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.
A long standing issue is that bindings cannot mix special input functions
and shell commands. For example,
bind x end-of-line "commandline -i x"
silently does nothing. Instead we have to do lift everything to shell commands
bind x "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
for no good reason.
Additionally, there is a weird ordering difference between special input
functions and shell commands. Special input functions are pushed into the
the queue whereas shell commands are executed immediately.
This weird ordering means that the above "bind x" still doesn't work as
expected, because "commandline -i" is processed before "end-of-line".
Finally, this is all implemented via weird hack to allow recursive use of
a mutable reference to the reader state.
Fix all of this by processing shell commands the same as both special input
functions and regular chars. Hopefully this doesn't break anything.

Call fish_should_add_to_history to see if a command should be saved
If it returns 0, it will be saved, if it returns anything else, it
will be ephemeral.
It gets the right-trimmed text as the argument.
If it doesn't exist, we do the historical behavior of checking for a
leading space.
That means you can now turn that off by defining a
`fish_should_add_to_history` that just doesn't check it.

Issue #10194 reports Cobra completions do
set -l args (commandline -opc)
eval $args[1] __complete $args[2..] (commandline -ct | string escape)
The intent behind "eval" is to expand variables and tildes in "$args".
Fair enough. Several of our own completions do the same, see the next commit.
The problem with "commandline -o" + "eval" is that the former already
removes quotes that are relevant for "eval". This becomes a problem if $args
contains quoted () or {}, for example this command will wrongly execute a
command substituion:
git --work-tree='(launch-missiles)' <TAB>
It is possible to escape the string the tokens before running eval, but
then there will be no expansion of variables etc. The problem is that
"commandline -o" only unescapes tokens so they end up in a weird state
somewhere in-between what the user typed and the expanded version.
Remove the need for "eval" by introducing "commandline -x" which expands
things like variables and braces. This enables custom completion scripts to
be aware of shell variables without eval, see the added test for completions
to "make -C $var/some/dir ".
This means that essentially all third party scripts should migrate from
"commandline -o" to "commandline -x". For example
set -l tokens
if commandline -x >/dev/null 2>&1
set tokens (commandline -xpc)
else
set tokens (commandline -opc)
end
Since this is mainly used for completions, the expansion skips command
substitutions. They are passed through as-is (instead of cancelling or
expanding to nothing) to make custom completion scripts work reasonably well
in the common case. Of course there are cases where we would want to expand
command substitutions here, so I'm not sure.
