What Hacker News says?
Yay, I am specifically waiting for "New `fish_preexec` and `fish_postexec` events are fired before and after job execution respectively" [0] It allows to implement something like undistract-me [1] for fish.

HN discussionI would like to have UndistractMe [0] for fish. However, I am not sure if it is possible to hook into or wrap command execution. You know a command has finished, when a new prompt is shown. However, how do you start the clock? Tried posting this to the fish mailinglist, but moderation pending for weeks now.
