As reported on gitter, commands like "rm (...)" sometimes want a previous
command inside the parentheses. Let's try that. If a user actually wants
to search for a command substitution they can move the cursor outside the
command substitution, or type the search string after pressing ctrl-r?
In addition to the native Emacs undo binding, we also support ctrl-z.
On Linux, ctrl-shift-z alias ctrl-Z is the redo binding according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts Let's bind allow
that.
Unfortunately ctrl-shift and ctrl-alt modified shortcuts on Linux may be
intercepted by the windowing system or the terminal. Only alt-shift seems to be
available reliably (but the shift bit should mean "extend selection" in Emacs).
After abandoning a commandline (for example with ctrl-c) it's nice to be
able to restore it. There is little reason to discard the requisite undo
information, so keep it.
Try to keep the "backwards-incompatible" section reasonably short so
people can get a quick overview of what they need to handle.
So we split the "bind" part into two.
wl-copy is a daemon process that serves its stdin to any wl-paste processes.
On Wayland, we launch it from fish_clipboard_copy. It then lives in the
same process group as fish (see `ps -o pid,pgid,comm`).
For some reason pressing ctrl-c inside the VSCode integrated terminal with
fish as the default shell kills the wl-copy process, thus clearing the
clipboard. On other terminals it works fine.
This is also reproducible by running "echo foo | wl-copy" ctrl-v ctrl-c ctrl-v
(the second ctrl-v does not paste because wl-copy was killed).
Work around this for now by running wl-copy asynchronously, and disowning it.
This seems to fix it though I really don't know why. Alternatively we could
"setsid" but that's technically not available on BSD.
For some reason this works in Bash. We should strace it to figure out why.
This seems a bit better because it's what bind uses. To makes sure that
something like :kbd:`ctrl-x` looks good in HTML, remove the border from the
kbd style. Else both "ctrl" and "x" get small boxes which looks weird.
This is similar to f7dac82ed (Escape separators (colon and equals) to improve
completion, 2019-08-23) except we only escape : and = if they are the result of
file completions. This way we avoid issues with custom completions like dd.
This also means that it won't work for things like __fish_complete_suffix
[*] but that can be fixed later, once we can serialize the DONT_ESCAPE flag.
By moving the escaping step earlier, this causes some unit test changes
which should not result in actual behavior change.
See also #6099
[*]: The new \: and \= does not leak from "complete -C" because that command
unescapes its output -- unless --escape is given.
alt-d used to do that until evil merge[*] 213e90704 (Merge remote-tracking branch
'upstream/master' into bind_mode, 2014-01-15) which changed the order of
the \ed bindings such that the smart dirh version would be shadowed by the
simpler ones.
[*] git blame alone failed to find it because it skips merge commits.
We sometimes leak ^[[I and ^[[O focus reporting events when run from VSCode's
"Run python file" button in the top right corner. To reproduce I installed
the ms-python extension set the VSCode default shell to fish and repeatedly
ran a script that does "time.sleep(1)". I believe VSCode synthesizes keys
and triggers a race condition.
We can probably fix this but I'm not sure when I'll get to it (given how
relatively unimportant this feature is).
So let's go back to the old behavior of only enabling focus reporting in tmux.
I believe that tmux is affected by the same VSCode issue (also on 3.7.1 I
think) but I haven't been able to get tmux to emit focus reporting sequences
yet. Still, keep it to not regress cursor shape (#4788). So far this is
the only motivation for focus reporting and I believe it is only relevant
for terminals that can split windows (though there are a bunch that do).
Closes#10448
This is another problem that has been bothering me for years: as mentioned
in 1dd901e52 (Maintain cursor in history prefix search, 2024-04-12), up-arrow
search highlights search matches but the contrast is really bad, especially in
command position, because the search matches --background=brblack is combined
with whatever foreground syntax highlighting the command has. The history
pager had a similar problem (for the selected history item) but circumented
it by disabling syntax highlighting altogether for the selected item.
fish_color_search_match's foreground component is ignored.
Let's use it instead of syntax highlighting.
This fixes the contrast on some default colorschemes but the bryellow
foreground looks weirdly like an error/warning on some terminals. Change it
to white. This needs a hack because we don't have a canonical way to tell
if a uvar has been set by the user. Fortunately the foreground component
hasn't been used at all so far, so we're not so much changing it as much as
initializing it.
Indented multiline commandlines look ugly in an external editor. Also,
fish doesn't properly handle the case when the editor runs fish_indent.
Fix is by indenting when exporting the commandline and un-indenting when
importing the commandline again.
Unindent only if the file is properly indented (meaning at least by the
amount fish would use). Another complication is that we need to offset
cursor positions by the indentation.
This approach exposes "fish_indent --only-indent" and "--only-unindent"
though I don't imagine they are useful for others so I'm not sure if this
is the right place and whether we should even document it.
One alternative is to add "commandline --indented" to handle indentation
transparently.
So "commandline --indented" would print a indented lines,
and "commandline --indented 'if true' ' echo'" would remove the unecessary
indentation before replacing the commandline.
That would probably simplify the logic for the cursor position offset.
Popular operating systems support shift-delete to delete the selected item
in an autocompletion widgets. We already support this in the history pager.
Let's do the same for up-arrow history search.

On
a;
we don't expand the abbreviation because the cursor is right of semicolon,
not on the command token. Fix this by making sure that we call expand-abbr
with the cursor on the semicolon which is the end of the command token.
(Now that our bind command execution order is less surprising, this is doable.)
This means that we need to fix the cursor after successfully expanding
an abbreviation. Do this by setting the position explicitly even when no
--set-position is in effect.
An earlier version of this patch used
bind space self-insert backward-char expand-abbr or forward-char
The problem with that (as a failing test shows) was that given "abbr m
myabbr", after typing "m space ctrl-z", the cursor would be after the "m",
not after the space. The second space removes the space, not changing the
cursor position, which is weird. I initially tried to fix this by adding
a hack to the undo group logic, to always restore the cursor position from
when begin-undo-group was used.
bind space self-insert begin-undo-group backward-char expand-abbr end-undo-group or forward-char
However this made test_torn_escapes.py fail for mysterious reasons.
I believe this is because that test registers and triggers a SIGUSR1 handler;
since the signal handler will rearrange char events, that probably messes
with the undo group guards.
I resorted to adding a tailor-made readline cmd. We could probably remove
it and give the new behavior to expand-abbr, not sure.
Fixes#9730
File names that have lots of spaces look quite ugly when inserted as
completions because every space will have a backslash.
Add an initial heuristic to decide when to use quotes instead of
backslash escapes.
Quote when
1. it's not an autosuggestion
2. we replace the token or insert a fresh one
3. we will add a space at the end
In future we could relax some of these requirements.
Requirement 2 means we don't quote when appending to an existing token.
Need to find a natural behavior here.
Re 3, if the completion adds no space, users will probably want to add more
characters, which looks a bit weird if the token has a trailing quote.
We could relax this requirement for directory completions, so «ls so»
completes to «ls 'some dir with spaces'/».
Closes#5433
The search term highlighting looks looks really bad on the default theme
because the command is highlighted as dark blue and the search term adds
a dark background. If this new feature motivates us to finally fix this,
that would be great.
Closes#10430
Some of these handled multiline prompts but not multiline command lines. We
first need to move the cursor to the end of the commandline, then we can
print a message. Finally, we need to move the cursor back to where it was.
Commit c3cd68dda (Process shell commands from bindings like regular char
events, 2024-03-02) mentions a "weird ordering difference".
The issue is that "commandline -f foo" goes through the input
queue while other commands are executed directly.
For example
bind ctrl-g "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
is executed in the wrong order. Fix that.
This doesn't yet work for "commandline -f exit" but that can be fixed easily.
It's hard to imagine anyone would rely on the existing behavior. "commandline
-f" in bindings is mostly used for repainting the commandline.
This allows terminals like foot and kitty to
* scroll to the previous/next prompt with ctrl-shift-{z,x}
* pipe the last command's output to a pager with ctrl-shift-g
Kitty has existing fish shell integration
shell-integration/fish/vendor_conf.d/kitty-shell-integration.fish which we
can simplify now. They keep a state variable to decide which of prompt start,
command start or command end to output. I think with our implementation
this is no longer necessary, at least I couldn't reproduce any difference.
We also don't need to hook into fish_cancel or fish_posterror like they do;
only in the one place where we actually draw the prompt.
As mentioned in the above shell integration script, kitty disables reflow
when it sees an OSC 133 marker, so we need to do it ourselves,
otherwise the prompt will go blank after a terminal resize.
Closes#10352
Some terminals send the focus-in sequences ("^[I") whenever focus reporting is
enabled. We enable focus reporting whenever we are finished running a command.
If we run two commands without reading in between, the focus sequences
will show up on the terminal.
Fix this by enabling focus-reporting as late as possible.
This fixes the problem with `^[I` showing up when running "cat" in
gnome-terminal https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/10411.
This begs the question if we should do the same for CSI u and bracketed paste.
It's difficult to answer that; let's hope we find motivating test cases.
If we enable CSI u too late, we might misinterpret key presses, so for now
we still enable those as early as possible.
Also, since we now read immediately after enabling focus events, we can get
rid of the hack where we defer enabling them until after the first prompt.
When I start a fresh terminal, the ^[I no longer shows up.
Similar to 20bbdb68f (Set terminal title unconditionally, 2024-03-30).
While at it, get rid of a few unnecessary guards (we are never called from
a command substitution, so the check only adds confusion).
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
Terminal titles are set with an OSC 0 sequence. I don't think we want to
support terminals that react badly to unknown OSC (or CSI) sequences.
So let's remove our feature detection.
This will fix future false negatives along the lines of
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/10037
A long standing issue is that bindings cannot mix special input functions
and shell commands. For example,
bind x end-of-line "commandline -i x"
silently does nothing. Instead we have to do lift everything to shell commands
bind x "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
for no good reason.
Additionally, there is a weird ordering difference between special input
functions and shell commands. Special input functions are pushed into the
the queue whereas shell commands are executed immediately.
This weird ordering means that the above "bind x" still doesn't work as
expected, because "commandline -i" is processed before "end-of-line".
Finally, this is all implemented via weird hack to allow recursive use of
a mutable reference to the reader state.
Fix all of this by processing shell commands the same as both special input
functions and regular chars. Hopefully this doesn't break anything.
Fixes#8186Fixes#10360Closes#9398
Multiline search strings are weirdly broken (inserting control characters
in the command line) and probably not very useful anyway.
On the other hand I often want to compose a multi-line command
from single-line commands I ran previously.
Let's support this case by limiting the initial search string to the current
line; and replace only that line.
Alternatively this could operate on jobs (that is, replace a surrounding
"foo | bar") instead of using line boundaries.
I used below script to list all GitHub issues and PRs that are not yet
mentioned in the changelog. It's almost empty now.
While at it, curate the "notable" section and move some entries around,
notably from "interactive improvements" to "bindings".
