I tried out zsh and just could not get used to how different tab completion was vs bash, so went back to bash quickly. Is tab completion on fish more similar to bash than zsh is?
- MiguelX413 5y agoI use zsh because of its tab completion lol
- kbd 5y agoTotally. And there’s nothing better than fzf-tab https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab
- MiguelX413 5y agoI'll try it out!
- cookiecaper 5y agoTry it for yourself: https://rootnroll.com/d/fish-shell/ https://rootnroll.com/d/fish-shell/
- indigodaddy 5y agoAh cool thanks!
- acdha 5y agoI didn't find it too much of a switch — it works well and things like Option-><arrow> to complete it word by word are really handy with repetitive tasks like using the AWS CLI.
- mwaitjmp 5y agoTotally agree, it’s very off putting to use zsh auto complete after years of using bash.
- bscphil 5y agoNo, fish actually has super fancy autocompletion with suggestions, which is even more complicated and visually messy than the zsh defaults. Furthermore, none of it can be disabled in fish. (This is why I don't use fish, fwiw.) On the other hand, you can disable all these advanced features in zsh and get something a bit closer to a bash readline shell, with a few extra features. That's what I use.
