In private mode, access to previous history is blocked and new history
does not persist and is only available for the duration of the current
session.
This mode can be used when it is not desirable for commandline history
to leak into a session, e.g. via autocomplete or when it is desirable to
test the behavior of fish in the absence of history items without
permanently clearing the history.
I'm sure there are a lot more features that can be incorporated into
private mode, such as restricting access to certain user-specific
configuration files, etc.
This addresses a lot of the concerns raised in #1363 (which was later
changed to track mosh-specific problems). See also #102.
When we discard output because there's been too much, we print a
warning, but subsequent uses of the same buffer still discard.
Now we explicitly reset the flag, so we warn once and everything works
normal after.
Fixes#5267.
For things like
source $undefined
or
source (nooutput)
it was quite annoying that it read from tty.
Instead we now require a "-" as the filename to read from the tty.
This does not apply to reading from stdin if it's redirected, so
something | source
still works.
Fixes#2633.
This adds flags --path and --unpath to builtin set, analogous to
--export and --unexport. These flags change whether a variable is
marked as a path variable.
Universal variables cannot yet be path variables.
This switches quoted expansion like "$foo" to use foo's delimiter instead of
space. The delimiter is space for normal variables and colonf or path variables.
Expansions like "$PATH" will now expand using ':'.
This commit begins to bake in a notion of path-style variables.
Prior to this fix, fish would export arrays as ASCII record separator
delimited, except for a whitelist (PATH, CDPATH, MANPATH). This is
surprising and awkward for other programs to deal with, and there's no way
to get similar behavior for other variables like GOPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
This commit does the following:
1. Exports all arrays as colon delimited strings, instead of RS.
2. Introduces a notion of "path variable." A path variable will be
"colon-delimited" which means it gets colon-separated in quoted expansion,
and automatically splits on colons. In this commit we only do the exporting
part.
Colons are not escaped in exporting; this is deliberate to support uses
like
`set -x PYTHONPATH "/foo:/bar"`
which ought to work (and already do, we don't want to make a compat break
here).
This reverts commit 3f820f0edf.
While the premise described by @nbuwe is sound in #4505, we are now
apparently relying on this behavior is some places (although
inadvertently as there doesn't seem to be a deliberate acknowledgement
of that anywhere).
Turning off ONLCR causes things like indented multiline commands to not
appear correct at the tty (subsequent lines appear both at column 0 and
again indented).
Per @nbuwe's excellent explanation in #4505, we can save on output
to the tty by maintaining column location after NL by disabling the
ONLCR terminal mode.
Closes#4505.
Adds a new match mode for `string_fuzzy_match_t` that matches against a
case-insensitive subsequence within a string, e.g. `LL` now (partially)
matches against `hello`. This is implemented as a separate mode, given a
lower priority of match than a same-case match (when present).
Note that `fuzzy_match_subsequence_insertions_only` has purposely not
been extended with a case-insensitive version as that would be a)
unlikely to match often, and b) adding a second inefficient fuzzy search
to something that's queried a lot. Perhaps `subsequence_insertions_only`
can simply be changed to be a case-insensitive comparison in the future?
Closes#1196. Affects #3978.
If you're using the old binding that only clears the commandline and
doesn't preserve its contents and start a new line, you can use
```fish
bind \cc "commandline -f cancel; commandline ''"
```
instead.
Closes#4298.
For some weird reason we only used $editor if it wasn't empty, but
then failed to fail if it was.
This will now print an error and use fish, just like if the $EDITOR
value is invalid in any other way.
Fixes#5257.
