I agree. But "fish" is quite strange to me, especially its way to recall history. In "Bash", I can type "^ R" and browser the history very fast. In "fish", I have to type and select with up/down array; it's not easy to browser the history randomly (FIXME).

My #Bash" history has > 96k entries (woh, believe it or not; because of this too big number, "xterm" + "screen" always stuck when exitting; but "urxvt" + "tmux" work perfectly thanks to "urxvt" daemon mode.)

Porting this huge history database from my daily "bash" to "fish" is just a nightmare ... :D
