if you want `fish_config` opens up an easy editor for changing all the colors to whatever you find quiet and soothing.

You have a level of control over things popping up too

Quite a few things can't be disabled; for example AFAIK it doesn't offer a way to disable the autocomplete altogether, or the "fuzzy" matching. I really dislike these things. Fish is a great shell, but very opinionated which is great if your preferences align with that, and not-so-great if they don't. Which is fine because it makes the project better for those who do want these things, and not every project needs to cater to everyone.

This comment is so reasonable I’m getting a contact high of pragmatism.
