fzf + fish shell not working as expected?

[Ncage1974]

So i'm just getting started with fzf. I am using the fish shell (maybe that is my issue):
when i do anything ** this is what happens (ls **)):

so it just list all the files in that directory & every directory below it. Is this because i'm using fish shell or is there something else i'm doing wrong?

Thanks....

We don't provide fuzzy completion for fish, only for bash and zsh.

@junegunn thanks. I appreciate the fast reply Wasn't sure how supported the fish shell was. I love fish but this might just push me over the edge to go back to zsh. There is just to many compatibility issues with fish.

have you tried setting up ctrl-T integration for fish? This offers the same functionality (at least for me) as **<Tab>
