How to add keybindings in fish

Keybindings are really useful and save time.. this is how you utilize them in Fish terminal!

Where they live

Fish keybindings live in a separate file which may need to be created.

micro ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_user_key_bindings.fish

Adding keybindings

You can then just add your kebindings to this file and they will work by default

bind \t forward-word

Thanks for reading!
