User-friendly shell with vi mode, fzf integration, and extensive aliases

Overview

Fish is the shell of choice for both contributors. Unlike bash/zsh, Fish works well out of the box with autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, and tab completions. ratataque's config uses vi mode with extensive fzf integration and Wayland-specific environment variables.

Core Config

# Suppress greeting
set fish_greeting
 
# Editor
set EDITOR nvim
set -gx EDITOR nvim

Vi Mode

Fish is configured with vi keybindings and cursor shape indicators:

fish_vi_key_bindings
 
if status is-interactive
    fish_vi_key_bindings
 
    # Cursor shapes for vi modes
    set fish_cursor_default block blink
    set fish_cursor_insert line blink
    set fish_cursor_replace_one underscore blink
    set fish_cursor_visual block
end
 
# Bash-style !! and !$ in vi mode
bind -Minsert ! __history_previous_command
bind -Minsert '$' __history_previous_command_arguments

FZF Integration

Extensive fzf bindings in insert mode:

# FZF settings
set -U FZF_CD_WITH_HIDDEN_COMMAND "fd -H -u --type d --exclude node_modules . \$dir"
set -U FZF_OPEN_COMMAND "fd -H -u --type f --exclude node_modules . \$dir"
set -U FZF_TMUX 1
set -U FZF_ENABLE_OPEN_PREVIEW 0
 
# Keybindings (insert mode)
bind -M insert \cf '__fzf_cd --hidden'    # Ctrl+F: cd with fzf
bind -M insert \t __fzf_complete          # Tab: fzf completion
 
bind -M insert \ed lazydocker             # Alt+D: lazydocker
bind -M insert \e. "vim ."                # Alt+.: vim in current dir
bind -M insert \ee vim                    # Alt+E: vim
bind -M insert \er yazi                   # Alt+R: yazi file manager
 
# Pacman with fzf
bind -M insert \ea "pacman -Slq | fzf --multi --preview 'pacman -Si {1}' | xargs -ro sudo pacman -S"
bind -M insert \ez "pacman -Qq | fzf --multi --preview 'pacman -Qi {1}' | xargs -ro sudo pacman -Rns"
