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.

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.

Thanks

Heads up to fzf users who used to use fzf's Ctrl+R, and would like to now disable it (to use fish's that has syntax highlighting) without disabling the rest of fzf's shell keybindings: I filed https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/3115 , "How to selectively disable Ctrl+R shell keybinding (while NOT disabling Alt+C & others)"

EDIT faho (fish shell maintainer) chimed in the issue and describes how to ask fish to erase the custom binding after fzf keybindings load! I confirm it works :) . Pretty delicious fish. Thanks faho!

    fzf_key_bindings # load fzf shell keybindings normally
    bind --erase \cr # restore built-in-fish>=3.6.0 Ctrl+R history

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!

Same here, I'm using fish since the earliest days and I can't live without it. It is one of the essential tools in my toolkit.

Is what?

As can be seen, this is one of those project pages not intended to be useful to those who have not already become familiar with the subject in some other way.

Apparently this approach is so widely used in order to limit the number of new people that might become interested.

If Fish 3.6.0 were to catch on very widely or god forbid go viral, I can only imagine the maintainer would be as gravely disappointed as could be.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the actual project page is very useful: https://fishshell.com/

The OP is the equivalent of a changelog, which isn’t going to be terribly helpful to the uninitiated.

Ah yes. The wisdom of the OP’s obscurity becomes clear now.
