GNU tr is not Unicode-aware, and was corrupting descriptions that had
non-ASCII characters.
Additionally, rather than using the Unicode private use characters, use
the ASCII/UTF-8 record separator character as it was intended.
The sed command could probably be rewritten to do all the heavy lifting
here, but would be even less readable.
Closes#8575.
fish_git_prompt may run certain git commands which may invoke certain
external programs as specified `.git/config`. Prevent this by suppressing
certain git config options.
This looked at __fish_print_commands, which goes via our man pages to
find the commands (it shouldn't, buuut), and exludes a hard-coded list
of pages.
So we do two thigns:
1. We add the other doc pages to the list
2. We check commands *later* - if we listed something explicitly it
should be used
This was supposed to act like `type -q` or `command -q`, in that it
returns 0 if at least 1 exists.
But because it used the wrong variable it didn't.
Fixes#8431.
Foot has several terminfos:
* foot - the default one
* foot-direct - 24-bit color terminfo, similar to xterm-direct (used by e.g. emacs)
* foot-extra - alternative to the ncurses provided terminfo, with a couple of extra, non-standard
capabilities
* foot-extra-direct - 24-bit color version of the above
There may also be other distro-custom terminfo names (serving the same purpose as foot-extra*)
This is nroff/groff being broken. It turns "→" into "â". This is even if we select `-Tutf8` and friends.
So, if mandoc exists, we prefer that, and otherwise, run preconv on
the file first (if it exists).
Really, what we would need to to is tell nroff to pass `-KUTF-8` to
groff, but that doesn't appear to be possible.
- Introduce BUILTIN_ERR_COMBO2_EXCLUSIVE
- Distill generally more terse, unambiguous error descriptions.
Remember English is not everyone's language.
- Do not capitalize sentence fragments
- Use the modality where problem input is in a %s: prefix, then
is explained.
- Do not address the user (the "You cannot do ..." kraderism)
- Spell out 'arguments' rather than 'args' for consistency
- Mention 'function' as a scope
In 'simple terminal' the delete key prints \e[P by default, which is
related to the different approach the authors of st are taking on the
matter of shell configuration. The main problem is the malfunction of
the delete key, so we have to use a workaround like this.
* Hide whatis database building from the user
It's really an internal detail, but shows up in prompts that display how many
background jobs are running.
By disowning it keeps running but won't show up in `jobs` or get killed if the user
exits the shell.
* Update __fish_apropos.fish
