I've been using fish for a few months now (switched from zsh). Really nice to have good defaults and minimal configuration, and the suggestions based on previously entered commands are great. The main issues I have compared to zsh are: - No bracketed paste mode. If I select multiple lines of text and middle-click-paste into zsh, it adds the whole lot as a multi-line input and lets me review the commands before pressing Return. fish just starts blindly executing them, which can cause accidents. - Chaining commands is harder. In zsh `foo |& less` pipes stdout and stderr. Also, fish's `foo; and bar` is longer than `foo && bar`. - Hashes in words start a comment in fish. e.g. `opam pin repo#branch` is treated as `opam pin repo`, pinning the wrong branch. zsh only treats # as a comment at the start of a new word. - While completion history and `set -U` are really useful, it sometimes forgets everything and I have to start again, which is quite annoying. On the whole, very happy with it though! |
