I just noticed the current version of fish still has some annoying behavior I would love to see "fixed" in the near future. I am not sure how to explain it, so I will do it very slowly:
$ ls . .. OfficialStats_Canada_2010.txt OfficialStats_Canada_2011.txt OfficialStats_Canada_2012.txt OfficialStats_GreatBritain_2010.txt OfficialStats_GreatBritain_2011.txt OfficialStats_GreatBritain_2012.txt OfficialStats_UnitedStatesOfAmerica_2010.txt OfficialStats_UnitedStatesOfAmerica_2011.txt OfficialStats_UnitedStatesOfAmerica_2012.txt For the duration of this explanation, pretend that "^" is the cursor, or caret. You know, the insertion point in my command line. I want to view or edit a file: $ vi of^ (Note: I know that the small 'o' will become capital 'O' automatically) I press Tab: $ vi OfficialStats_^ Type G or g, then Tab: $ vi OfficialStats_G^ $ vi OfficialStats_GreatBritain_201^ Type 0, then Tab: $ vi OfficialStats_GreatBritain_2010^ $ vi OfficialStats_GreatBritain_2010.txt [return] Fine. Now I want 2010 stats for USA: $ vi [Alt+up] $ vi OfficialStats_GreatBritain_2010.txt [left,left,left,left,left,left,left,left,left] [del,del,del,del,del,del,del,del,del,del,del,del] $ vi OfficialStats_^_2010.txt [U, tab] $ vi OfficialStats_U_2010.txt^ Damnit! Instead of completing UnitedStatesOfAmerica, the caret jumped to the end of the line! So I have to suffer through this: $ vi OfficialStats_U_2010.txt^ [left,left,left,left,left,left,left,left,left] $ vi OfficialStats_U^_2010.txt [space] $ vi OfficialStats_U ^_2010.txt [left] $ vi OfficialStats_U^ _2010.txt [Tab] $ vi OfficialStats_UnitedStatesOfAmerica^ _2010.txt (note the space) [delete the space] $ vi OfficialStats_UnitedStatesOfAmerica^_2010.txt [return] Grumble... Obviously, I want fish to complete in the middle of words just the way it does immediately before a space. I've had that on tcsh and I've become too accustomed to it, because it's so convenient. I migrated to fish many months ago, but keep running into this mistake and fish adamantly refuses to cooperate! When will it learn? :-) Whaddyathink? -- Luciano ES >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: INSIGHTS What's next for parallel hardware, programming and related areas?
