There are two problems I've found that prevent me from using fish more: 1. Fish syntax breaks virtualenv (Edit: Okay, apparently this isn't actually a problem). 2. Fish does not have the equivalent of 'disown' in bash. This is fine if you exit the parent shell normally, but not if you send SIGKILL, which my window manager (wmii and i3) does.

. bin/activate.fish

Just so people know where to find this in case they forget, it's in the header of `env/bin/activate.fish`.

# This file must be used with ". bin/activate.fish" from fish (http://fishshell.org)*

So it looks like the keys to which fish is trying to bind the mappings are not available on your system. I have opened an issue for you at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1068 , we will be following up on that. I would appreciate more inputs about your setup. For e.g. version of OS X, your terminal, keyboard type etc.

Sure. I'm basically on a fresh install of Mavericks (13A603), using Terminal.app (unmodified from defaults apart from downloading the Solarized theme), standard British Mac keyboard (rMBP).

Alright. I have updated the issue on GitHub with this information. Let's continue discussing it there.

They also have a PPA now[1]. I'm pretty sure I looked a few months ago, when 2.0 hit, and it wasn't available. [1] http://fishshell.com/files/2.1.0/linux/index.html#dl-ubuntu1...

Yes. We are introducing PPA with this release. You can read the announcement at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=315735...

Even after doing the "type this to fix weird console ouput" I still have weird console output :(

Please explain your problem in detail. If possible, open an issue on GitHub ( https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues )

I just had an argument with some folks around Bash vs Fish, my argument was as simple as "i like it", their was "you won't learn anything, fish sucks, you can do anything it does with a modded bash" ... but that's the point, i don't want to modify and configure, i want it to work out of the box.

Fish works great out of the box but it's also highly configurable. Their argument about not learning anything is void - you learn more by trying new things. Also, using fish doesn't mean you never use bash again, I still dabble around in bash often.

Are we going to use sh and its descendants for the next 100 years? The original shells evolved out of macro processors, and as time went on, more and more programming language features were bolted on, but it's an uneasy fit. Take it for a test: go write a project euler problem (or any small programming task--doesn't have to be math) in your shell of choice. It's painful. There are weird features of shell languages th…

Careful with the "in your shell of choice". Someone, perhaps me, will inevitably point out PowerShell, the shell without a proper Terminal app, but with native support for .NET-based programming languages and libraries, including useful well, let's call them "macros" because I've forgotten the official term. http://programming.oreilly.com/2013/06/powershell-command-li... It's really quite powerful, but it's a shame t…

Why is not the same as "built-in">?

I'm asking because i'm using powershell with conmeu for almost 2 years now without a problem. Plus with conmeu i also run vim and farmanager (old school file manager ) in 2 separate tabs.

Thanks for opening the issue. I'm not on github at the moment (or, rather, I am but don't want to link my profile there to my one here), but to answer the question my $TERM is "ansi". I'll keep checking the issue page for any updates in future.

Edit: I can confirm that changing $TERM to "xterm-256color" removes the issue.

I have used fish for a few months and I really liked it. I switched back to bash eventually because of a simple fact that esc-. didn't work in fish (which I use really often). If fish provides it, I will go back to fish.

You get this with Alt-Up on an empty argument (so after pressing space). Unlike bash, you can keep holding Alt and press Up repeatedly to cycle through arguments and previous commands. If you want to be more precise, typing anything in the current argument before pressing the shortcut will do a substring search.

Is that with the new fish? On 2.0.0 /Mac OS X, this doesn't work.

Thanks for your feedback. Let me just pinpoint it to other users that from this release you can now subscribe to fish shell's repositories by following instructions at http://fishshell.com/files/2.1.0/linux/index.html

You should try to get included in a mainstream distro like Arch.

It already is.
