It's easily observable using system() but anything else that tries to invoke commands in a subshell and capture the output will run into the same problem. Vim is running this command /usr/bin/fish -c "(ls /tmp) >/tmp/v244859/1" fish doesn't allow you to use a subshell command as the actual command being run. That is, the above command-line errors out (in an interactive shell) with "Illegal command name (ls /tmp)". Vim should simply be running it as /usr/bin/fish -c "ls /tmp >/tmp/v244859/1" From what I've seen in Vim's shell-related options, there isn't anything to affect this.
