@@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ Interactive improvements
 - Instead of flashing all the text to the left of the cursor, fish now flashes the matched token during history token search, the completed token during completion (:issue:`11050`), the autosuggestion when deleting it, and the full command line in all other cases.
 - Pasted commands are now stripped of any ``$`` prefix.
 - The :kbd:`alt-s` binding will now also use ``run0`` if available.
+- ``funced`` will now edit copied functions directly, instead of the file where ``function --copy`` was invoked. (:issue:`11614`)
