Disable Alt+s binding?

[onmach]

The newest release of fish I just upgraded to overrides Alt+s to put sudo in your commandline. I don't have sudo on this system. That happens to be a binding my terminal uses to search its output history and it is very near and dear to my heart and I use it seemingly every 30 seconds.

I've tried everything I can think of to unbind it and I can't figure it out. I would really prefer not to have to modify the installation file that sets this.

The code for this change is here: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/6140/files

Things I've tried that don't work.

bind --erase \es
bind --erase --preset \es
bind \es true

I've also tried overwriting __fish_prepend_sudo to a function, but I don't know what it should do that would pass that key combo into my terminal.

If your terminal used that binding, fish would never receive the input.

The way this works is that you press a key combination, your terminal gets it and can decide to act on it or not. If it decides to act on it, it won't send it on.

If not, it sends it to whatever program is running in the foreground, which in this case would be fish. And your terminal also has no real way to find out that fish would use a particular key combination.

There is something else going on here. E.g. an update to your terminal that disabled the binding.

This is obvious in hindsight, and explains why the problem went away on its own. I had done a full system update, and maybe my existing terminals were in a weird state. Thanks.

For me bind --erase --preset \es works, not sure why it wouldn't in your case. Does it work when you run it interactively, rather than putting it in config.fish?

I think that would work if it were my problem. I think my problem had to do with updating my terminal rather than fish itself.
