      Thanks. I think I should check out fish soon, I keep seeing it a lot lately and it seems to be made for lazy people like me. :)

        Fish has a bunch or weirdness if you’re used to other shells for things like substitution, and shortcuts like $_ don’t work afaik.

          Huh, I checked and noticed that fish is non-POSIX. I guess I’ll just stick to zsh but I still want to check fish to see what’s all this about.

            Yeah, I tried it for a bit. It gives you coloured autocompletes for things in your history but you accept them with right-arrow rather than tab as well, which is a weird choice, and ctrl-r is still faster. It’s very much a day-to-day user’s experience rather than a scripting shell, I think people stick with others in their shebangs.
