====== Fish Shell ======
Created Sunday 21 August 2016

Some notes for the Fish shell which may become my main one.

**Using bc program**

The bc program is used to calculate maths. One suggestion is to add the following to the config file:

function bc; command bc -l $argd; end

I have tried it out in the terminal screen, but not yet in the config file.


**Printf**

This works in Fish. However, to get the thousands marker to work, use as command printf

example command printf "%'.4\n" 45688.789789 will produce

45,688.7898

Note that is this situation printf will round the last figure, which is just as wanted.
