`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

Notes on fish 2.x compatibility

The minimum recommended version of fish is v2.6, because

it has a feature called bracketed (a.k.a safe) paste which solves the problem with pasting strings containing paired symbols (they get autoclosed), see #6 for details.

The minimum required version of fish is v2.3, because

there was a bug #2210 in v2.2 which would brake quotes handling

it uses string builtin which was introduced in v2.3

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
