shell - Ctrl-F no longer works to accept suggestions. Why? -

i enabled vi mode adding fish_vi_mode config. since did ctrl+f no longer works complete suggestions, have use right arrow instead.

the keybindings forward-char same or without fish_vi_mode enabled. according fish_config, are:

forward-char    right arrow forward-char    right arrow forward-char    ctrl - f

why doesn't ctrl+f work fish_vi_mode enabled?

in vi mode, run bind , \cf, it's here:

bind -m insert \cf forward-word

that's what's going on: control-f going forward word. can restore non-vi behavior:

bind -m insert \cf forward-char

which go forward 1 character, or accept autosuggestion if cursor @ end (which admittedly sort of weird).

or if want accept autosuggestion, can run after fish_vi_mode:

bind -m insert \cf accept-autosuggestion

now accepts autosuggestion @ point, not @ end.

btw, these functions accept-autosuggestion or forward-char can listed via bind --function-names

edit: harder ought due #2254. simplest thing put call fish_vi_mode in fish_user_key_bindings function:

function fish_user_key_bindings     fish_vi_mode     bind -m insert \cf accept-autosuggestion     bind \cf accept-autosuggestion end

you can use funced fish_user_key_bindings write function, , funcsave fish_user_key_bindings save it.
