fish_color_match is a variable which controls syntax highlighting for
matching quotes and parens, but only with interactive `read` with shell
highlighting disabled. It seems unlikely that anybody cares about this.
builtins output to stdout and stderr via io_streams_t. Prior to this fix, it
contained an output_stream_t which just wraps a buffer. So all builtin output
went to this buffer (except for eval).
Switch output_stream_t to become a new abstract class which can output to a
buffer, file descriptor, or nowhere. This allows for example `string` to stream
its output as it is produced, instead of buffering it.
Add a helper function to check if the user is root. This function can be
useful for the prompts for example. Modify the prompts made root checked
to use the function instead. Add also the support of Administrator like
a root user.
Fixes: #7031
This makes binding \cz possible.
We already ignore the SIGTSTP signal it sends, so until now it was useless.
(also STOP and START for good measure, but since we disable flow
control in fish anyway these already shouldn't have been sent)
Fixes#7152
Prior to this fix, fish would attempt to resize the terminal via
TIOCSWINSZ, which was added as part of #3740. In practice this probably
never did anything useful since generally only the tty master can use
this. Remove the support and note it in the changelog.
Prior to this change, if the user's prompt was wider than the terminal, we
would reduce it to just `> `. With this change, attempt to truncate the
prompt.
For each line of the prompt, calculate its width. If the width exceeds
COLUMNS, prepend ellipsis to that line, and start removing characters
until it fits. Escape sequences are skipped.
Fixes#904
We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst
here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these.
It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without
requiring another build dependency.
