Wow it looks like like the vim mode has improved a lot since last time I used it. It's a joy to use. It was the only reason I was still using zsh.

Possible to do global history across sessions in fish? I use multiple zsh sessions (as tabs) in iterm2, and love the fact my commands are available across tabs.

Wow, I switched to fish a few months ago, and the items explicitly listed here are exactly some of my sticking points from transitioning from bash. In bash I would use both the multicd and !! operations they describe there, along with control-r and removing them from my muscle memory has been some of the only downsides. I'm excited to see that all three of these are possible to set up here as well.

not an answer to your question, but an alternative,

whenever I feel that historical command context missing (why does "UP" not give me my command I ran 5 tabs away?!), I run `history merge` and be on my way.

`history merge` can be run manually in Fish to force the current session to pickup the global history, or you can use a small plugin to do it automatically:

I’ve used fish since the pre 2.0 days, and have always been impressed with it, it has literally saved me days of time at this point, in total.

The bash cross-comparability features are really nice for simple copy paste commands and control-r will be another great nice to have.

It’s the first thing I install on any new system!

Great, thanks for the plugin pointer.
