This is fairly subtle.
When installable, and we either can't find the version file or it is
outdated, we ask the user to confirm installation (just like `--install`).
We do that only if we are really truly interactive (with a tty!) to
avoid `fish -c` running into problems.
This check could be tightened even more, because currently:
```fish
fish -ic 'echo foo'
```
asks, while
```fish
fish -ic 'echo foo' < /dev/null
```
does not.
`fish -c` will still error out if it can't find the config, but it
will just run if it is out of date.
These are another way to spell the same thing that doesn't match what
`bind` would print.
They're also not documented and tested thoroughly.
Since they are just small shortcuts and unreleased we can just remove
them.
Fixes#10845
alt-e restores the cursor position received from the editor, moving by
one character at a time. This can be super slow on large commandlines,
even on release builds. Let's fix that by setting the coordinates
directly.
Part of #1842
It's like jump-to-matching-bracket, but jumps right before the bracket
I will use it to mimic vi 'ab' and 'ib' text objects in the next commit
Given complicated semantics of jump-till-matching-bracket, an alternative name
could be 'jump-inside-matching-brackets'. But that would make names non-symmetrical.
I'm not sure what is worse.
Add round options, but I think can also add floor, ceiling, etc. And
the default mode is trunc.

fish_add_path can be used either interactively, in the commandline,
or in config.fish. That's its greatest strength, it's a very
DWIM-style command.
One of the compromises that entails, however, is that it can't really
be very loud about what it does. If it skips a path, it can't write a
warning because it might be used in config.fish.
But it *can* if it's used interactively. So we try to detect that case
and enable verbose mode automatically.
That means if you do
```fish
fish_add_path /opt/mytool/bin/mytool
```
it may tell you "Skipping path because it is a file instead of a
directory:".
The check isn't perfect, it goes through status current-command and
isatty, but it should be good for most cases (and be false in config.fish).
Use "directories" explicitly instead of "components" to make it more
clear that the arguments need to be directories, not files.
Also a bit on intent and variable scope.
This allows running `set` without triggering any event handlers.
That is useful, for example, if you want to set a variable in an event
handler for that variable - we could do it, for example, in the
fish_user_path or fish_key_bindings handlers.
This is something the `block` builtin was supposed to be for, but it
never really worked because it only allows suppressing the event for
the duration, they would fire later. See #9030.
Because it is possible to abuse this, we only have a long-option so
that people see what is up.
This allows making something like
```fish
abbr --add gc --position anywhere --command git back 'reset --hard
HEAD^'
```
to expand "gc" to "reset --hard HEAD^", but only if the command is
git (including "command git gc" or "and git gc").
Fixes#9411
This introduces a feature flag, "test-require-arg", that removes builtin test's zero and one argument special modes.
That means:
- `test -n` returns false
- `test -z` returns true
- `test -x` with any other option errors out with "missing argument"
- `test foo` errors out as expecting an option
`test -n` returning true is a frequent source of confusion, and so we are breaking with posix in this regard.
As always the flag defaults to off and can be turned on. In future it will default to on and then eventually be made read-only.
There is a new FLOG category "deprecated-test", run `fish -d deprecated-test` and it will show any test call that would change in future.
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.
When writing scripts for other shells, it can be confusing and annoying
that our `man` function shadows other manual pages, for example `exec(1p)`
from [Linux man-pages]. I almost never want to see the fish variant for such
contended cases (which obviuosly don't include fish-specific commands like
`string`, only widely-known shell builtins).
For the contented cases like `exec`, the POSIX documentation is more
substantial and useful, since it describes a (sub)set of languages widely
used for scripting.
Because of this I think we should stop overriding the system's man pages.
Nowadays we offer `exec -h` as intuitive way to show the documentation for
the fish-specific command (note that `help` is not a good replacement because
it uses a web browser).
Looking through the contended commands, it seems like for most of them,
the fish version is not substantially different from the system version.
A notable exception is `read` but I don't think it's a very important one.
So I think we should can sacrifice a bit of the native fish-scripting
experience in exchange for playing nicer with other shells. I think the
latter is more important because scripting is not our focus, the way I see it.
So maybe put our manpath at the end.
In lieu of that, let's at least have `exec.rst` reference the system variant.

Popular operating systems support shift-delete to delete the selected item
in an autocompletion widgets. We already support this in the history pager.
Let's do the same for up-arrow history search.

This makes them more convenient to use interactively, similar to the existing
\c and \a versions. The resulting bind output keeps using the canonical
ctrl/alt version.
Not sure about s- because that's somewhat ambiguous, it could be "super".
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
To do so add an ad-hoc "commandline --search-field" to operate on pager
search field.
This is primarily motivated because a following commit reuses the
fish_clipboard_paste logic for bracketed paste. This avoids a regression.
