@krobelus thank you so much! on second glance it's in the tutorial here https://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html#autosuggestions.
For my own education, though, what do you mean by "readline for 'right-arrow'"? A quick Google only got me here -- https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/364532/128049 -- but it's not super clear to me.
fish stackoverflows when i have
alias foo=ls
alias ls=fooand enter one of foo or ls
bash and zsh just say "command not found"
should i open an issue?
It doesn't "stackoverflow" in the traditional sense that it blows its own stack and crashes, it "stackoverflows" in the sense that the script function recursion depth has been exceeded and so it prints an error and chugs along otherwise.
This is a sensible failure mode for something that logically has to fail, so it's okay. There is no bug in fish.
If the tool is called "httpie", then it needs to be "httpie.fish".
Ah, it actually installs as "http"?
Okay, it works for me. You're probably expecting it to do more than it does. It completes stuff like
--print or --style=. Options and such. It still offers files for the most part, because they decided not to disable them.
This is more than the official bash completions do, btw.
well, actually.
I take that back. What bash/zsh/ksh are doing are most right.
this is what happens:
bash-3.2$ alias hostname=uname
bash-3.2$ alias uname=hostname
bash-3.2$ uname
Darwin
bash-3.2$ hostname
M1.local
they just invalidate apparently and the command goes through as entered.
is it possible to choose a location for the cursor upon abbreviation expansion? I commonly use
realpath -e (command -v $SOMECOMMAND) so I'd like to create an abbreviation that expands to realpath -e (command -v ) where the cursor is just before the closing paren. or can I create a function but still get $PATH-based autocomplete like with command -v?
not with an abbreviation, at least.

Quick noobie question, I know I can change the output of
ls in bash with this: LS_COLORS="di=1;31" in fish would it be set -Ux LS_COLORS "di=1;31"?
was wondering why my vi cursor wasn't working, turns out the foot check is coming in the next release 👍️. but I noticed something weird, I saw the emacs check and was going to recommend narrowing it to
term since vterm works fine with all the fancy terminal stuff. but the vi cursor works fine in emacs vterm, even though fish_vi_cursor only checks INSIDE_EMACS, which is set to vterm in vterm. this should cause it to exit, yet the vi cursor works fine somehow?
not to be confused with fit check
but in general, sure
that was meant for the thread with @faho.
Anyway, that change is okay. It's mostly the idea of going from "you" back to "the user" that I don't like.
This moves us further away from the hyper-correct standardese, which is a good thing.
doesn't help every rst file I open, I do a deep dive on the topic. ADHD I guess
