Now, that makes sense ^. Good idea Martin! You have my seconded.
i'd also like to be able to complete suggestions one word at a time
I just discovered that this actually seems to be possible and work:
$ ls -d /etc /var /bin # this is just to get the command into your history
$ ls <CTRL>-<RIGHT>
$ ls -d <CTRL>-<RIGHT>
$ ls -d /etc
Repeated use of <CTRL>-<RIGHT> completes by words (except it also seems to
be needed for each space in between them which is a bit weird and probably
should get fixed). I had been looking for this feature for a long time and
am pleasantly surprised to discover that it already seems to exist. On
this same note is it possible to update the User
Documentation<http://fishshell.com/docs/2.0/> as
it seems to be somewhat outdated? I would gladly contribute to fixing that
up (it looks like it may be generated from
source<http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html>)
unless there's some other canonical documentation that people are using?
For example, searching for CTRL-F on that page finds nothing, which
surprised me when that is the way that I complete most of the suggestions
in fish.

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
