    I used bash for 20 years and, while I obviously knew that there were alternatives, it never seemed necessary to switch. Tried fish on a whim a few months ago and I will never go back.

      Do you know if fish can input arguments from prevous commands like ESC + . does in bash?

        Like Alt-.? (/ Alt - > ).

        Easier in reach, and can cycle through.

        I’ve not got that in my muscle memory yet… so rarely used… had to look that up. Handy. Should use more.

          Yes exactly. I couldn’t find it on the fish online docs. Alt-. apparently also work in bash, so i should just not use the ESC version. I use it a lot for renaming and moving files. Thanks.
