I saw vi-mode implementation for fish shell, but I have no clue how to use it. Is there any tutorial available online describing basic functionality, e.g. how to switch modes?

How do I enable vi mode in fish?

To enable vi mode, use fish_vi_key_bindings . When in vi-mode, the fish_mode_prompt function will display a mode indicator to the left of the prompt.

How do I enable vi mode in bash?

The bash shell (again, via GNU Readline) is able to provide this functionality for us. In order to enable it, you run the command $ set -o vi.

How do I set the default shell on my fish?

If you wish to use fish (or any other shell) as your default shell, you need to enter your new shell's executable /usr/local/bin/fish in two places: add /usr/local/bin/fish to /etc/shells. change your default shell with chsh -s to /usr/local/bin/fish.

In fish 2.3.0 and later:

  • Run fish_vi_key_bindings to start vi mode
  • Run fish_default_key_bindings to go back to default mode

If you want to make it the default, add the fish_vi_key_bindings command to ~/.config/fish/config.fish.
