Fish Shell 4.4 Released With Vi Mode Improvements and New Themes

https://linuxiac.com/fish-shell-4-4-released-with-vi-mode-improvements-and-new-themes/

Fish, a popular user-friendly command-line shell, has announced version 4.4, a new release that builds on the 4.0 series.

One notable change is the deprecation of the default fossil prompt, which is now disabled. Interactive behavior has also been refined in several areas.

The bind builtin now lists mappings from all modes when --mode is not specified, making keybinding inspection more predictable. Fish no longer displays line-wise autosuggestions that do not begin with a command, reducing visual noise during input.

By the way, if you hit alt+E on the command line, the currently written command can be edited with your favorite editor. So you can edit it literally in Helix if you'd like. But it won't be a proper "mode", of course.

It would probably be better to call it "Kakoune mode", as that's where most of the Helix keybindings come from, but I agree nevertheless.
