Friendly Interactive Shell (fish)
A Sublime Text package for the friendly interactive shell. It features a robust syntax highlighting scheme that mimics the native highlighting behaviour of fish.
The package currently supports up to fish version: 3.4
Note: ST3 support will cease in a future release. ST2 support is capped at fish 2.7 with a limited set of the following features.
Features
- Snippets for common constructs.
- Extensive syntax highlighting:
- Compatibility highlighter: Code that is incompatible with the targeted version of fish is outlined.
- Path highlighter: Paths to existing files are underlined, just like in the fish shell.
- Indent and prettify: Reformat the active file with
fish_indent:- Use
ctrl+alt+ior your build system shortcut (eg,ctrl+b). - Optional setting to run automatically when file is saved.

Branches and releases
Support for different ST major versions is separated between several branches:
master: Plugins compatible with ST4, and syntax provides highlighting for fish versions 2.7 and up.st3: Plugins compatible with ST3 and above (via backwards compatibility features), and syntax provides highlighting for fish versions 2.7 and up.st2: Plugins only compatible with ST2, syntax uses the more limitedtmLanguagescheme instead ofsublime-syntax, and provides highlighting for fish 2.7 only.
The particular fish major version supported by a tagged release is indicated by the version number:
- The 2.x.x series (on
st2andst3) only supports fish 2.7. - The 3.x.x series (on
st3andmaster) includes support for fish 3.0 and beyond.
Contribution
Requirements:
- PackageDev, only for ST2 development and changing the
tmPreferencesfile.
ST2 development: The source file of the syntax is fish.YAML-tmLanguage. When editing this file, "compile" it with the PackageDev build system to automatically generate the fish.tmLanguage file which is used by Sublime Text 2.
ST3+ development: The source file of the syntax is fish.sublime-syntax.

History
The first Sublime Text fish syntax highlighter was by toru hamaguchi. When that project became unmaintained, @Phidica fully rewrote the schema and replaced the links on Package Control.
