vim-fish-syntax
Syntax and ftplugin files for fish shell scripts
Installation
I recommend the native packages support built into Vim8 and NeoVim, but you can use any plugin manager you like.
Features aplenty
- Syntax highlighting and filetype detection, of course.
- Code formatting with
fish_indent. - Fold expressions for automatic folding.
- Omni-complete from fish using the
^X^Ocommand. - Comment strings & matchit patterns.
For everything above to work you need to have fish installed in $PATH
and some Vim features turned on. First, tell Vim to use the syntax and
filetype functionality, normally in your ~/.vimrc:
syntax enable
filetype plugin indent on
The above commands are required only for Vim and not for NeoVim.
Teach a Vim to fish...
Vim needs a more POSIX compatible shell than fish for certain
functionality to work, such as :%!, compressed help pages and many
third-party addons. If you use fish as your login shell or launch Vim
from fish, you need to set shell to something else in your vimrc,
for example:
if &shell =~# 'fish$'
set shell=sh
endif
Best do it somewhere at the top, before any addon code is loaded and executed.
