magic-enter.fish

This plugin makes your enter key magical, by binding commonly used commands to it.

This is a pure Fish implementation of the Oh My Zsh magic-enter plugin.

Usage

Press return at an empty Fish prompt and magic-enter will run a default command. For regular directories, magic-enter will run ls. For git repositories, it will run git status -sb.

$ # change to your Fish dir
$ cd $__fish_config_dir
$ # now, just hit enter at an empty prompt, and ls will run
$
conf.d/  completions/  functions/  config.fish  fish_variables

Or, if you are in a repo, you'll see the git status:

$ # assuming you have a dotfiles git project
$ cd $HOME/.dotfiles
$ # now hit enter to run `git status -sb`
$
## main...origin/main
 M README.md

Customization

If you want to configure different magic commands, simply create your own magic-enter-cmd function. In the $__fish_config_dir/functions/magic-enter-cmd.fish file, you can add something like this:

function magic-enter-cmd --description "Customize your own magic-commands"
    # default magic command
    set --local my_magic_command 'ls -laF'
    
    # git dir magic command
    if command git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree &>/dev/null
        set my_magic_command "ls && git status"
    end
    
    # look for something else, like an .env directory
    # or whatever other magic commands you need
    # ...
    
    # be sure not to actually run the command
    # just print it out
    echo $my_magic_command
end
