly shell be in part about the tersest typing (and
thought) necessary to achieve a goal? That's why I find things like
completion so useful. This binding would be used mostly by migrators
from other shells I imagine, but would also be helpful for simple typos.
In my opinion, there are better changes that can be made.
Fair points. I see the benefits, but it is possible it that the above
suggestion is a bit overhelpful. Opinions are welcome.
It may be, and that's why I phrased it as a question. In its defence,
any user could remove the binding - freeing up the key combo for another
use - and in that case fish could refrain from displaying the hint.
