Bind shift-tab to complete-backward in fish
I found myself using the auto-complete functionality of the fish-shell, where pressing tab twice or more cycles through the suggestions. But then I accidentaly pressed tab once to many, and I wanted to go back to the previous suggestion, so I pressed shift-tab, which only appended [z
to the command.
For example, when I type cd D
tabtab:
~> cd Desktop/
I press tab, result:
~> cd Documents/
Now when I press <shift+tab>
, the prompt changes to ~> cd Documents/[Z
instead of returning to the desired:
~> cd Desktop/
How do I do this (preferably using the fish_user_key_bindings.fish
file)? The documentation only provides the special function complete
.
As you said "The documentation only provides the special function complete" . you can't go back to previews suggestion because this feature isn't implemented .
but for defining a new binding you have to use fish_user_key_binding function NOT .fish file : open your configuration file
~/.config/fish/config.fish
and add :
function fish_user_key_bindings
bind [Z complete
end
- restart your fish , this well bind shift+tab for complete
