readline-like history search for fish

kontrolleurs

A readline-like history search for fish. kontrolleurs is a port of kontrolleur to Rust. Mostly only exists because the curtsies package was broken in nixpkgs for macOS.

Why? fish has a built-in history search

True! This wasn't the case though when kontrolleur was first created. Plus, I personally prefer a different kind of search, if only because of muscle memory.

Installation

Nix

Add kontrolleurs as input to your flake:

inputs.kontrolleurs = {
  url = "github:Trundle/kontrolleurs";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

To make kontrolleurs and kontrolleurs-fish available in pkgs, you also need to add kontrolleur's default overlay to your nixpkgs.

NixOS

Untested, so please let me know if the following doesn't work: Either use wrapFish or add kontrolleurs-fish to your system packages and enable programs.fish.enable, programs.fish.vendor.config.enable and programs.fish.vendor.functions.enable.

home-manager

home-manager uses a structure for fish plugins that differs from nixpkgs's buildFishPlugin, so adding kontrolleurs-fish to programs.fish.plugins won't work. You can work around with programs.fish.interactiveShellInit though:

programs.fish = {
  enable = true;
  interactiveShellInit = ''
    source ${pkgs.kontrolleurs-fish}/share/fish/vendor_conf.d/*.fish
    set fish_function_path $fish_function_path[1] ${pkgs.kontrolleurs-fish}/share/fish/vendor_functions.d $fish_function_path[2..-1]
  '';
};

The above snippet assumes you added kontrolleur's default overlay.
