There is no natural default binding for token movements. Add the
alt-{left,right,backspace,delete}, breaking some existing behavior.
For example, backward-delete-word is no longer bound to alt-backspace but
only to ctrl-backspace. Unfortunately some terminals (particularly tmux)
don't support distinguishing ctrl-backspace from ctrl-h yet, so the loss
of alt-backspace may be tragic.
---
I guess we could also add:
bind alt-B backward-token
bind alt-F forward-token
bind ctrl-W backward-kill-token
bind alt-D kill-token
Those might be intercepted by the terminal on Linux, but I don't know where
that happens.
Tested on foot, kitty, alacritty, xterm, tmux, konsole and gnome-terminal.
Closes#10766
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).
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.
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
After accidentally running a command that includes a pasted password, I want
to delete command from history. Today we need to recall or type (part of)
that command and type "history delete". Let's maybe add a shortcut to do
this from the history pager.
The current shortcut is Shift+Delete. I don't think that's very discoverable,
maybe we should use Delete instead (but only if the cursor is at the end of
the commandline, otherwise delete a char).
Closes#9454
Introduced with 3.6.0 `fish_cursor_selection_mode` variable breaks
existing vi bindings (for example, input sequence `abc<Esc>0vd` doesn't
delete the `a` character as would be expected).
This patch fixes it by switching `fish_cursor_selection_mode` to
`inclusive` and back.
This reimplements ridiculousfish/control_r which is a more future-proof
approach than #6686.
Pressing Control+R shows history in our pager and allows to search filter
commands with the pager search field.
On the surface, this works just like in other shells; though there are
some differences.
- Our pager shows multiple results at a time.
- Other shells allow to use up arrow/down arrow to select adjacent entries
in history. Shouldn't be hard to implement but the hidden state might
confuse users and it doesn't play well with up-or-search, so this is
left out.
Users might expect the history pager to use subsequence matching (fuzzy
matching) like the completion pager, however due to the history pager design it
uses substring matching. We could change this in future, however that means
we would also want to change the ordering from "reverse-chronological" to
"longest common subsequence" (e.g. what fuzzy finders do), because otherwise
a query "fis" might give this ordering:
fsck /dev/disk/by-partlabel/Linux\x20filesystem
fish
which is probably not what the user wants.
The pager shows only a small number of history items at a time. This is
because, as explained above, the history pager does not support subsequence
matching, so navigating it does not scale well.
Closes#602
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.
This is super cheesy.
One of the most common feature requests we get is "control-r must
search", even tho just using history-search-backward via e.g. up-arrow
is perfectly capable. The only real difference is that ctrl-r search
in other shells allows editing the search term by default, while we
stop the history search and edit the new commandline in those cases.
So, since the major problem is muscle-memory on ctrl-r,
let's just use that!
This makes ctrl-r do nothing on empty commandlines, and do
history-search-backward otherwise, so the basic flow of "press ctrl-r
to start history search, enter your search term, press ctrl-r to cycle
through matches" just works (except the first ctrl-r is useless and it
doesn't show anything).
See #602.
Add the input function undo which is bound to `\c_` (control + / on
some terminals). Redoing the most recent chain of undos is supported,
redo is bound to `\e/` for now.
Closes#1367.
This approach should not have the issues discussed in #5897.
Every single modification to the commandline can be undone individually,
except for adjacent single-character inserts, which are coalesced,
so they can be reverted with a single undo. Coalescing is not done for
space characters, so each word can be undone separately.
When moving between history search entries, only the current history
search entry is reachable via the undo history. This allows to go back
to the original search string with a single undo, or by pressing the
escape key.
Similarly, when moving between pager entries, only the most recent
selection in the pager can be undone.
With the new support for self-insert inserting a bound sequence,
the default binding for space as expanding abbreviations can be simplified
to just `self-insert expand-abbr`. This also fixes the bug where space
would cancel pager search.
* Add "expand-abbr" bind function
This can be used to explictly allow expanding abbreviations.
* Make expanding abbr explicit
NOTE: This accepts them for space only, we currently also do it for \n
and \r.
* Remove now dead code
We no longer trigger an abbr implicitly, so we can remove the code
that does it.
* Fix comment

This allows for marking certain bindings as part of a preset, which allows us to
- only erase those when switching presets
- go back to the preset binding when erasing a user binding
- only show user customization if requested
- make bare bind statements in config.fish work (!!!11elf!!!)
Fixes#5191.
Fixes#3699.
As it turns out, for some terminals backspace is \b but only when
preceded by \e.
All this makes about as much sense as the english language.
Fixes#4955.
This silences binding errors due to keys not found in the current
termcap config in the default fish bindings.
Closes#4188, #4431, and obviates the original fix for #1155
It was necessary to re-implement builtin_bind as a class in order to
avoid passing around the options array from function to function and
as adding an opts parameter to `get_terminfo_sequence` would require
otps to be passed to all other builtin_bind_ functions so they could, in
turn, pass it to `get_terminfo_sequence`.
I hate doing this but I am tired of touching a fish script as part of
some change and having `make style` radically change it. Which makes
editing fish scripts more painful than it needs to be. It is time to do
a wholesale reformatting of these scripts to conform to the documented
style as implemented by the `fish_indent` program.
The changes related to issue #3068 removed most of the emacs bindings
from vi mode. However, since fish 2.4.0 was released several people have
pointed out that the directions for reinstating the legacy hybrid key
bindings don't work. This change fixes that and makes it easier to use
the legacy hybrid bindings.
Fixes#3556
Some of these were defined in the shared bindings, some (like \cy yank)
were just literally duplicate in the same files.
This should _not_ change anything. In particular this does not remove
hardcoding of sequences (because terminfo might be wrong or the term
might need smkx).
Found with
```
function bind
set -l binds (builtin bind)
builtin bind $argv
set -l newbinds (builtin bind)
if set -q argv[1]; and not test "$argv[1]" = "--erase"
if test "$binds" = "$newbinds"
echo "Duplicate: " (string escape -- $argv)
end
end
end
```
The vi-bindings function would unconditionally erase all bindings,
making it impossible to call it last. This would disable the
mode-indicator (and in future also the cursor).
Make it so any argument to fish_vi_key_bindings stops it from erasing
bindings.
It would also be possible to demand an argument to erase (or to erase as
a separate step). but the usual case seems to be _switching_ to a set of bindings.
This undoes the inheritance since it shared too much.
The idea here is to share bindings that aren't something the editors we're inspired by do - there's no "execute" in vi.
The basic editing and moving bindings are now vi-style in vi-mode and emacs-style in default mode.
