  • fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell

    Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

    BUT...

    After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

    1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

    2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

    3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

    4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

    5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

    6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

    7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

    For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

    I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

  • is there a plugin to replace zsh's default completion selection menu with dmenu?
    1 project | /r/zsh | 22 Jun 2023
    Basically I want one that works like fzf-tab, but instead of using fzf I want dmenu, I asked chatGPT to make one (I'm aware of how pathetic this sounds...) but it didn't work the way I expected
  • How can i achieve this zsh expansion?

    You might have better luck with finding the answer if you file an issue at https://github.com/lincheney/fzf-tab-completion. Few here are using https://github.com/lincheney/fzf-tab-completion (https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab is a much more popular alternative among zsh users).

    Yeah it's just the prefect tool for speeding up so many things in the command line. I even have Fzf pop up for tab completion with fzf-tab.
  • Fish like autosuggestion commands description in zsh!
    2 projects | /r/zsh | 29 Jan 2023
    There's a popular autosuggestion extension (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) which puts dimmed suggestions from the command history in front of the cursor. I use & like it a lot -- however it doesn't do command descriptions as in your sample picture. fzf-tab does something similar, though (https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab); I find it very useful likewise.
