* Implement `history search --reverse`
It should be possible to have `history search` output ordered oldest to
newest like nearly every other shell including bash, ksh, zsh, and csh.
We can't make this the default because too many people expect the
current behavior. This simply makes it possible for people to define
their own abbreviations or functions that provide behavior they are
likely used to if they are transitioning to fish from another shell.
This also fixes a bug in the `history` function with respect to how it
handles the `-n` / `--max` flag.
Fixes#4354
* Fix comment for format_history_record()
* Hoist `for` loop control var to enclosing scope
It should be possible to reference the last value assigned to a `for`
loop control var when the loop terminates. This makes it easier to detect
if we broke out of the loop among other things. This change makes fish
`for` loops behave like most other shells.
Fixes#1935
* Remove redundant line
56d9134534 contained an LRU cache plus
changes to the documentation; 95162ef19d
reverted both.
This commit re-adds the documentation changes, which are still correct.
This implements an LRU cache of recently seen math expressions. When
executing math inside loops and the like this can provide a 33% decrease
in the time to execute the `math` command.
We need our `math` builtin to behave like `bc` with respect to rounding
floating point values to integer to avoid breaking to many existing
uses. So when scale is zero round down to the nearest integer.
Another change for #3157.
The MuParser supports the concept of multiple expressions separated by
commas. This implements support for that so that you can do things like
this:
set results (math '1+1, 4*2, 9^2')
This is the second baby step in resolving #3157. Implement a bare minimum
builtin `math` command. This is solely to ensure that fish can be built
and run in the Travis build environments. This is okay since anyone running
`builtin math` today is already getting an error response.
Also, more work is needed to support bare var references, multiple result
values, etc.
First step in fixing issue #3157 is to check-in the source code and hook
it into our build system.
The inclusion of the MuParser source adds the MIT License to those that
apply to fish. Update our documentation to reflect that fact.
The MuParser documentation is at
http://beltoforion.de/article.php?a=muparser. The source was downloaded
from https://github.com/beltoforion/muparser/releases. It is also hosted
on Github, https://github.com/beltoforion/muparser/. I did not download
it from Github because that source contained just a couple of cleanup
changes which don't affect its behavior.
By far the most common problem with universal variables being overridden
by global variables is other values being imported from the environment;
the `set -q; or set -gx` is much more of an edge case.
I decided this was just too useful not to include in our final fish 2.x
release. And since it does not modify any existing behavior it is safe
to include at this late date in the process of creating 2.7.
This adds a new capability to the `set` command. It is similar to
running `set` with no other arguments but provides far more detail about
each variable. Such as whether it is set in each of the local, global,
and universal scopes. And the values in each scope. You can also ask for
specific variables to be shown.
Fixes#4265
Rewrite the `abbr` function to store each abbreviation in a separate
variable. This greatly improves the efficiency. For the common case
it is 5x faster. For pathological cases it is upwards of 100x faster.
Most people should be able to unconditionally define abbreviations in
their config.fish without a noticable slow down.
Fixes#4048
This takes a string that is then split upon like `string split`.
Unlike $IFS, the string is used as one piece, not a set of characters.
There is still a fallback to IFS if no delimiter is given, that
behaves exactly as before.
Fixes#4156.
Introduce a -k/--keep-order switch to `complete` that can be used to
prevent fish from sorting/re-ordering the results provided by a completion
source.
In addition, this patch does so without doing away with deduplication
of completions by introducing a new unique_unsorted(..) helper function
that removes duplicates in-place without affecting the general order of
the vector/container.
Note that the code now uses a stable sort for completions, since the
behavior of is_naturally_less_than as of this patch now means that the
results are not necessarily _actually_ identical just because that function
repeatedly returns false for any ordering of any given two elements.
Fixes#361
This completes the refactoring of the `set` builtin. It also removes a
seemingly never used feature of the `set` command. It also eliminates all
the lint warnings about this module.
Fixes#4236
When reporting whether a boolean flag was seen report the actual flags
rather than a summary count. For example, if you have option spec `h/help`
and we parse `-h --help -h` don't do the equivalent of `set _flag_h 3`
do `set _flag_h -h --help -h`.
Partial fix for #4226
When reporting whether a boolean flag was seen report the actual flags
rather than a summary count. For example, if you have option spec `h/help`
and we parse `-h --help -h` don't do the equivalent of `set _flag_h 3`
do `set _flag_h -h --help -h`.
Partial fix for #4226
The recent change to switch `psub` to use `argparse` caused it to use
a fifo by default because it inadvertently fixed a long standing bug in
the fish script. This changes the behavior back to `psub --file` being
the default behavior and introduces a `--fifo` flag. It also updates the
documentation to make it clearer when and why `--fifo` mode should not
be used.
Fixes#4222
While updating the `history` function to use `argparse` I realized it is
useful to define an option that can be used in three ways. First by
using the short flag; e.g., `-n NNN`. Second by using the long flag;
e.g., `--max NNN`. Third, as an implicit int flag; e.g., `-NNN`. This
use case is now supported by a spec of the form `n#max`.
The previous change to use `argparse` for parity with every other
builtin and function introduced a regression. Invocations that start
with a negative number can fail because the negative value looks like an
invalid flag.
This implements support for numeric flags without an associated short or
long flag name. This pattern is used by many commands. For example `head
-3 /a/file` to emit the first three lines of the file.
Fixes#4214
This implements a `fish_opt` command that provides a way for people
to create option specs for the `argparse` command as an alternative to
creating such strings by hand.
Fixes#4190
The `read` command `-m` and `--mode-name` vars are now deprecated and do
nothing other than result in a warning message. The `read` command now
honors the `FISH_HISTORY` var that is used to control where commands are
read from and written to. You can set that var to the empty string to
suppress the use of both history files. Or you can set it to a history
session ID in which case that will limit the `read` history that is
available.
Fixes#1504
Don't import the bash history if the user has specified that a non-default
fish history file should be used. Also, rename the var that specifies
the fish history session ID from `FISH_HISTFILE` to `FISH_HISTORY`.
Fixes#4172
Using the FISH_HISTFILE variable will let people customise the session
to use for the history file. The resulting history file is:
`$XDG_DATA_HOME/fish/name_history`
Where `name` is the name of the session. The default value is `fish`
which results in the current history file.
If it's set to an empty string, the history will not be stored to a
file.
Fixes#102
In order to allow the execution of commands before dropping to an
interactive prompt, a new switch, '-C' or '--init-command' has been
added to those switches that we accept.
The documentation has been updated correspondingly.
The original code only supported a single command list to be executed,
and this command list terminates the shell when it completes. To allow
the new command list to preceed the original one, both have been
wrapped in a new container class 'command_line_switches_t'. This is
then passed around in place of the list of strings we used previously.
I had considered moving the interactive, login and other command line
switch states into this container, but doing so would change far more
of the code, moving the structure to be available globally, and I
wasn't confident of the impact. However, this might be a useful thing
to do in the future.
A new function, run_command_list, was lifted from the prior execution
code, and re-used for both the initial command and the regular command
execution.
We now have a builtin that can do URL escaping so use it. I can't find
any uses of our private `__fish_urlencode` function in any Oh-My-Fish or
Fisherman code so remove it.
We need a way to encode arbitrary strings into valid fish variable
names. It would also be nice if we could convert strings to valid URLs
without using the slow and hard to understand `__fish_urlencode` function.
In particular, eliminating the need to manipulate the locale.
Fixes#4150
As part of addressing #1310 I decided it makes more sense to replace
`current-function` with just `function`, etc., because I'm going to add
flags to let the user specify which stack level they are interested in.
With the default being zero or the "current" level.
This is another step to resolving issue #1310. It makes
`fish_breakpoint_prompt` a replacement for `fish_prompt` if it is defined
and we're presenting a prompt in the context of a `breakpoint` command.
This implements `status is-breakpoint` that returns true if the current
shell prompt is displayed in the context of a `breakpoint` command.
This also fixes several bugs. Most notably making `breakpoint` a no-op if
the shell isn't interactive. Also, typing `breakpoint` at an interactive
prompt should be an error rather than creating a new nested debugging
context.
Partial fix for #1310
Users continue to be surprised that fish auto splits/joins three env
vars but not other similar vars. Mention this in the tutorial to make it
less likely new users are surprised by this behavior.
Fixes#4009
It still performs the assignment even if the command substitution
returned unsuccessfully - `set foo (echo bar; false)` returns 1 but
sets $foo to bar.
Also use `type -p` instead of `which`.
Another change related to issue #3985. I forgot to includes this in my
previous two changes related to to consistently returning status 121
when any command, not just `string`, is handed invalid args.
This primarily replaces "STATUS_BUILTIN_OK" with "STATUS_CMD_OK" and
"STATUS_BUILTIN_ERROR" with "STATUS_CMD_ERROR". That is because we want
to make it clear these status codes are applicable to fish functions as
well as builtins. Future changes will make it easier to use these
symbols and values in functions.
Per discussion in PR#3998 to review adding a `--filter` flag to `string
replace` rename the same flag in the `string match` subcommand to avoid
confusion about the meaning of the flag.
Discussion in issue #3295 resulted in a decisions to rename the
functions --metadata flag to --details.
This also fixes a bug in the definition of the short flags for the
`functions` command. The `-e` flag does not take an argument and
therefore should not be defined as `e:`. Notice that the long form,
`--erase`, specifies `no_argument`. This discrepency happened to work
due to a quirk of how the flag parsing loop was written.
This is the first step in addressing issue #3965. It renames some of the
functions involved in validating variable and function names to clarify
their purpose. It also augments the documentation to make the rules for
such identifiers clearly documented.
- Error out if anything that is not a PID is given
- Otherwise background all matching existing jobs, even if not all
PIDs exist (but print a message for the non-existing ones)
Fixes#3909.
This puts a hard upper bound of 10 MiB on the amount of data that read
will consume. This is to avoid having the shell consume an unreasonable
amount of memory, possibly causing the system to enter a OOM condition,
if the user does something non-sensical.
Fixes#3712
This implements a way to use the `functions` command to perform
introspection to learn about the characteristics of a function. Such as
where it came from.
Fixes#3295
If the kernel reports a size of zero for the rows or columns (i.e., what
`stty -a` reports) fall back to the `COLUMNS` and `LINES` variables. If
the resulting values are not reasonable fallback to using 80x24.
Fixes#3740
* Added new function for the default prompt mode

* Added function description
* Change wording for documentation about default mode prompt

Another dev pointed out my previous attempt to resolve issue #3612 did
not do a good job of clarifying the matter. Hopefully this change is

Trailing whitespace on a `\fish` command was causing this build failure:
/private/var/folders/T/fish_doc_build_3RT8yS/random.doxygen:44:

This implements a standard function and bindings for editing the command
line in an external editor. This feature has been requested multiple
times in the past year with various solutions cut and pasted into those
issues. This change combines the best aspects of those solutions.
Fixes#1215
This commit fixes a bug which causes that
fish -c ')'; echo $status
("Illegal command name" error) returns 0. This is inconsistent with
e.g. when trying to run non-existent command:
fish -c 'invalid-command'; echo $status
("Unknown command" error) which correctly returns 127.
A new status code,
STATUS_ILLEGAL_CMD = 123
is introduced - which is returned whenever the 'Illegal command name *'
message is printed.
This commit also adds a test which checks if valid commands return 0,
while commands with illegal name return status code 123.
Fixes#3606.
The abbr function doesn't have the possiblity to rename abbreviations.
You have to delete the old one and create a new one. This commit adds
this functionality and uses the syntax:
abbr -r OLD_KEY NEW_KEY
Fixes#2155.
Some key bindings were updated in fish 2.4.0 but in some cases the
documentation does not correctly reflect the actual behavior. This
commit attempts to fix that.
The `status` command currently silently allows incompatible flags (i.e.,
subcommands). Too, using flags to specify subcommands misleads the user
into thinking they can specify multiple subcommands.
We recently modified the `history` command to deprecate using flags for
subcommands. This change does the same for the `status` command.
Fixes#3509
People regularly ask how to make abbreviations global (i.e., private to
a fish session) rather than universal. So explain how to do so in the
`abbr` man page.
Fixes#3446
After implementing `builtin fish_realpath` it was noticed that it did
not behave like GNU `realpath` without options. Which is super annoying
since that was the whole point of implementing the command. Major
failure on my part since I wrote the unit tests to match the behavior of
the existing `wrealpath()` function that I simply exposed as a builtin
command. Rather than actually verifying it behaved in a manner
compatible with GNU realpath.
Also, while the decision to call the builtin `fish_realpath` seemed to
make sense at the time of the original commit further reflection has
shown that to be a silly, idiosyncratic, thing to have done. So rename
it to simply `realpath`.
Fixes 3400
This adds a flag to the `history search` command to limit the number of
matching entries to the first "n". The default is unlimited. This is
mostly useful in conjunction with aliases (i.e., functions) that are
intended to report the "n" most recent matching history entries without
piping the result through the user's pager.
Fixes#3244
This deprecates the use of long options for history sub-commands (e.g.,
`history --delete`) in favor of proper sub-commands (e.g., `history
delete`). It also eliminates the short options for those sub-commands.
Also change option processing to allow options anywhere on the command
line to match how the vast majority of fish builtins handle flags.
Replace --with-time with --show-time.
Fixes#3367
Update history docs.
Note - the omission of a mention of timezone was intentional. These were recorded as naive timestamps lacking timezone information in the first place.
Improves the grouping of multiline history entries
by sepearating the timestamps and history entires onto seperate lines.
Use wcsftime() Saves us a conversion, might as well.
The previous solution would not erase the previous bindings if
fish_vi_key_bindings was called with a mode argument. So if the user
switched to vi with a different initial mode, they'd keep their previous
bindings also.
Supersedes e89057b.
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.
Implementing the --shadow-builtin flag has proven to be highly controversial.
Revert the introduction of that flag to the `function` command. If someone
shoots themselves in the foot by redefining a builtin as a function that's
their problem and not our responsibility to protect them from doing so.
Fixes#3319
Fixes fish-shell/fish-site/issues/34.
These make the inline commands illegible on Android Chrome:
respectively, overlapped with other text, and smaller than the body
text.
The recent change to reconcile the history builtin command and function
broke an undocumented behavior of `history --delete`. This change
reinstates that behavior. It also adds an explicit `--exact` search mode
for the `--search` and `--delete` subcommands.
Fixes#3270
This was erroneously omitted from the previous commit.
Now backspace in insert mode does backward-delete-char, in default mode
backward-char (i.e. no deleting, just moving). This is consistent with vim.
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.
Update docs for "brblack", "brwhite" existing.
We no longer mention colors like grey, brown and purple, which are aliases
for yellow, magenta, white/black. The color names still work but there
isn't a good argument for there being two ways to do that: especially in
the age of 24-bit terminals where one might expect yellow and brown or
magenta and purple to actually be different colors.
Copyedit rest of document for inaccuracies, strange advice, brevity (a lot
of "you" pronouns, for example.)
Document the color fallback feature (set_color 313554 blue) that's been
present quite a while.
The `set_color normal` text had a comment that caused
the example to wrap to the next line in an 80 column window.
Shorten the comment so the example fits on one line.
This fixes several problems with how the builtin `history` command handles
arguments. It now complains and refuses to do anything if the user specifies
incompatible actions (e.g., `--search` and `--clear`). It also fixes a
regression introduced by previous changes with regard to invocations that
don't explicitly specify `--search` or a search term.
Enhances the history man page to clarify the behavior of various options.
This change is already far larger than I like so unit tests will be added
in a separate commit.
Fixes#3224.
Note: This fixes only a couple problems with the interactive `history
--delete` command in the `history` function. The main problem will be
dealt with via issue #31.
Restores erroneous changes to lexicon_filter and changes to doc_src/ pages. Done by hand to ensure version history.
Fixes display of % when misinterpreted by Doxygen.
Make `fish_indent`, `fish_key_reader` and `fish` recognize and assign
the same meaning to the `-d` and `-D` flags. Also, fix some errors and
stylistic issues in the associated man pages.
Fixes#3191
The previous commit to add a `--with-timestamp` flag to the `history` command
caused me to notice the history function didn't recognize the new long option.
Neither did it recognize the short options for the builtin command. This
change fixes both of those issues.
This change allows the user to specify the script name on the CLI in addition
to being redirected from stdin. It also adds a `-w` flag to write the modified
script to the original file.
This change does several things. First, and most important, it allows
dumping the "n" most recent stack frames on each debug() call. Second,
it demangles the C++ symbols. Third, it prepends each debug() message
with the debug level.
Unrelated to the above I've replaced all `assert(!is_forked_child());`
statements with `ASSERT_IS_NOT_FORKED_CHILD()` for consistency.
It's currently too easy for someone to bork their shell by doing something
like `function test; return 0; end`. That's obviously a silly, contrived,
example but the point is that novice users who learn about functions are
prone to do something like that without realizing it will bork the shell. Even
expert users who know about the `test` builtin might forget that, say, `pwd`
is a builtin.
This change adds a `--shadow-builtin` flag that must be specified to
indicate you know what you're doing.
Fixes#3000
The original `key_reader` program was useful but didn't do much that `xxd`
or `od -tx1z` didn't do. Furthermore, it wasn't built and installed by
default. This change adds features that make it superior to those programs
for decoding interactive key presses and makes it a first-class citizen
like the `fish_indent` program that is always available.
Fixes#2991
This makes it easy for the user to request floating point output with the
desired number of digits after the decimal point (not to be confused with
significant digits).
Note that this is just a thin wrapper so someone can say `math -s3 10 / 3`
rather than `math "scale=3; 10 /3"`.

* Add documentation for fish_color_user and fish_color_host.
I noticed that Doxygen was also complaining about the "<asis>" and "<bs>"
tags. So convert those to the backslash form like we did for "<outp>" in the
previous commit.
Doxygen has been warning that `<outp>` and `</outp>` are not valid XML/HTML commands since commit cb6d5d76 on 20016-04-04. That's primarily because there is at present no way to tell Doxygen to recognize new XML/HTML tags. The actual errors look like this:
```
.../string.doxygen:187: warning: Unsupported xml/html tag </outp> found
```
I hate build errors since they a) cause needless concern, and b) make it harder to notice when I've introduced a new error. So switch from XML/C## style markup to Doxygen style markup for the "outp" annotation.
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"

directories.
- Remove the vendor_completions directory from the Xcode build, as

This allows packaging tools like Homebrew and Nix to use a common

to make these available for programmatic discovery through `pkg-config`.

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.

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.
