that's a command line editor tho fish is a shell?
Blesh adds a lot of functionality that makes bash feel + act like a fancier neoshell, while keeping the same syntax. Also includes a pre-exec hook, which vanilla bash notably lacks.
Highly recommend.
Yes, but "command line editor" is a confusing term. For me it's "get features of a fancy shell in pure bash".
