Currently, a backslash followed by a newline is interpreted as a newline in fish. This means that you can write e.g. pwd\ pwd and it will execute the 'pwd' command twice. However, this is not true in a quoted environment. Writing echo "hello\ goodbye" Will output hello\ goodbye and not hello goodye I'm proposing we change this, in order to make it possible to save a multiline command in the history by backslash escaping all newlines. > > > Once the history problem is fixed, the new config file reshuffle is > > done, and ^K and various other keyboard shortcuts are made to operate > > on a single line and not the entire buffer, all known fish regressions > > should be fixed, and one can start thinking about a new fish release. > > as in 1.21.13 or 1.22? I definitely think the next release should be 1.22.0. Multiline editing and the proposed new file layout are big enough features to warrant the version bump. > > > Also, I have added support for autoindentation to fish.
