This is how I personally expect things to work. I expect a backlashed
newline to be the same thing as a real newline except it doesn't cuase
the command to exit right now. But I may be in a minority, dunno. Most
shellscript languages seem to do what you expect, but e.g. CPP does
what I expect.

I can't reproduce this on my system and I don't have easy access to
any OS X system at the moment. Can anyone else on the list with an OS
X machine confirm this issue?

That's easy to fix! :-)
set -U BROWSER links
should do the trick...

The current devel version of fish has something different with mostly
the same advantages. If you are writing a command which becomes too
long to fit on the line, the prompt will automatically move to a line
of it's own, giving the shellscript code the entire screen width to
itself. This is of course not the same thing, but hopefully it's good
enough until someone implements a right hand side prompt. Personally,
I've found it to be a very nice feature.

I've though a lot about that. I definitly want some interface where
you can pick one of the available completions, but I'm not really sure
that is the right interface. Perhaps something more like a completion
pager that allows you to select one completion. Different ideas have
been tossed around here on the list. Not sure where it will lead, but
I hope we'll get _something_ one of these days. :-/
