Not sure if this will help or not. If you type 'vim' the command you use
most that start with vim is offered (greyed out), you can press ctrl+f
to complete it and enter to run it, if instead you press up or ctrl+p
the most recent command starting with 'vim' is completed, pressing
up/ctrl+p again will complete the second most recent command etc etc.
I think there's also a way to scroll through the most common commands
(greyed out) but I don't know how to do that.

Thanks for the response. If I press shift + tab then I get a kind of
search dialogue (which looks great!) for various possible commands but
related to what's on the system rather than what is in my history. I
am sorry if wasn't clear, I was hoping to learn how to navigate my
command history in a manner which feels consistent whether I'm going
for the last command I ran or one before that.
My issue at the moment is that it feels like it is a different key to
get to & run the last command versus getting to & running the second
to last command.
Thanks again,
Michael

Hi,
I'm new to fish shell and generally loving it. A great
experience so far.
I have one behaviour I'd like to continue from my zsh setup
which is searching the history. On zsh, if I type the start of
a command like 'vim' then it doesn't suggest anything
immediately but if I do a history-search-backward style key
press then it completes to the last command I ran that started
with 'vim' and I can press 'enter' to run it or repeat the
history-search thingy to find the command before that, etc.
So it is the same pattern for the last command or the one
before it, just more key presses.
With fish, if I type 'vim' then it ghosts in the last command
I ran that starts with 'vim' and if I click
history-search-backward thingy then I get the second to last
command. So if I want to run the last command, I currently
have to press 'right arrow' to complete the ghosting then
enter and if I want the second to last then I have to press
history-search-backward and then press enter. This small
difference is throwing me off and I'd like to emulate the
behaviour I had with zsh.
Is that possible? I've had a little look at some of the fish
scripts and the use of the 'commandline' command but I can't
see how I would achieve the results I'm after. Any help would
be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Michael
