Description

As we all know, !! is a frequently asked for feature, but 99.7% of the time it's specifically for sudo !!, which is just a super awkward interface.

This makes it so that __fish_prepend_sudo uses the previous commandline if the current commandline is empty, so we finally win on keystrokes against sudo !!. Truly that is the most important metric.

TODOs:

  • Changes to fish usage are reflected in user documentation/manpages.
  • Tests have been added for regressions fixed
  • User-visible changes noted in CHANGELOG.rst

Currently, if you press alt+s with an empty commandline, it inserts
"sudo", which seems fairly useless.

Now, it inserts "sudo " followed by the last history entry, which
makes it a replacement for `sudo !!`.

I think fish already does, because Alt+S is three keystrokes while just typing sudo is already four.

But probably a good idea to make it even shorter 😃
