Thank you for that. It is good to know that the ctrl+f if available as it is much easier to use than the right arrow.
It seems that the behaviour I'm after can be achieved by commenting out these lines: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/6c8518dd1099cfec72f9a6861d2cc3cb831d479b/src/reader.cpp#L3678-L3683 Which means the first time you press history-search-backwards it autocompletes the suggestion (which is the first entry in the history after all) and then the second time it goes to the second entry in the history and so on. I can't argue that this should be exposed as an option really but at some levels it feels like very reasonable behaviour. The history-search-backwards should show you the first entry in the history just like it shows you the others. I guess the presence of the fish suggestion makes the current behaviour seem like a very reasonable choice as well. This is really just me being a creature of habit and for the small things I'd rather bend fish to my habits than retrain myself. For all the other excellent things that fish does I'm very happy to learn! I've only just made this change minutes ago so I've no idea if it might have undesirable side effects in other situations.
