That would work fine for me. But, since I don't know where "vi" is, because
the "type" command doesn't work . . .
And, here's another one: When I sudo from zsh or bash, my path is
maintained. When I do it from fish, the path does not work. So, in this
case, I was going to install the darwinports port for fish, so I could look
at the code, but:
sudo port install fish
Does not work, because port is not properly in the sudo path. And, I can't
invoke it directly, because:
type port
Also does not work. So, in this case, I had to do this:
exec zsh
type port
exec fish
sudo /opt/local/bin/port install fish
Now, /opt/local/bin is in my path, but, my "user" doesn't have access to
install ports, root does . . .
These are some of the issues which caused me to dump fish in the past.
