2-year old issue proof: • https://github.com/justinmayer/tackle/issues/3 Tackle support for "modules" and "function" snippets in Fisherman proof: • https://github.com/fisherman/fisherman/blob/master/functions... ⁣⁣ I exhort you to demonstrate my comment was false. ⁣ Bonus Points ⁣⁣ PRs are ignored for months: • https://github.com/justinmayer/tackle/pull/16 Issues are left unanswered for months: • https://github.com/justinmayer/tackle/issues/14 ⁣ All I am saying is, if you need first-class support for your fisheries, Fisherman is the man for the job, not Tackle. But hey, Fish is great out of the box and you don't really need anything to get up and running :)

For ease of installation, you can also get Z as a plugin from my Tacklebox/Tackle projects: https://github.com/justinmayer/tackle

As you noted, avoiding arcane magical characters is a primary design goal for Fish. But the alternative you mention — using the cursor keys — is indeed cumbersome and not at all what Fish users would normally do. In my case, I added a "sdl" command (for "sudo last") as a plugin for my Tacklebox and Tackle projects: https://github.com/justinmayer/tacklebox https://github.com/justinmayer/tackle/blob/master/plugins/sd... Some may feel that these kinds of functions should be built-in, and if so, that's probably where the philosophical divide lies. For me and many others, avoiding esoteric syntax makes it easy to compose small snippets that accomplish precisely what we want, without having to remember unintuitive special characters or deal with their often-idiosyncratic behavior.

Totally agree with this. As someone with a commit bit to the project, as well as a long-time user, I'd like to second the recommendation. Pixz is a terrific parallel XZ compression/expansion tool. I find it indispensable for logs and database backups.

As with most things, this probably began as a communication problem between Jorge and Bruno, and it quickly went south from there. https://github.com/wa/wahoo/issues/95 If you'd like to try a Fish shell framework with a bit less drama, my I suggest my alternative?

While we're on the topic of non-bash shells, I recommend taking a look at Fish: http://fishshell.com/ I wrote a tutorial on how to install it on Mac OS X and Ubuntu: http://hackercodex.com/guide/install-fish-shell-mac-ubuntu/ For me, the chief advantage to Fish is that you get more functionality out-of-the-box than with most other shells, including zsh. I also published two related projects for easily sharing Fish shell enhancements — Tacklebox https://github.com/justinmayer/tacklebox and Tackle https://github.com/justinmayer/tackle) — because I wanted a way for folks to be able to have access to multiple plugin repositories and easily share their favorite shell snippets.
