Heh, now THAT's why it can be worthwhile learning to use your shell in vi mode (I wrote some fairly functional vi-mode bindings for fish - search the archives if you are interested). >> Damnit! Instead of completing UnitedStatesOfAmerica, the caret jumped to the >> end of the line! Oh god yes, I hate that too! I don't actually run into this situation very often in fish (probably in part because of some of the other nice features of fish), but when I do I end up either doing a dE (delete to End of word from my vi-mode.fish) before hitting tab, or (if I want the remainder of the word for whatever reason) I do the same insert a space then go back and press tab that you describe. >> Whaddyathink? > > Maybe it helps that fish does cycle through the possible completions > by repeatedly pressing tab. The cycling is a nice feature (I used to have the same thing under zsh), but it's really irrelevant to Luciano's comment. I'm not really sure if the current behaviour really has any good advantages (I can't think of any offhand, but I may not be representative of everyone using fish) - perhaps we should just change the tab completion behaviour to only consider the characters up to the cursor if it's in the middle of a word?
