Re: [Fish-users] a builtin AND a function?

Mark, cd is a builtin, but the default fish installation comes with a function called cd (which overshadows the builtin) which wraps the builtin and adds some functionality such as recognizing "-" to mean "previous directory", keeping the directory history, etc. You can see its definition by

Re: [Fish-users] external command inside function fails on OSX

I'm not sure how PATH settings are propagated through functions. One quick solution would be to just use the full path for all commands (e.g. /usr/sbin/diskutil). On Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 2:14 PM, Dave Cottlehuber wrote: > Hi fisherfolk, > > This is a copy-pasta function

Hi Stig, I also missed !! and !$ when I moved to fish. Someone on this list (can’t remember who, sorry) pointed me to this: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/wiki/Bash-Style-History-Substitution-%28%21%21-and-%21%24%29 I’ve been using it ever since and it works beautifully (I haven’t

Re: [Fish-users] Suspend?

Hi Mike, There doesn't seem to be a way to suspend a fish shell, ala the suspend builtin in zsh, bash, etc. I'm wondering if this is a bug, and C-Z should work (except in a login shell), or if it's a design feature. or if no one has asked for it? It works for me: diego@cuper➜ sleep 50

Re: [Fish-users] 5 minutes fish from 15 years bash impression

Robert, I couldn’t agree more. There are a few things I found frustrating in fish at first (some I still do, like the inability to recall previous commands/arguments with !! and !$ - I have to look more into coding those with functions), but over time I’ve found the interactive shell

Re: [Fish-users] query about using alias with sudo

Mandeep, Have you also changed root’s shell to fish? Otherwise it will not read that config file. If I may make a side comment, I wouldn’t recommend using fish as root’s shell. As much as I like fish, its code is not nearly as mature as bash or sh, so there’s a higher likelihood of bugs,

Re: [Fish-users] Using fish without fishd

want fishd running, then you probably don't want to be using fish. If you use add ons like oh-my-zsh or oh-my-bash, you can get bash and zsh to do most of what fish does. - Booker C. Bense On Sun, Nov 16, 2014 at 8:01 PM, Diego Zamboni di...@zzamboni.org mailto:di...@zzamboni.org

Strange... I see all the references to fishd in documentation, but I don't have fishd installed nor running. However, universal variables work fine. I'm installing fish using Homebrew, and the formula file contains a pkill fishd in the postinstall section, so I guess it must've been there not
