This enables users to opt in (or out) of specific features by setting
the fish_features environment variable.
For example `set -U fish_features stderr-nocaret` to opt into removing the
caret redirection.
This partially reverts 5b489ca30f, with
carets acting as redirections unless the stderr-nocaret flag is set.
This flag is off by default but may be enabled on the command line:
fish --features stderr-nocaret
This introduces a new command line option --features which can be used for
enabling or disabling features for a particular fish session.
Examples:
fish --features stderr-nocaret
fish --features 3.0,no-stderr-nocaret
fish --features all
Note that the feature set cannot be changed in an existing session.
This teaches the status command to work with features.
'status features' will show a table listing all known features and whether
they are currently on or off.
`status test-feature` will test an individual feature, setting the exit status to
0 if the feature is on, 1 if off, 2 if unknown.
This introduces a new type features_t that exposes feature flags. The intent
is to allow a deprecation/incremental adoption path. This is not a general
purpose configuration mechanism, but instead allows for compatibility during
the transition as features are added/removed.
Each feature has a user-presentable short name and a short description. Their
values are tracked in a struct features_t.
We start with one feature stderr_nocaret, but it's not hooked up yet.
This was done in share/config.fish, but leads to surprising results if
that isn't read - e.g. because someone just built fish in the git
directory to test it without installing.
It's also not something that is any more or less complicated.
For compatibility, keep it in config.fish as well for the time being.
complete.cpp strips the path from commands before parsing for
completions, meaning that when we called `path_get_path()` against
`cmd`, if `./cmd` were typed in at the command line but `cmd` does not
exist in the PATH, then the command would incorrectly be flagged as not
present and the completions would be skipped.
This is also faster when an absolute/relative path is used for a
command, as we now search with the original path which skips searching
PATH directories unnecessarily.
Found when debugging why completions for `./configure` wouldn't work.
This brings back expansion of `%n` where `n` is a job id, but not as a
general parser syntax. This makes `jobs -p %n` work, which can be used
as part of the job control command chain, i.e.
```
cat &
fg (jobs -p %1)
```
fg/bg/wait can either be wrapped in a function to call `jobs -p` for
`%n` arguments, or they can be updated to take `%n` arguments
themselves.
The order of this list does not need to be strictly maintained any
longer.
Benchmarked with `hyperfine` as follows, where `bench1` is the existing
approach of binary search and `bench2` is the new unordered_set code,
(executed under bash because fish would always return non-zero). The
benchmark code checks each argv to see if it is a builtin keyword (both
return the same result):
```
hyperfine './bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)' './bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)'
Benchmark #1: ./bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)
Time (mean ± σ): 68.4 ms ± 3.0 ms [User: 28.8 ms, System: 38.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 60.4 ms … 75.4 ms
Benchmark #2: ./bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)
Time (mean ± σ): 61.4 ms ± 2.3 ms [User: 23.1 ms, System: 39.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 58.1 ms … 67.1 ms
Summary
'./bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)' ran
1.11x faster than './bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)'
```
Prior to this fix, the fish universal variables file claimed that
changes to it would be overwritten. This no longer true and has not
been true for a long time. Remove that warning.
This switches the universal variables file from a machine-specific
name to the fixed '.config/fish/fish_universal_variables'. The old file
name is migrated if necessary.
Fixes#1912
This removes the caret as a shorthand for redirecting stderr.
Note that stderr may be redirected to a file via 2>/some/path...
and may be redirected with a pipe via 2>|.
Fixes#4394
The previous commit caused the tests to fail since env_remove() was
returning a blanket `!0` when a variable couldn't be unset because it
didn't exist in the first place. This caused the wrong message to be
emitted since the code clashed with a return code for `env_set()`.
Added `ENV_NOT_FOUND` to signify that the variable requested unset
didn't exist in the first place, but _not_ printing the error message
currently so as not to break existing behavior before checking if this
is something we want.
Variables set in if and while conditions are in the enclosing block, not
the if/while statement block. For example:
if set -l var (somecommand) ; end
echo $var
will now work as expected.
Fixes#4820. Fixes#1212.
Currently, there are two possibilities for holes in the background:
- When there are two candidates with the same meaning (a long and a
short option or two candidates with the same description)
- When a candidate does not have a description (meaning the color
won't continue after it)
This changes both so the background just goes on.
In addition, it avoids making the background multiple times.
Fixes#4866.
The official fish documentation makes no mention of how `string split`
treats empty tokens, e.g. splitting 'key1##key2' on '#' or (more
confusingly) splitting '/path' on '/'. With this commit, `string split`
now has an option to exclude zero-length substrings from the resulting
array with a new `--no-empty/-n`. The default behavior of preserving
empty entries is kept so as to avoid breakage.
The two unicode glyphs used to represent missing new lines and redacted
characters for secure entry are both not present in the glyph tables of
the default font under Windows (Consolas and Lucida Console), use an
alternative glyph instead.
The "return" symbol is replaced with a pilcrow (¶) and the "redacted
character" symbol is replaced with a bullet (•). Both of these are
well-defined in almost all fonts as they're very old symbols. This
change only takes place if -DWSL is supplied by the build toolchain.
Note: this means a Windows SSH client connecting to a fish remote
instance on a non-Windows machine will still use the (unavailable)
default glyphs instead.
The newly added `:` command is implemented as a function (to avoid
increasing complexity by making it a builtin), but it is saved to a path
that does not match its filename (since its name is somewhat of a
special character that might cause problems during installation).
Directly probing the `colon` function for autoload causes `:` to be
correctly loaded, so doing just that after function paths are loaded
upon startup.
This is a hack since the CPP code shouldn't really be aware of
individual functions, perhaps there is a better way of doing this.
