#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
Thanks, this is exactly what is needed to get an idea what Fish is to begin with.
It is all too common for github pages to have no reference to more introductory material, and no obvious introductory material of their own.

#23I’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!
Could you specify what you mean with bash cross-compatibility? This has been my only gripe after using fish for a long time and why I've been considering switching back to zsh.

#25Heads 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 eras…
It may be worth checking the fzf plugin you're using with Fish. There is a more recent+maintained effort[0] that brings an even more delightful feature set, particularly with Ctrl+R/_fzf_search_history
