One of the benefits is using fzf autocomplete. E.g. in fish type the first char of the command and Tab to launch fzf. Then `,`+Tab is a quick way to filter these custom commands. Versus `ls ~/bin` would be a lot of characters for something I do a lot, or maybe I'd be going `ls`+UpArrow+UpArrow+UpArrow to autocomplete that first.

The “ls “ part is not necessary for tab completion.

    ~/bin<tab><tab>
Is enough. Not that short, but is something done infrequently in my experience. Maybe I’d do it more if it was easier?
