This is meant to make it clear that fish cannot control the terminal
window background color. It also augments the set_color documentation to
describe how it decides which color the terminal can display.
Resolves#2421.
Resolves#2184.
The random builtin command may or may not produce values with a truly
random distribution. So make the documentation reflect that reality. Also,
make the command consistent with similar shells (e.g., bash, zsh) which
produce a range of [0..32767].
Resolves issue #1272.
* Add a note to the `--wrap` docs saying that wrapping only works when
specifying completions for commands, not for paths.
* Add more info about how `--arguments` is handled.
* Indicate which options can be repeated in the usage lines.
* Reorder the options in usage slightly to group better.
* Reorder the option descriptions to match the order as seen in usage.
* Update some of the option descriptions.
* Fix the documentation for -C to show that it must be `-CSTRING`
instead of `-C STRING`.
* Document the behavior of `-C` with no argument.
* Tweak some of the explanatory text after the option list.
* Delete `--authoritative` and `--unauthoritative` from the
documentation entirely. Those options appear to not actually do
anything in the new parser.
The special token "normal" should not be in the basic sixteen color table
because a) it is not a color, and b) it is special cased with the result of
resetting the terminal colors (usually via a ANSI X3.64 CSI [0m sequence).
This adds support for the ANSI x3.64 "bright" colors in the basic sixteen
color palette. This is especially useful when trying to use the base colors
as a background color. The "bright" variants tend to be more useful as
background colors compared to the non-bright variants.
This also fixes a bug in so far as palette number 7 is actually grey and
not white whereas palette number 15 is white. At least on the terminal
emulators on which I've tested this change (Ubuntu xterm & uxterm, Mac
OS X Terminal & iTerm2).
Resolves issue #1464.
This reduces code duplication and adds some previously unavailable
bindings that don't quite _violate_ the vi-principle (like
prevd-or-backward-word on alt-left) and matches other "impure" bindings
like \cf for forward-word (a quite emacs-ish binding) we already have.

This adds the new builtin 'string' which supports various string
manipulation and matching algorithms, including PCRE based regular
expressions.

When declaring a function using the function "function", the options must follow, not precede, the function name.
The examples demonstrate this syntax, but the synopsis previously showed the options preceding the name.
In FAQ:
> I'm seeing weird output before each prompt when using screen. What's wrong?
The command provided is
echo 'function fish_title;end' > ~/.config/fish/config.fish
Using `>` will overwrite current config.fish.
We should use `>>` instead.
Support for space-delimited abbreviations was added to the expansion
parser in fbade198; this commit extends that support to the user-facing
tools, and documents the space-separated behaviour. Equals-delimited
abbreviations are expected to be removed before the next release.
Work on #731.
--inherit-variable takes a variable name and snapshots its current
value. When the function is executed, it will have a local variable with
this value already defined. Printing the function source will include
synthesized `set -l` lines for the values.
This is primarily useful for functions that are created on the fly, such
as in `psub`.
Making `true` into a builtin is a significant optimization to `while
true` loops. As long as `true` is a builtin, we may as well make `false`
builtin as well (despite the fact that it's not typically executed in a
loop).
Apparently, in zsh, Meta+H can be used to display the manpage for
the current command. This commit adds this zsh feature to fish shell.
The F1 keybinding is left, although it's now secondary according to
fish help, as some terminal emulators don't let the user press F1 key.
re: fish-shell/fish-shell@2726712e01
As this is rendering ok in Firefox, this version should pickup the best
fonts for most browser/os variants based on 'font-stretch' support.
`.fish_left_bar` should be condensed, the main body font shouldn't.
Binds with the same sequence in multiple modes was not working right.
Fix up the implementation to propagate modes everywhere as necessary.
This means that `bind` will properly list distinct binds with the same
sequence, and `bind -e` will take mode into account properly as well.
Note that `bind -e seq` now assumes the bind is in the default bind
mode, whereas before it would erase the first binding with that sequence
regardless of mode.
`bind -e -a` still erases all binds in all modes, though `bind -M mode
-e -a` still only erases all binds in the selected mode.
<em> used to represent something else, but as far as I can tell, all
uses of <em> in the documentation today actually represent text that's
supposed to be visibly different. Notably, the documentation on
supported escapes uses <em> to indicate the letters that are a
placeholder for e.g. a hex digit, as opposed to being a literal
character.
The `--null` flag to `read` makes it split incoming lines on NUL instead
of newlines. This is intended for processing the output of a command
that uses NUL separators (such as `find -print0`).
Fixes#1694.
This font, at least under Kubuntu 14.04 and Firefox I use is rather
ugly. Anti-aliasing is wrong, and the spaces between letters are
rather random. It makes reading the documentation headings and table
of contents harder than it needs to be.
Those issues don't happen with DejaVu Sans.
This includes:
- Fixing some typos and misspellings
- Being consistent with pronouns (she/he)
- Hyphenating "built-in" and "command-line" where appropriate
Widened 'Commands' menu + fish logo
fish logo added to FAQ menu
'Commands' menu content aligned with Docs menu
'FAQ' menu content aligned and made 1st order as all entires are long
and wrap.
Major documentation cleanup and update.
- Fixes Issue #1557
- Moves entire documentation to Markdown format. Much simpler.
- Fully supports Doxygen 1.8.7+
- All documentation targets updated: user_doc, share/man, doc and
doc/refman.pdf.
- Tested across Ubuntu, CentOS and Mac OS.
See doc_src/FORMATTING.md for in depth rationale and style guide.
Doxygen 1.8.6 and lower do not have the \\htmlonly[block] directive
which fixes a multitude of problems in the rendering of the docs. In
Doxygen 1.8.7 the list of understood HTML entities was greatly
increased. I tested earlier versions and many little issues returned.
Completely fixes#1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused
it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and
generally prettier.
todo:
- trap unmarked text as arguments in context
- test & fix sed portability - see in particular. (so far tested on BSD
(Mac) and GNU sed).
- test Makefile changes
- last round of aesthetic changes and getting that ascii fish in there…
Addresses issue #1557 as well as fixing many typos, HTML errors and
inconsistencies. Also introduces automatic syntax colouring and enables
new documentation to be written in Markdown. TODO fix Tutorial.
Rework for Doxygen >1.8. Moved large parts of the documentation to a
simplified format, making use of Markdown enhancements and fixing bad
long options.
IFS is used for more than just the read builtin. Setting it to the empty
string also disables line-splitting in command substitution, and it's
done this for the past 7 years. Some day we may have a better way to do
this, but for now, document the current solution.
The docs claimed that the $HOME and $USER variables could only be
changed by the root user. This is untrue. They can be changed by
non-root users as well.
Add the --wraps option to 'complete' and 'function'. This allows a
command to (recursively) inherit the completions of a wrapped command.
Fixes#393.
When evaluating a completion, we inspect the entire "wrap chain" for a
command, i.e. we follow the sequence of wrapping until we either hit a
loop (which we silently ignore) or the end of the chain. We then
evaluate completions as if the wrapping command were substituted with
the wrapped command. Currently this only works for commands, i.e.
'complete --command gco --wraps git\ checkout' won't work (that would
seem to encroaching on abbreviations anyways). It might be useful to
show an error message for that case.
The commandline builtin reflects the commandline with the wrapped
command substituted in, so e.g. git completions (which inspect the
command line) will just work. This sort of command line munging is
also performed by 'complete -C' so it's not totally without precedent.
'alias will also now mark its generated function as wrapping the
'target.
Completely fixes#1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused
it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and
generally prettier.

Rework for Doxygen >1.8. Moved large parts of the documentation to a
simplified format, making use of Markdown enhancements and fixing bad
long options.
Enhance the `read` builtin to support creating an array with the --array
flag. With --array, only a single variable name is allowed and the
entire input is tokenized and placed into that variable as an array.
Also add custom behavior if IFS is empty or unset. In that event, split
the input on every character, instead of the previous behavior of doing
no splitting at all.
The --quiet flag is useful when only the exit status matters.
Fix the documentation for the -t flag to no longer claim that `type` can
print "keyword", as it never does that.
Stop printing a blank line for functions/builtins when the -p flag has
been passed. It's just not useful.
The mode restricts the scope in which the variable is searched for.
Use this new restricted scope functionality in the `set` builtin. This
fixes `set -g` to not show local shadowing variable values, and also
allows for scoped erasing of slices.
Presently, `isatty` only works on a handful of keywords. Here it
is rewritten to be able to take any path, device or fd number as
an argument, and eliminates errors printed to stdout.
Per discussion in #1228, using `builtin test -c` within a pipe to
test special file descriptors is not viable, so this implementation
specifcially uses `command test`. Additionally, a note has been
added to the documentation of `test` regarding this potential
aberration from the expected output of the test utility under the
'Standards' section.
plus speling in documentation for bind.
Note that this commit does not re-enable the generation of the manpage for
test, which will therefore still fall through to the system manual page with
`man test`.
Large list of changes, including formatting and typos for most commands.
More substantive changes have been made to alias, bind, block, break,
builtin, case, cd, commandline, count, else, emit, fish_config, funced,
function, functions, history, math, mimedb, nextd, not, popd, prevd,
pushd, pwd, random, read, set, set_color, switch, test, trap, type,
ulimit, umask, and while.
- Clarify wording in functions section
- Use the term aliases rather than wrappers
- Clarification of concepts and better? examples in variable expansion
- Likewise in environment variables
- Using the phrase builtin commands rather than builtins
- Tidy up keybindings a bit
- Another example in the history section
- Remove TODO section in favour of mailing list, GitHub and IRC link
