Copy all files in the functions directory into your fish functions directory, typically ~/.config/fish/functions. Several key bindings need to be added, see key_bindings.fish for the required binding list and the bind command documentation for instructions.
Use bind | grep __symnav to check that symnav key bindings are enabled.
