I think these are both excellent suggestions by Maxim for new features in fish that would be useful to simplify & optimise some things in my vi-mode bindings. For the suggestion of an option to catch the next symbol, I think that bind '' func would be enough if func can determine which key was pressed. Passing the key in as a parameter would make sense, but would likely break existing code, so perhaps a special variable could be introduced for this purpose? If there is already a way to do this that I've missed let me know, but as far as I can tell self-insert is the only function that can do this. There is still also the caveat that if '' is not bound to self-insert then commandline -f repaint doesn't repaint the prompt, which would need to be fixed before I could make use of it. Another feature I'd like is a way to temporarily suppress the auto-suggestion feature. It's a bit out of place in vi normal mode, and can obscure the results of the change-case commands if a suggestion is already being displayed. I see there is already a suppress_autosuggestion variable which is set when pressing backspace - it would be great if I could set that with something like commandline -f suppress_autosuggestion when leaving insert mode. I personally don't mind whether I have to explicitly re-enable it or just wait until it is implicitly re-enabled next time a character is inserted.
