Hello fishermans ;)

In my case, I have a repo for my home-folder. Which I have on almost
all my boxes to keep my configs synced. I also like to make "aliases"
for ssh to some different boxes, so I just type the name of the box in
my fish and I get there.

And It's very very rare that I want to ssh to localhost, so I fired up
a texteditor and added if-statements depending on hostname to make a
function or not in my ~/.config/fish/function/*fish files... like
this:
if test (hostname) != "mybox"
    function mybox
        ssh mybox.example.com $argv
    end
end

This works well, until I want to funced that function on any box, I
have to do it by hand in the file. The inline-editor does not do it
for me if I have if-statement outside of the function-declaration. But
that's fine.

So to my suggestion:

To introduce --hosts on function

And that you can have multiple hosts separated by comma and that you
can have wildcard * for any host, and have like "!myhost42" to say
"don't make this function available on hosts with the name myhost42"

Like this:

function mybox --hosts *,!mybox
  ssh mybox.example.com $argv
end
