fzf-fish-integration VS tide

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).

Tide is as close to powerlevel10k as one can get in Fish.

> The main inconvenience of fish is not even having to go into another shell for some tasks like virtual env activation, but wondering whether some command you just ran silently did something wrong because of shell incompatibility.

I have the impression that you just overlook all the rest of the things that can go wrong when using Bash, because you are simply used to it, you know it and you know how it will behave.

> Also, I wonder how fast is OMF compared to Starship?

Those are two total different projects that do not conflict at all. Personally, during my hypomania on Fish (yup), I didn't even use OMF, but added things manually and only those really needed, so that there was as little code to to maintain as possible. Fish does not have a huge number of scripts, plug-ins. If Starship is too slow for you, you might like tide. I found nothing more interesting, after which I returned to Starship anyway, but it's really fast.

Perhaps you don't need something faster than Starship, just to configure Fish in such a way that it cleans itself of garbage and runs asynchronously?

I'm using a custom terminal prompt. Mine is tide for fish shell but there are many others. A lot of people use starship, which works on every terminal

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

https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide is the usual recommendation for a powerlevel10k-like experience.

Prompt - https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide. Go fish and never look back.
