No, however writing such a function should be easy. In fish you can bind
arbitrary functions, including ones that you write, to keystrokes. See the
`commandline` command for how to fetch the token under the cursor and
insert text into the command line. It's possible someone has already
written such a function. You might want to check the Fisherman and
Oh-My-Fish plugin repositories before writing your own.

I don't know what that does. Fish already has a pretty good completion
system that will suggest appropriate flags and subcommands depending on
what you have already typed.
