Vi key bindings don't work when set in config.fish

[euclio]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add the line fish_vi_key_bindings to ~/.config/fish/config.fish.
2. Open fish. The shell won't respond to any keys (including i, a, etc.), so I can't type anything into the prompt.

The key bindings work as expected when I open the shell without this line in my config, and instead call fish_vi_key_bindings in the shell.

Try putting fish_vi_key_bindings to the 'fish_user_key_bindings' function instead of config.fish

[euclio]

That'll do it. Thanks for the help!

I think this should definitely be in the FAQ.

I have to come in this issue to found in http://fishshell.com/docs/current/commands.html#bind

Key bindings are not saved between sessions by default. To save custom keybindings, edit the fish_user_key_bindings function and insert the appropriate bind statements.

A helpfull FAQ would be :

How to start with vi mode ?

edit $HOME/.config/fish/functions/fish_user_key_bindings.fish

function fish_user_key_bindings
  fish_vi_key_bindings
end
