Prior to this change, `fish_private_mode` worked by just suppressing
history outright. With this change, `fish_private_mode` can be toggled on
and off. Commands entered while `fish_private_mode` is set are stored but
in memory only; they are not written to disk.

It was always a bit ridiculous that argparse required `X-longflag` if
that "X" short flag was never actually used anywhere.
Since the short letter is for getopt's benefit, we can hack around
this with our old friend: Unicode Private Use Areas.
We have a counter, starting at 0xE000 and going to 0xF8FF, that counts
up for all options that don't have a short flag and provides one. This
gives us up to 6400 long-only options.
6.4K should be enough for everybody.
Prior to this change, a glob like `**/file.txt` would only match
`file.txt` in subdirectories; the `**` must match at least one directory.
This is historical behavior.
With this change we move a little closer to bash's implementation by
allowing a literal `**` segment to match in the current directory. That
is, `**/foo` will match both `foo` and `bar/foo`, while `b**/foo` will
only match `bar/foo`.
Fixes#7222.
And again clang-format does something I don't like:
- if (found != end && std::strncmp(found->name, name, len) == 0 && found->name[len] == 0) return found;
+ if (found != end && std::strncmp(found->name, name, len) == 0 && found->name[len] == 0)
+ return found;
I *know* this is a bit of a long line. I would still quite like having
no brace-less multi-line if *ever*. Either put the body on the same
line, or add braces.

When building from source, there is a warning:
../doc_src/cmds/string-match.rst:13: WARNING: Inline emphasis
start-string without end-string.
One fix appears to be putting a space after the epmhasized 'n' character,
e.g., `*n* th` instead of `*n*th`.
E.g. if we do `string match -q`, and we find a match, nothing about
the input can change anything, so we quit early.
This is mainly useful for performance, but it also allows `string`
with `-q` to be used with infinite input (e.g. `yes`).
Alternative to #7495.
Currently a bit limited, unfortunately printf's `%a` specifier is
absolutely unreadable.
So we add `hex` and `octal` with `0x` and `0` prefixes respectively,
and also take a number but currently only allow 16 and 8.
The output is truncated to integer, so scale values other than 0 are
invalid and 0 is implied.
The docs mention this may change.
This allows us to write the changelog reasonably simply.
The biggest downside is that pandoc won't be able to handle it anymore
when converting to markdown, but
sphinx-markdown-builder (https://github.com/codejamninja/sphinx-markdown-builder)
should be able to handle it.
This is super cheesy.
One of the most common feature requests we get is "control-r must
search", even tho just using history-search-backward via e.g. up-arrow
is perfectly capable. The only real difference is that ctrl-r search
in other shells allows editing the search term by default, while we
stop the history search and edit the new commandline in those cases.
So, since the major problem is muscle-memory on ctrl-r,
let's just use that!
This makes ctrl-r do nothing on empty commandlines, and do
history-search-backward otherwise, so the basic flow of "press ctrl-r
to start history search, enter your search term, press ctrl-r to cycle
through matches" just works (except the first ctrl-r is useless and it
doesn't show anything).
See #602.
This switch is no longer necessary when only one command is given.
Internally completions are stored separately for each command,
so we only every print one command name per "complete" line anyway.
The sidebar had a fixed 230px, which is absolutely untenable if your
phone has 700px in total and we only use 85% of that.
So this moves the sidebar to the bottom for now, which isn't *great*,
but at least it leaves the text readable and allows navigating the ToC.
One of these days I'll understand what the heck CSS is.

Released under the Python Software Foundation License, this one
doesn't look awful (no green top bar, huzzah!).
Lightly forked it to remove the donation footer (we don't take any)
and to change the python references to fish references.
The image is just our favicon, which is a stylized "f" and therefore
not fantastic (are we facebook?), but it's the best I found, and the
thing before had no images at all.
Fixes#6500
(as far as I'm concerned)
If the padding is not divisible by the char's width without remainder,
we pad the remainder with spaces, so the total width of the output is correct.
Also add completions, changelog entry, adjust documentation, add examples
with emoji and some tests. Apply some minor style nitpicks and avoid extra
allocations of the input strings.
Technically the equivalence would be something like
string length -q $str
test -n (string join \n -- $str | string collect)
To handle when str has multiple empty strings;
but quoting is easier to remember and enough for most practical purposes.
This reads any additional positional arguments given to `fish -c` into
$argv.
We don't handle the first argument specially (as `$0`) as that's confusing and
doesn't seem very useful.
Fixes#2314.
This allows
bind -k backspace suppress-autosuggestion or backward-delete-char
To remove the suggestion on the first press and then delete
chars.
Note: This requires that we then don't reenable suggestions
immediately afterwards. Currently we don't after deletion.
Fixes#1419.
Try to keep related things together - first the variable questions,
then the prompt questions, then more customization, then syntax
incompatibilities, ...
I'm not convinced all of these are actually frequently asked, or that
all frequently asked questions are here, but that's for later.

This makes history searches case-insensitive, unless the search string
contains an uppercase character.
This is what vim calls "smartcase".
Fixes#7273.
Some formatting improvements, an explanation of $PWD, and some updates
- --on-process-exit is gone, the fish_command_not_found event is gone,
nobody has sent enhancements via the mailing list in years.

This harkens back to the days of fish's "we don't need no stinkin'
echo" minimalism. That's long past, we have a bunch useful builtins
now just because they are useful, not because they have to be builtins.

The person reading this is "you". It's completely okay and sounds
better to address them directly.
When we're talking about OS users or users of fish script the reader
writes, "the user" is still okay.

The case for symlinked directories being duplicated a lot isn't there,
but there *is* a usecase for adding the symlink rather than the
target, and that's homebrew.
E.g. homebrew installs ruby into /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/bin,
and links to it from /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin. If we add the target, we
would miss updates.
Having path entries that point to the same location isn't a big
problem - it's a path lookup, so it takes a teensy bit longer. The
canonicalization is mainly so paths don't end up duplicated via weird
spelling and so relative paths can be used.
Taken from GNU realpath, this one makes realpath not resolve symlinks.
It still makes paths absolute and handles duplicate and trailing
slashes.
(useful in fish_add_path)
Currently, completions have to be specified like
```fish
complete -c foo -l opt
```
while
```fish
complete foo -l opt
```
just complains about there being too many arguments.
That's kinda useless, so we just assume if there is one left-over
argument that it's meant to be the command.
Theoretically we could also use *all* the arguments as commands to
complete, but that seems unlikely to be what the user wants.
(I don't think multi-command completions really happen)
Currently only `complete` will list completions, and it will list all
of them.
That's a bit ridiculous, especially since `complete -c foo` just does nothing.
So just make `complete -c foo` list all the completions for `foo`.
Previously, when a command wasn't found, fish would emit the
"fish_command_not_found" *event*.
This was annoying as it was hard to override (the code ended up
checking for a function called `__fish_command_not_found_handler`
anyway!), the setup was ugly,
and it's useless - there is no use case for multiple command-not-found handlers.
Instead, let's just call a function `fish_command_not_found` if it
exists, or print the default message otherwise.
The event is completely removed, but because a missing event is not an error
(MEISNAE in C++-speak) this isn't an issue.
Note that, for backwards-compatibility, we still keep the default
handler function around even tho the new one is hard-coded in C++.
Also, if we detect a previous handler, the new handler just calls it.
This way, the backwards-compatible way to install a custom handler is:
```fish
function __fish_command_not_found_handler --on-event fish_command_not_found
# do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight
end
```
and the new hotness is
```fish
function fish_command_not_found
# do the thing
end
```
Fixes#7293.
