If you don't care about file paths containing '=' or ':', you can
stop reading now.
In tokens like
env var=/some/path
PATH=/bin:/usr/local/b
file completion starts after the last separator (#2178).
Commit db365b5ef8 (Do not treat \: or \= as file completion anchor,
2024-04-19) allowed to override this behavior by escaping separators,
matching Bash.
Commit e97a4fab71 (Escape : and = in file completions, 2024-04-19)
adds this escaping automatically (also matching Bash).
The automatic escaping can be jarring and confusing, because separators
have basically no special meaning in the tokenizer; the escaping is
purely a hint to the completion engine, and often unnecessary.
For "/path/to/some:file", we compute completions for "file" and for
"/path/to/some:file". Usually the former already matches nothing,
meaning that escaping isn't necessary.
e97a4fab71 refers us to f7dac82ed6 (Escape separators (colon and
equals) to improve completion, 2019-08-23) for the original motivation:
$ ls /sys/bus/acpi/devices/d<tab>
$ ls /sys/bus/acpi/devices/device:
device:00/ device:0a/ …
Before automatic escaping, this scenario would suggest all files from
$PWD in addition to the expected completions shown above.
Since this seems to be mainly about the case where the suffix after
the separator is empty,
Let's remove the automatic escaping and add a heuristic to skip suffix
completions if:
1. the suffix is empty, to specifically address the above case.
2. the whole token completes to at least one appending completion.
This makes sure that "git log -- :!:" still gets completions.
(Not sure about the appending requirement)
This heuristic is probably too conservative; we can relax it later
should we hit this again.
Since this reverts most of e97a4fab71, we address the code clone
pointed out in 421ce13be6 (Fix replacing completions spuriously quoting
~, 2024-12-06). Note that e97a4fab71 quietly fixed completions for
variable overrides with brackets.
a=bracket[
But it did so in a pretty intrusive way, forcing a lot of completions
to become replacing. Let's move this logic to a more appropriate place.
---
Additionally, we could sort every whole-token completion before every
suffix-completion. That would probably improve the situation further,
but by itself it wouldn't address the immediate issue.
Closes#11027
(cherry picked from commit b6c249be0c4f075a9e7d65f94fd1677da2c58e72)
Commit 29dc30711 (Insert some completions with quotes instead of
backslashes, 2024-04-13) wrongly copmletes
$ cat ~/space
to
$ cat '~/path with spaces'
Today completions can be either replacing or appending. We never quote
(but backslash-escape) appending completions (unless they "append"
to an empty token). We always quote replacing completions. The
assumption in this part of the code is that replacing completions
can be quoted without changing meaning.
This assumption is wrong for tildes. For the backslash-escaping code
path, we take care of this edge case via a special DONT_ESCAPE_TILDES
flag. However that flag does not take effect when using quotes for
escaping. Fix that.
Unfortunately, e97a4fab7 (Escape : and = in file completions,
2024-04-19) introduced a (hopefully temporary) code clone in
escape_separators, which made added an extra step to debugging here.
Make fish-printf no longer depend on the widestring crate, as other clients
won't use it; instead this is an optional feature.
Make format strings a generic type, so that both narrow and wide strings can
serve. This removes a lot of the complexity around converting from narrow to
wide.
Add a README.md to this crate.
This enabled the profile in fish_setlocale, which caused startup
profile to always be on, so
```fish
fish --profile file -c 'foo'
```
would show the entire startup as well
This updates is_windows_subsystem_for_linux() to take a WSL version to test for
(any, v1, or v2) and returns the boolean result depending on the system. I've
benchmarked and when running on regular Linux, this is still just as fast as the
previous binary check; it's only when it's WSL that this takes about 20ns
longer to figure out which variant.
Note that older WSLv2 kernels had a `-microsoft-standard` suffix while newer
ones appear to have a `-microsoft-standard-WSL2` suffix, so we make sure to test
for the least common denominator. (It doesn't matter to us, but note that newer
WSLv2 kernels have four dots in the version string!)
WSL workarounds pertaining to the default Windows terminal or executable
behavior of win32 binaries under a WSL shell are extended to WSLv2 while those
specific to oddities in kernel behavior are confined to WSLv1 only. (It
technically wouldn't hurt to extend them to WSLv2 but there's no good reason to
do so, either.)
We were passing a slice (and not a vec) to `CString::new()`, meaning it would
allocate a new Vec internally to hold the bytes.
Also document that the resulting CString will be silently truncated at the first
interior NUL.
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.
This is the last remnant of the old percent expansion.
It has the downsides of it, in that it is annoying to combine with
anything:
```fish
echo %self/foo
```
prints "%self/foo", not fish's pid.
We have introduced $fish_pid in 3.0, which is much easier to use -
just like a variable, because it is one.
If you need backwards-compatibility for < 3.0, you can use the
following shim:
```fish
set -q fish_pid
or set -g fish_pid %self
```
So we introduce a feature-flag called "remove-percent-self" to turn it
off.
"%self" will simply not be special, e.g. `echo %self` will print
"%self".
No need to use cfg_attr and have to worry about syncing the preconditions for
the cfg_attr with the preconditions for where `slice_contains_slice()` is used
in the codebase, just mark it as `allow(unused)` with a comment.
