Fish 4.4.0 released
The latest version of Fish Shell, 4.4.0, has brought several useful tweaks to everyday use. Key upgrades include Vi-mode word motions that now behave like Vim, with improvements such as treating underscores as separators and allowing counts in operator mode. Other notable changes include new "catppuccin-*" color themes, an improved "bind" builtin for listing mappings from all modes, and cleaner autosuggestions that suppress line-wise suggestions without starting a command. While some features feel unnecessary, such as the strikethrough modifier for set_color, the overall update makes daily use feel smoother with its Vi-mode improvements and cleaner interface.
