There are several places that use writestr() which should instead be
using fwprintf() or equivalent. Also, clarify the documentation for why
writestr() and writechr() exist so they aren't used inappropriately
again.
Fixes#3657
Commit 8d27f81a to change how background jobs are handled (killed rather
than left running) when the shell is exited did not correctly handle
the nested interactive context created by the `breakpoint` command. This
fixes that mistake. Now any background jobs that already existed, or were
created within the `breakpoint` context, are left running when exiting
that context.
Fish is not consistent with other shells like bash and zsh when exiting
an interactive shell with background jobs. While it is true that fish
explicitly claims no compatibility with POSIX 1003.1 this is an area
where deviation from the established practice adds negative value.
The reason for the current behavior seems to be due to two users who did
not understand why interactive shells managed background jobs as they
did and were not aware of tools like `nohup` or `disown`. See issue
There is also a fairly significant bug present due to a misunderstanding of
what a true value from `reader_exit_forced()` means. This change corrects
that misunderstanding.
Fixes#3497
If an interactive shell has its tty invalidated attempts to write to
stdout or stderr can trigger this bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20632
Avoid that by reopening the stdio streams on /dev/null if we're getting
an ENOTTY error when trying to do things like give or take ownership of
the tty.
This includes some unrelated style cleanups but including them seems
reasonable.
Fixes#3644
After 'x' is used to delete a character at the end of a line the cursor
should be repositioned at the last character, i.e. repeatedly pressing
'x' in normal mode should delete the entire string.
In the C/POSIX locale EOF on the tty wasn't handled correctly due to a change
a few months ago to fix an unrelated problem with that locale. What is
surprising is that the core fish code doesn't explicitly depend on
input_common_readch returning WEOF if a character isn't seen within
`wait_on_escape_ms` after an escape.
Fixes#3214
The recent change to reconcile the history builtin command and function
broke an undocumented behavior of `history --delete`. This change
reinstates that behavior. It also adds an explicit `--exact` search mode
for the `--search` and `--delete` subcommands.
Fixes#3270
The issue here is that when inserting a common prefix for e.g. a
substring match, we increase the amount of available candidates again to
things the user didn't want.
An example is in share/functions - a completion for "inter" would
previously expand to "__fish_" because it matched:
- __fish_config_interactive.fish
- __fish_print_interfaces.fish
- __fish_print_lpr_printers.fish
The completion afterwards would then show 189 possible matches, only
three of which (the above) actually matched the original "inter".
Fixes#3089.
Configure the tty driver to ignore the lnext (\cV) and werase (\cW) characters
so they can be bound to fish functions.
Correct the `fish_key_bindings` program to initialize the tty in the same
manner as the `fish` program.
Fixes#3064
I'm doing this as part of fixing issue #2980. The code for managing tty modes
and job control is a horrible mess. This is a very tiny step towards improving
the situation.
fish_title currently outputs some escaped text, which can confuse
the line driver (#2453). Issue a carriage return so the line driver
knows we are at the beginning of the line, unless we are writing
the title as part of the prompt. In that case, we may have text from
the previous command still on the line and we don't want to move the
cursor.
Fixes#2453
Remove the "make iwyu" build target. Move the functionality into the
recently introduced lint.fish script. Fix a lot, but not all, of the
include-what-you-use errors. Specifically, it fixes all of the IWYU errors
on my OS X server but only removes some of them on my Ubuntu 14.04 server.
Fixes#2957
The swap-selection-start-stop function goes to the other end of the highlighted text, the equivalent of `o' for vim visual mode.
Add binding to the swap-selection-start-stop function, `o' when in visual
mode.
Document swap-selection-start-stop, begin-selection, end-selection, kill-selection.
This narrows the range of Unicode codepoints fish reserves for its own
use from U+E000 thru U+F8FE (6399 codepoints) to U+F600 thru U+F73F (320
codepoints). This is still not ideal since fish shouldn't be using any
Unicode private-use codepoints but it's a step in the right direction.
This partially addresses issue #2684.
Prior to this fix, read_ni would use parse_util_detect_errors
to lint the script to run, and then parser_t::eval() to execute it.
Both functions would parse the script into a parse tree. This allows
us to re-use the parse tree, improving perfomance.
