> My absolute favourite thing about fish is that I type, it’ll automatically suggest (in light grey) a matching command that I ran recently. I can press the right arrow key to accept the completion, or keep typing to ignore it. You can also accept the suggestion with ctrl+f (or just a part of the suggestion with alt+f).

This was my 'old man yells at cloud moment.' I was playing with CachyOS recently, and opened a terminal and it absolutely frightened me. There was wayyy too much going on as I typed. So I did what old fuds do and changed the default shell back to bash. I was impressed with its completion/suggestion speed, but it seemed overwhelming. Is that something that gets better with time?

  You can make it minimal. fish_config is a builtin tool you can use to switch to a simple theme and prompt.

  I think once you use it for a while, you kind of expect it to be there and tune it out. Then you only really perceive it when you're interested.
