What's the output of 'bind' and 'bind --key-names' on your system ?

Install it on remote machine :)

It was always possible to background processes in fish. You may be confusing it with not able to background functions (https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/238). We are yet to fix that bug.

No. But you can always go back to previous command with up arrow key and modify it.

Install it using Homebrew (brew install fish).

siteshwar··on Fish shell 2.1

fish does this too when you press up arrow key.

The argument that "fish is not customizable" is not true. Fish is customizable, but at the same time it hides unnecessary complexity from the user. For e.g. You can customize colors in fish, but you can't customize size of the history file (How many people do it ?). fish comes with sane defaults and most of the times you won't need to change any configurations unless you have very specific requirements.

What OS are you using ? If you are on Linux, you can subscribe to our repositories from http://fishshell.com/files/2.1.0/linux/index.html and update your package.

What problems are you facing while using virtualenv ? I use fish with virtualenv and everything seems fine.( You need to source activate.fish to activate virtualenv on fish. )

siteshwar··on Fish shell 2.1

Thanks for your feedback. Let me just pinpoint it to other users that from this release you can now subscribe to fish shell's repositories by following instructions at http://fishshell.com/files/2.1.0/linux/index.html

fish's syntax is not POSIX compliant (because fish tries to simplify syntax), so at times it breaks other programs which depends on POSIX syntax. But you can always find workarounds for those problems. For e.g. see the discussion at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/921 . Let us know your problem and we can help you with migrating.

You can see help pages on command line with 'man commandname' or with 'commandname --help'

Regarding customizing your prompt, try running 'fish_config' and check list of already available prompts from prompts tab.

siteshwar··on Fish: Finally, a command line shell for the 90s

It should be there if you've installed fishfish, if you feel it's a bug please consider opening an issue on github : https://github.com/ridiculousfish/fishfish/issues

siteshwar··on Fish: Finally, a command line shell for the 90s

Yes, you can use Ctrl + F instead of right arrow key to autocomplete.

siteshwar··on FreeBSD 10 to use Clang, GCC will be deprecated

I was a bit surprised by Stallman's statement

"One of our main goals for GCC is to prevent any parts of it from being used together with non-free software. Thus, we have deliberately avoided many things that might possibly have the effect of facilitating such usage"
