At startup we query for
- the cursor position (CSI 6 n)
- kitty keyboard protocol support (CSI ? u)
- terminfo capabilities via XTGETTCAP
Since we don't wait for responses, those can leak into child processes.
Some child processes like fzf cannot decode DCS replies. Plug the
leak by ending each round of querying by asking for the Primary Device
Attribute, and resume input processing only after a response has been
received, (or ctrl-c as an escape hatch).
This is a nice simplification. Tested with the lowest common
denominator (putty, Terminal.app and st).

Unlike other builtins, "{" is a separate token, not a keyword-string
token.
Allow the left brace token as command string; produce it when parsing
"{ -h"/"{ --help" (and nowhere else). By using a decorated statement,
we reuse logic for redirections etc.
Other syntax elements like "and" are in the builtin list, which
- adds highlighting logic
- adds it to "builtin --names"
- makes it runnable as builtin
(e.g. "builtin '{'" would hypothetically print the man page)
These don't seem very important (highlighting for '{' needs to match
'}' anyway).
Additionally, making it a real builtin would mean that we'd need to
deactivate a few places that unescape "{" to BRACE_BEGIN.
Let's not add it to the built in list. Instead, simply synthesize
builtin_generic in the right spot.
I'm assuming we want "{ -h" to print help, but '"{" -h' to run an
external command, since the latter is historical behavior. This works
naturally with the above fake builtin approach which never tries to
unescape the left brace.
If a child program crashes with some text rendered below the cursor,
we fail to clear that text. For example run vim, "pkill -9 vim" and
observe that scrollback-push fails to clean up the leftover text.
Fix that.
Wgetopt needs a ":" at the beginning to turn on this type of error.
I'm not sure why that is now, and we might want to change it (but tbh
wgetopt could do with a replacement anyway).

Sorry, commit 51adba6ee0 (Restore autosuggestion after corrected
typo, 2025-01-10) was pushed too early. One issue is that it saves
autosuggestions also when we edit in the middle, where we can't
restore it. We'd still restore it in some cases, even though it
doesn't apply. This breaks invariants that may cause various problems
when interacting with the autosuggestion.
Fix it by only saving the autosuggestion when we will be able to
restore it correctly.
For compound commands we already have begin/end but
> it is long, which it is not convenient for the command line
> it is different than {} which shell users have been using for >50 years
The difference from {} can break muscle memory and add extra steps
when I'm trying to write simple commands that work in any shell.
Fix that by embracing the traditional style too.
---
Since { and } have always been special syntax in fish, we can also
allow
{ }
{ echo }
which I find intuitive even without having used a shell that supports
this (like zsh. The downside is that this doesn't work in some other
shells. The upside is in aesthetics and convenience (this is for
interactive use). Not completely sure about this.
---
This implementation adds a hack to the tokenizer: '{' is usually a
brace expansion. Make it compound command when in command position
(not something the tokenizer would normally know). We need to disable
this when parsing a freestanding argument lists (in "complete somecmd
-a "{true,false}"). It's not really clear what "read -t" should do.
For now, keep the existing behavior (don't parse compound statements).
Add another hack to increase backwards compatibility: parse something
like "{ foo }" as brace statement only if it has a space after
the opening brace. This style is less likely to be used for brace
expansion. Perhaps we can change this in future (I'll make a PR).
Use separate terminal token types for braces; we could make the
left brace an ordinary string token but since string tokens undergo
unescaping during expansion etc., every such place would need to know
whether it's dealing with a command or an argument. Certainly possible
but it seems simpler (especially for tab-completions) to strip braces
in the parser. We could change this.
---
In future we could allow the following alternative syntax (which is
invalid today).
if true {
}
if true; {
}
Closes#10895Closes#10898
Commit bdfbdaafcc (Forbid subcommand keywords in variables-as-commands
(#10249), 2024-02-06) banned "set x command; $x foo" because the
parser will not recognize "$x" as decorator.
That means that we would execute only the builtin stub,
which usually exist only for the --help argument.
This scenario does not apply for keywords that are quoted or contain
line continuations. We should not treat «"command"» differently
from «command». Fix this inconsistency to reduce confusion.
UnLike other aliases (":.["), ! is special in the grammar but in the
few cases like "! -h" where we parse it as decorated statement they
are equals. Add it to the built in list, so the help argument works.
It can still be overridden, so this should not break anything.
For better or worse, backward-token completely skips over operators
like > & |.
forward-token is (accidentally?) inconsistent with that. Fix that.
Skipping over those tokens might be wrong weird. Maybe not for
redirections since they are tighly coupled to their target. Maybe we
can improve this in future.
tmux-commandline can fail with
```
prompt 4> commandline -i "echo $(printf %0"$COLUMNS"d)"
```
And I just can't even.
job_summary is annoyingly tight.
Also count cancel_event as a *skip*, not success.
The issue here is we start some short `sleep`s in the background, wait
for a prompt, and only *then* wait for jobs, and *then* check for the
job end output.
That means if the prompt takes too long, we'll read the job end
messages with the `expect_prompt`.
Instead of increasing the timeouts, just wait on the same line and
remove that prompt.
Bit of a shot in the dark, I've seen this fail and there's no real
need to match the prompt *and* the command you just ran.
(plus wc -l | string trim is unnecessary when we have count)
Commit 4f3d6427ce (Fix regression causing crash in "commandline -j",
2025-01-12) wasn't quite right; it mishandles the edge case where
the current process has no token, fix that.
Failed on Cirrus Alpine.
The only explanation I can come up with here is that this took over
100ms to start `true | sleep 6`.
The alternative is that it started it and then did not regain control
in 6 seconds to kill that sleep.

Commit 3fcc6482cb (Fix parse_util_process_extent including too much
on the left, 2024-12-24) changed the process extent based on the
observation that "A\n\n\nB" comprises three tokens with ranges 0..1,
1..2 and 4..5. Prior to that commit, the second process extent was
2..5, which seems a bit weird because it includes newlines.
Weirdness aside, the real reason for changing it was this snippet in
the autosuggestion performer, where we compute the process extent
around cursor, and check if the line at process start matches the
cached search string.
// Search history for a matching item unless this line is not a continuation line or quoted.
if range_of_line_at_cursor(
&command_line,
parse_util_process_extent(&command_line, cursor_pos, None).start,
) == search_string_range
Given "A\n\n\nB" and cursor_pos=1 commit 3fcc6482cb changed the output
from 2..5 to 4..5. This brings problems:
1. leading spaces will not be included (which is probably
inconsequential but still ugly).
2. the specified cursor position is not included in the given range.
We could paper over 2 by computing min(cursor_pos)
but that would leave 1.
For now let's revert and solve the autosuggestion issue in a less
brittle way.
This needs to work both in builtin and command mode.
We should probably clarify how we're passing FDs around, and I suspect
we may close fds in places we don't expect.
This replaces the test_driver.sh/test.fish/interactive.fish system with a test driver written in python that calls into littlecheck directly and runs pexpect in a subprocess.
This means we reduce the reliance on the fish that we're testing, and we remove a posix sh script that is a weird stumbling block (see my recent quest to make it work on directories with spaces).
To run specific tests, e.g. all the tmux tests and bind.py:
tests/test_driver.py target/release/ tests/checks/tmux*.fish tests/pexpects/bind.py
Backspace signals that the user is not happy with the commandline,
and by extension the autosuggestion.
For this reason, backspace suppresses autosuggestions until the next
text insertion.
However if I
1. type something that has an autosuggestion
2. type *one* wrong letter (removing the autosuggestion)
3. type backspace
backspace does not visibly suppress any autosuggestion but rhater
signal that the user wants to go back to the previous state of the
commandline, which does have an autosuggestion.
Enable this scenario by caching the autosuggestion when it's
invalidated. On certain edits that make the cached autosuggestion
valid again, restore it from the cache. Currently, only do this up
to a single backspace. Could extend that in future.
This implementation is really bad.. but it's a start.
Weirdly, it does not restore the cache on undo; but that's
inconsequential because undo doesn't suppress autosuggestion as
of today.
Closes#3549
The result of
commandline -i ": '$(seq $LINES)"\n"first scrolled line'"
is a commandline that is scrolled by one line.
Before executing that commandline, we move the cursor down by one
too many line. This is a regression from 610338cc70 (On undo after
execute, restore the cursor position, 2024-12-21). Fix that.
The test also demonstrates an unrelated problem, probably specific
to tmux.
Commit b6d76ae: we now use lines like "# RUN: fish=%fish %fish".
If a test exits with 127 we try to look up the command but use the
wrong name, which leads to unintelligible errors if the test exits
with 127 for other reasons.
If I run "sleep 3", type a command and hit enter, then there is no
obvious way to cancel or edit the imminent command other than ctrl-c
but that also cancels sleep, and doesn't allow editing. (ctrl-z sort
of works, but also doesn't allow editing).
Let's try to limit ourselves to inserting the buffered command
(translating enter to a newline), and only execute once the user
actually presses enter after the previous command is done.
Hide it behind a new feature flag for now.
By making things less scary, this might be more user-friendly, at
the risk of breaking expectations in some cases.
This also fixes a class of security issues where a command like
`cat malicious-file.txt` might output escape sequences, causing
the terminal to echo back a malicious command; such files can still
insert into the command line but at least not execute it directly.
(Since it's only fixed partially I'm not really sure if the security
issue is a good enough motivation for this particular change.)
Note that bracketed paste probably has similar motivation as this feature.
