Re: [Fish-users] Introduction and plans for a book about Fish

Hey Mark, I've seen this too, and I spent some time digging around in the source today and I don't think there is a way around it: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/cb352317bdd421d140771de62c23ee3c32138502/src/screen.cpp#L956-L961 Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I

Hey Jakob, I thought I'd chime in with the implementation I have running, just for the sake of completion: fish -v fish, version 2.1.2-1228-g89da096 .config/fish/functions/expand-dot-to-parent-directory-path.fish : function expand-dot-to-parent-directory-path -d 'expand ... to ../.. etc'

Aleksey, I honestly can't decide if you're trying to troll the mailing list or if you have legitimate questions. I'm going to take a risk of feeding the troll here in hopes that you're actually, honestly trying to understand fish-shell. To save yourself some time, I'll put the summation at the

Re: [Fish-users] Change default path from ~/ to ~/Sites

In the past, my approach to this has been to just define an alias something along the lines of: alias scd cd ~/Sites At times, I've also taken the approach of instructing whatever Terminal app I'm using at the time to just start in whatever directory is occupying most of my time. You may

Yvon, Backticks are indeed the problem. Simply swap them out for parentheses and it should work as expected: diskutil erasevolume HFS+ Ram Disk (hdiutil attach -nomount ram://204800) Robert On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 10:34 AM, Yvon Thoraval yvon.thora...@gmail.comwrote: With shell fish i get :

[Fish-users] Control key to accept part of a command completion suggestion?

Hi fish-users, I've been running a lot of similar commands lately and I've been really grateful for the fish command suggestion feature. One thing I've come across is a situation where I only want to take the next word or two from the suggestion and then finish the command differently from the

Re: [Fish-users] Proper way to put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin/ in $PATH

Hey Jesse, I ran into the exact same problem a few months ago. A friendly fish user suggested I explicitly set my path in config.fish and that has worked. The line in my ~/.config/fish/config.fish file is: set -x PATH /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/sbin /sbin I'm sure there

[Fish-users] Rearranging my $PATH

Hey Fish Users, My $PATH has the following: /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin I've recently upgraded my git, and homebrew links it into /usr/local/bin, but the system git, which is installed in /usr/bin is still activated when I execute a git command. Homebrew has been warning me

Re: [Fish-users] “fg -”

Elias, I do this all the time under fish and have no problem. ^z to background a running task, `jobs` to see what is running, `fg` or `fg N` to bring something forward. It even works with the `command ` syntax to background a job at command time. Robert On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Elias

[Fish-users] Autoloading functions from .config/fish/functions seems to be broken, or I am missing something.

Hello all, Little bit by little bit I've been porting bash functions from my bash workflow over to fish functions and have had great success, with one caveat. I haven't been able to get fish to autoload files from the functions/ directory at all. For now I'm just stashing everything in the
