Not all distros have a `realpath` command. Provide a function that uses the
real command if available else use the fish builtin.
Fixes#2932
(cherry picked from commit 6c329e8a83)
Modify `fish_indent` to emit redirections without a space before the target of
the redirection; e.g., "2>&1" rather than "2>& 1" as the former is clearer to
humans.
Fixes#2899
I didn't notice when I merged commit cb6d5d76c8
by thebespokepixel.com that it removed the explicit wrapping in the `string`
man page. That makes `man string` harder to read so reinstate the explicit
wrapping.
- Add options to the autotools build to set the path for the "vendor"
or "extra" configuration snippets, functions and completions
directories.
- Remove the vendor_completions directory from the Xcode build, as
these are relocatable and compiling the paths in does not make sense.
This allows packaging tools like Homebrew and Nix to use a common
directory outside of the main prefix for third-party completions, and
to make these available for programmatic discovery through `pkg-config`.
Closes#2113
Closes#2699
Fixes issues with:
* 'string' function synopsis
* Redirection display issues
* Better file & path detection
* Rendering of % & @ chars in both html and man
* @ symbol in tutorial
Improves robustness by implementing an @EOL marker to prevent hold buffer dumping extra chars after the end of an expression.
Added new '{{' and '}}' meta-chars for when you want curly braces in a regexp that was previously tripping up the lexicon.
Improve man/html presentation consistency for
* string
* printf
* prompt_pwd
* type
Use cli-styling for 'practical' examples.
Add <bs> tag for presenting content with preceding backslash.

The existing implementation grows the $dirprev array without bounds. Besides
causing what would appear to be a memory leak it also makes the nextd and
prevd commands more expensive than they need to be. It also makes it harder to
create a useful "menu" cd command.
In addition to implementing a reasonable limit on the size of the $dirprev
array I've reformatted the code using fish_indent.
Update the documentation to include mentions of the $dirprev and $dirnext
variables as well as the limit on how much directory history is kept.

The swap-selection-start-stop function goes to the other end of the highlighted text, the equivalent of `o' for vim visual mode.
Add binding to the swap-selection-start-stop function, `o' when in visual
mode.
Document swap-selection-start-stop, begin-selection, end-selection, kill-selection.
We silently upgrade existing abbreviations and change the separator when
saving.
This does not yet warn when the user is using the old syntax.
Resolves#2051
This narrows the range of Unicode codepoints fish reserves for its own
use from U+E000 thru U+F8FE (6399 codepoints) to U+F600 thru U+F73F (320
codepoints). This is still not ideal since fish shouldn't be using any
Unicode private-use codepoints but it's a step in the right direction.
This partially addresses issue #2684.
This allows "vendors" (i.e. third-party upstreams interested in
supporting fish) to add auto-loaded functions and eager-loaded
configuration "snippets", while still allowing both the user and the administrator to
fully override all of that.
This has been inspired by systemd's configuration hierarchy, and implements a similar scheme
whereby files with the same name in higher-ranking directories override files in lower-ranking ones.
Fixes#1956
Expand globs to zero arguments (nullglob) only for set, for and count.
The warning about failing globs, and setting the accompanying $status,
now happens regardless of mode, interactive or not.
It is assumed that the above commands are the common cases where
nullglob behaviour is desirable.
More importantly, doing this with `set` is a real feature enabler,
since the resulting empty array can be passed on to any command.
The previous behaviour was actually all nullglob (since commit
cab115c8b9), but this was undocumented;
the failglob warning was still printed in interactive mode,
and the documentation was bragging about failglob behaviour.
This changes the default escape timeout for the default keybindings (emacs
mode) to 300ms and the default for vi keybindings to 10ms.
I couldn't resist fixing a few nits in the fish_vi_key_bindings.fish file
since I was touching it to set the escape timeout.
This fixes all but one of the warnings documented in issue #2685. The
sole remaining warning is from the
string split '' abc
example in doc_src/string.txt. That example results in the man page
displaying
string split {} abc
I leave it to someone else to fix that problem (I'll open an issue
specifically for it since it took some effort to track down the source
of the warning).
Resolves issue #2685.
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.
