On Ubuntu 18.04 I've changed my shell to fish via
chsh -s `which fish`
I've installed Maillspring and Visual Studio Code snap apps, they installed fine and could be launched from the dash initially, but after logging in and logging back out none of them showed up in the dash anymore.
Searching for them in software store shows that are installed and I can launch them from there.
Why will the default shell matter for this?
Simple question, I'd like to remove the time stamp on the right hand side of the fish shell terminal screen:
On a sidenote, it would be even better to know how to customize it as in the image below:
I am trying to figure out how this guys manage to have the status line at the bottom of fish-shell as he shared here.

I setup powerline using instruction from this question
How can I install and use powerline plugin?
Thanks!
I have recently been trying out fish shell, but one thing I keep running into is fish's lack of the !! command/builtin.
I cannot seem to find a good alternative or replacement for fish. Does one exist?
From the answers to my other question here i learned about the possibility to pass commandline arguments to a alias function in Bash.
In Fish i can edit an alias by editing the file config.fish in ~/.config/fish directory and adding a line like this
alias lsp='ls -ah --color=always | less -R;'
and it works perfectly. This should be the equivalent to editing ~/.bash_aliases in bash
But when i try to setup an alias function to pass arguments like this
alias lsp='_(){ ls -ah --color=always $* | less -R; }; _'
it doesn't work for fish?
Are there any differences between fish and bash in the way to setup an alias to pass commandline arguments that prevent this second alias from working with fish instead of bash?
