On: Fish: Finally, a command line shell for the 90s

[aaronsw]

Presumably because fish hasn't been updated since 2009 and they expect their fork to become the new standard version.

"Welcome to our fork of the fish shell, a command line shell like bash. Its working name is fishfish, but I hope eventually it will just be fish!"

Obvious joke is obvious, but he could have called it the Unno Fish Shell?

Looks interesting. I expect my fingers will be even more confused than ever switching machines now (they've never learned that Alt-3 isn't # on linux or that middle-click isn't paste in Putty)

[andrewaylett → bazzargh]

There's no reason middle-click shouldn't be paste on PuTTY -- it's a configuration option.

That one always bites me at other people's desks; I'd figure out how to reconfigure it if it was mine. But there's always something jarring like that when you switch between similar-but-not-quite-the-same environments.

i've gotten to the point where i can subconciously key off the window chrome to know how to paste. (half my coworkers use xterm, the other half putty.)
