My biggest issue with fish is that it has no way of letting me kludge the last command like bash does. I have muscle memory for bash shorthands like !$ For last word of the last command I executed or !! For the whole line.

It still catches me out with its sub shells too sometimes. ( () is equiv to $() in bash )

Also. No control+R

Otherwise I think it's a beautiful shell and I keep using it.



The fish philosophy is that instead of "!!" you can use the up arrow to bring up the last command from history and then edit it directly.

And the up arrow already does something similar to ctrl-R by default. No need to have a separate hotkey for that behavior.


> Also. No control+R

What would control+R do for you that isn't just part of the fish autocompletion?
