c921c124ef docs: use canonical key names in :kbd: tags
This seems a bit better because it's what bind uses.  To makes sure that
something like :kbd:`ctrl-x` looks good in HTML, remove the border from the
kbd style.  Else both "ctrl" and "x" get small boxes which looks weird.

bec8e8df05 docs/faq: Remove external tools
This was always extremely weasel-wordy and I have no idea which one
here is a good choice.

OMF is basically inactive at this point, so we might be doing people a
disservice by linking to it.

38b24c2325 docs: Use :doc: role when linking to commands
This makes it so we link to the very top of the document instead of a
special anchor we manually include.

So clicking e.g. :doc:`string <cmds/string>` will link you to
cmds/string.html instead of cmds/string.html#cmd-string.

I would love to have a way to say "this document from the root of the
document path", but that doesn't appear to work, I tried
`/cmds/string`.

So we'll just have to use cmds/string in normal documents and plain
`string` from other commands.

670636885c docs: Made the abort/edit history feature more discoverable.
First, I changed "the escape key" to :kbd:`Esc`. This makes this information
easier to find when scanning the docs because it stands out and because it is
more consistent with the docs's formatting of keyboard keys.

Additionally, emphasize that escape/page-down can be used to edit
the original search sting.

Finally, I added a link from the FAQ to history-search to make this mechanism
easier to discover.

This was all to address confusion in former zsh and bash users as to how to
edit a search that is in progress, but this will also help new users. See

21f5032a55 docs: Don't speak of "initialization files"
The file is called "config.fish", not "init.fish". We'll call it
"configuration" now.

"Initialization" might be slightly more precise, but in an irritating
way.

Also some wording improvements to the section. In particular we now
mention config.fish *early*, before the whole shebang.

That prepend-sudo note was a bit awkward. I'm still not super happy
with it, but it should be better.

Also remove the "simple but effective" comment.

Let __fish_prepend_sudo use the last commandline if there is no current one (#7079)
* docs/faq: Mention prepend_sudo

[ci skip]

* __fish_prepend_sudo: Use $history[1] if commandline is empty

Currently, if you press alt+s with an empty commandline, it inserts
"sudo", which seems fairly useless.

Now, it inserts "sudo " followed by the last history entry, which
makes it a replacement for `sudo !!`.
