• Fish shell.

    I first heard about the fish shell about a week ago, when I came across
    a description of it on YouTube:

    It is available in the repos, and the commands to install it are
    available, both written and video, e.g.:

    It is claimed to be easier to use. It can be installed system-wide, or
    only for those users that want it. I have been using it for about half
    a day. Most of the Bash commands work as before. The prompts look a
    bit different, and there is a pattern of colors for various types of
    text. Strings for a lengthy path statement for a file are shortened.
    I used Ctrl+C to terminate a program, and at the end of the next
    prompt, just before the ">", it printed [SIGINT] in red.

    I think that for my needs, Bash is adequate, but others might be interested.

    Doug.
