Hello

To start an application from the command line on macos, there's the
"open" tool (https://ss64.com/osx/open.html). If given a "file", it
starts the default application and loads the file in it, eg.:

     open README.md             => opens README.md in an editor
     open http://lmgtfy.com/    => opens the URL in a browser
     open .                     => shows the current dir in Finder

"open" also has a "-a application" option, to start a specified app
instead. To load the current directory in Visual Studio Code, one
would execute:

     open -a "Visual Studio Code" .

With quotes or \ escapes. The "string" after "-a" needs to be, what's
in the /Application folder.

Having to enter the name correctly and completely is annoying. Would
be great, if one could use <tab>-completion there. zsh has this
feature ;)

How can one configure fish shell to have such a feature as well? :)

Thanks,
Alexander
