pisces ☯ 双鱼

pisces ['paɪsiz] is a plugin for fish that helps you to work with paired symbols like () and '' in the command line. Similar to your favorite text editor!

Features

Here | denotes the current cursor position. No manual cursor motion involved ✨

• autocloses pair symbol: ... | + ( ⇒ ... (|)
• skips the closing symbol: ...|) + ) ⇒ ... )|
• removes empty pairs: ...([|]) + backspace ⇒ ...(|) + backspace ⇒ ...|
• the set of pairs is configurable (see below)

Installation

• Using Fisher:

  fisher install laughedelic/pisces

• Using oh-my-fish:

  omf install pisces

  Notice that you will need to restart fish to get this new installation working. This is specific to the way oh-my-fish handles installation.

Configuration

Only completing at the end of the line

To disable completing pairs unless the cursor is at the end of the line, set the $pisces_only_insert_at_eol variable:

set -U pisces_only_insert_at_eol 1

Changing the set of pairs

You can set the $pisces_pairs universal variable and launch a new fish session to reload key bindings:

set -U pisces_pairs $pisces_pairs '<,>' '`,`' '«,»'

Note that at the moment pisces works correctly only with single-symbol delimiters.

The default set of pairs:

• (,) parenthesis
• [,] brackets
• {,} braces
• "," double quotes
• ',' single quotes
