fisher VS fzf-fish-integration

You've got to install Fisher, then get z, sponge and a few others from the awsm.fish list.

Then you get trapped by the utility and struggle when you land on some remote server's bash shell.

If you're running a script, you can use edc/bass to run it from a fish shell. Fisher is one of the first things I install after fish, then bass, z and a few other helper plugins.

As a minimalist plugin manager for Fish, I recommend fisher. I've created a plugin that can be installed via fisher and integrated into any Fish environment. If there are any reasons why you don't want to use Fisher, you can just copy-paste conf.d/autoenv.fish file to your ~/.config/fish/conf.d directory.

Fish is a acronyn for friendly interactive shell. It is a smart and user friendly shell for Unix-like operating systems like Linux. There are a lot of features that make it stand out from other shells like bash. It has a lot of features like autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, tab completions and a lot more. You can read more about it in the documentation. I have been using it for a while now and I it configured to my liking. In terms of plugins I use fisher to manage my plugins. I have a couple of plugins that I use on a daily basis. I have listed them below:

stay away from Oh-My-Fish - you probably don’t need it - Fish is pretty awesome out of the box, and if you do want a plugin or two Fisher is a much better route.

Agreed. I personally like Fisher (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher) with this theme based on Powerlevel10k (https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide)

Fisher is a simple and convenient plugin manager for Fish. With a single command, you can install new plugins, update them, or remove them, without ever having to change any file. Convenient! Therefore, I recommend to install it to simplify your plugin management.

You can install it quickly using fisher:

I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues

I like https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish

Can also do cool stuff like search for a file to open in $EDITOR and searching git log

There is new pull request with new function for fzf.fish, that enables fzf-tab completion.

It may be worth checking the fzf plugin you're using with Fish. There is a more recent+maintained effort[0] that brings an even more delightful feature set, particularly with Ctrl+R/_fzf_search_history

I missed the shell integration when switching to Fish a couple of years ago. fzf.fish saved the day, I wouldn't be without the keybindings now (Ctrl+Alt+F is roughly the equivalent of `*`)

I am the creator of fzf.fish plugin. I'm currently looking for ways to improve the plugin, especially for ideas to simplify it and make it more accessible for everyone, not just power users.

Shameless plug for https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish, which definitely covers searching your history and has plenty of other usages the commandline command, mentioned above.

For commands with many arguments that are in the history, history search is absolutely better than auto-suggest, yes. But I'd also recommend fzf + fzf.fish in that case, for turbo-charged history (and other) searches.

I put a some time and effort in it, but i've been greatly influenced by the excellent PatrickF1/fzf.fish: Augment your fish command line with fzf key bindings. (github.com) plugin, with its great configuration management (using a dedicated function).
