This allows us to get the terminfo information without linking against curses.
That means we can get by without a bunch of awkward C-API trickery.
There is no global "cur_term" kept by a library for us that we need to invalidate.
Note that it still requires a "unhashed terminfo database", and I don't know how well it handles termcap.
I am not actually sure if there are systems that *can't* have terminfo, everything I looked at
has the ncurses terminfo available to install at least.
... even if the file hasn't changed. This addresses an oddity in the following
case:
* Shell is started,
* function `foo` is sourced from foo.fish
* foo.fish is *externally* edited and saved
* <Loaded definition of `foo` is now stale, but fish is unaware>
* `funced foo` loads `type -p foo` showing changed definition, user exits
$EDITOR saving no changes (or with $status 0, more generally).
* Stale definition of `foo` remains
If a hostname starts with a dash `-` character, the prompt_hostname function
fails because the `string` function interprets it as an option instead
of an argument.
We still don't support tabs but as of the parent commit, there are no more
weird glitches, so it should be fine to recall those lines?
This reverts commit cc0e366037.
Inserting Tab or Backspace characters causes weird glitches. Sometimes it's
useful to paste tabs as part of a code block.
Render tabs as "␉" and so on for other ASCII control characters, see
https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/control-pictures/. This fixes the
width-related glitches.
You can see it in action by inserting some control characters into the
command line:
set chars
for x in (seq 1 0x1F)
set -a chars (printf "%02x\\\\x%02x" $x $x)
end
eval set chars $chars
commandline -i "echo '" $chars
Fixes#6923Fixes#5274Closes#7295
We could extend this approach to display a fallback symbol for every unknown
nonprintable character, not just ASCII control characters.
In future we might want to support tab properly.
This reserved 64, which is *gigantic*.
Over all of share/**.fish, 75% of lists are empty, 99.97% are 16
elements or fewer.
Reducing this to 16 reduces memory usage for a gigantic example
script (git.fish pasted a bunch of times for a total of almost 100k
lines) by ~10% and speeds up "--no-execute" time by the same amount.
For smaller scripts it's less noticeable simply because parse time
matters less.
There are other options, like creating the vec ::with_capacity, or
using 8 instead of 16, or even letting the vec just grow
naturally (rust's vec currently grows from 0 to 4 and then doubles,
which isn't terrible for this use), but the point is that 64 is
wasteful and never comes out on top, always in the last two places
comparing a bunch of choices.
Makes it possible to use the sanitizers again.
Note that this requires RUSTFLAGS to be set when running CMake, and will not be
updated when running the build system if the environment variable changes.
Fish functions are great for configuring fish but they don't integrate
seamlessly with the rest of the system. For tasks that can run outside fish,
writing scripts is the natural approach.
To edit my scripts I frequently run
$EDITOR (which my-script)
Would be great to reduce the amount typing for this common case (the names
of editor and scripts are usually short, so that's a lot of typing spent on
the boring part).
Our Alt+o binding opens the file at the cursor in a pager. When the cursor
is in command position, it doesn't do anything (unless the command is actually
a valid file path). Let's make it open the resolved file path in an editor.
In future, we should teach this binding to delegate to "funced" upon seeing
a function instead of a script. I didn't do it yet because funced prints
messages, so it will mess with the commandline rendering if used from
a binding. (The fact that funced encourages overwriting functions that
ship with fish is worrysome. Also I'm not sure why funced doesn't open the
function's source file directly (if not sourced from stdin). Persisting the
function should probably be the default.)
Alternative approach: I think other shells expand "=my-script" to
"/path/to/my-script". That is certainly an option -- if we do that we'd want
to teach fish to complete command names after "=". Since I don't remember
scenarios where I care about the full path of a script beyond opening it in
my editor, I didn't look further into this.
Closes#10266
Commit e5b34d5cd (Suppress autosuggesting during backspacing like browsers do,
2012-02-06) disabled autosuggestion when backspacing. Autosuggestions are
re-enabled whenever we insert anything in the command line. Undo uses a
different code path to insert into the command line, which does not re-enable
autosuggestion.
Fix that.
Also re-enable autosuggestion when undo erases from the command line.
This seems like the simplest approach. It's not clear if there's a better
behavior; browsers don't agree on one in any case.
This is the last remnant of the old percent expansion.
It has the downsides of it, in that it is annoying to combine with
anything:
```fish
echo %self/foo
```
prints "%self/foo", not fish's pid.
We have introduced $fish_pid in 3.0, which is much easier to use -
just like a variable, because it is one.
If you need backwards-compatibility for < 3.0, you can use the
following shim:
```fish
set -q fish_pid
or set -g fish_pid %self
```
So we introduce a feature-flag called "remove-percent-self" to turn it
off.
"%self" will simply not be special, e.g. `echo %self` will print
"%self".
This stops you from doing e.g.
```fish
set pager command less
echo foo | $pager
```
Currently, it would run the command *builtin*, which can only do
`--search` and similar, and would most likely end up printing its own
help.
That means it very very likely won't work, and the code is misguided -
it is trying to defeat function resolution in a way that won't do what
the author wants it to.
The alternative would be to make the command *builtin* execute the
command, *but*
1. That would require rearchitecting and rewriting a bunch of it and
the parser
2. It would be a large footgun, in that `set EDITOR command foo` will
only ever work inside fish, but $EDITOR is also used outside.
I don't want to add a feature that we would immediately have to discourage.
Currently, if you enter `echo` and press up-arrow, it might select
e.g. `echo foo`.
You can then enter text, making it `echo foobar` and press up-arrow
again, but the search string is *still* `echo`.
Many *other* input functions will end history search, including e.g.
expand-abbr, so pressing space by default will already end it.
So this ends the history search once you input something.
Incidentally this allows suggestions to work in this case, so it
Fixes#10287
Note that autosuggestions have been disabled while history search is
active since a08450bcb6, I'm not sure
it's actually *needed*, so it would also be possible to enable it in
that case.
But since this is already awkward (history search is *active* but with
the old search string) and I'm not sure if e.g. suggestions during
history search would be too busy, let's do this first.
