> P.S. maybe fish is even better by the way, but I could never get over the bright colouring and all these things popping in and out of my screen; it's such a "busy" chaotic experience! I'd have to spend time disabling all that stuff to make it usable for me, and I never bothered – and if you're disabling the key selling points of a program then it's probably not intended for you anyway.
I have no idea what "things popping in and out of my screen" could possibly mean. I use Fish and it's a beautiful, calm experience.
- arp242 5y agoIt does all these "autocomplete" things; for example I type "ls" and then I automatically get "| less" after that (why "| less"? Not sure), also the colours of the text of what I'm typing is constantly changing based on what I typed. I appreciate that some people really like this sort of thing and that great, but it's not for me – I find it very distracting and "chaotic". Completion is brilliant, but I only want it on-demand (same with autocomplete when writing code).
- Hamuko 5y ago>why "| less"? Not sure Pretty sure it's autocompleting the last thing that you executed that started with "ls".
- drcongo 5y agoThat's exactly what it's doing.
- arp242 5y agoNot sure where it's getting that from, because I installed fish just for that comment and I don't recall running it any time recently (not for years), and even after deleting all "fish" related things I can find in my ~ it keeps doing it, hmm... Anyhow, doesn't really matter shrug.
