Ctrl+g should quit the history search

[pierrelegall]

In the new history search of Fish 3.6, Ctrl+g do nothing. However, in shells like Bash or Zsh, it quits the history search.

If fact, Ctrl+j already do the job. But you know, muscle memory...

Current behavior

Ctrl+g do nothing in the history search.

Expected behavior

Ctrl+g quits the history search.

Congrats

Fish version 3.6 is awesome, good job to the team!

I think Escape (or Control-[) has this behavior - it restores the command before history search (or are you looking to keep the search query?)
Today you can add a binding using bind \cg cancel.
I'm sympathetic towards adding this binding by default because it's a well-known Emacs chord.

If fact, Ctrl+j already do the job

this does something slightly different, it accepts the selected history item

Same behavior as Escape is perfect from my point of view ;)
