Key Bindings

The shell uses Vi key bindings (fish_vi_key_bindings). All custom bindings are active in Insert, Normal, and Visual modes unless noted.

Binding         Action
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Ctrl+G          Insert the head of the previous command's last path
                argument. Equivalent to !$:h in Bash.
                Example: previous = "cd /usr/local/bin"
                         Ctrl+G inserts "/usr/local"

Ctrl+F          Interactive history substitution. Type old/new then
                press Ctrl+F to apply s/old/new/ to the previous
                command. Equivalent to !!:s/old/new/ in Bash.
                Example: previous = "echo this is a test"
                         type "this is/that was", press Ctrl+F
                         result = "echo that was a test"

Ctrl+Alt+U      Strip the first token of the current command line,
                leaving arguments in place with the cursor at the
                start. Useful for quickly retyping the command. On
                an empty command line, first recalls the most recent
                history entry (like Up), then strips its first token.
                Example: "mkdir new_folder" -> " new_folder"
                Example: empty line after "cd /home/me" -> " /home/me"

Ctrl+Alt+=      Evaluate the current command line buffer with
                Qalculate! (qalc) and print the result inline.
                Requires qalc to be installed.
                Example: type "150 * 1.08", press Ctrl+Alt+=
                         prints 162

Ctrl+Enter      Smart execute: runs commands instantly without
                pressing Enter a second time for certain fast-path
                commands (speedtest-fast, etc.).

@@              FZF inline picker. Type @ twice anywhere on the
                command line to open an fzf picker and replace the
                @@ with the selection. The @@ must be typed as its
                own token: "cat @@" triggers it, but "cat@@" does
                not.

Ctrl+Right      Accept autosuggestion one word/directory segment
                at a time. (Restores Fish 3.x behavior by binding
                to nextd-or-forward-word).
