GNU tr is not Unicode-aware, and was corrupting descriptions that had
non-ASCII characters.
Additionally, rather than using the Unicode private use characters, use
the ASCII/UTF-8 record separator character as it was intended.
The sed command could probably be rewritten to do all the heavy lifting
here, but would be even less readable.
Closes#8575.
fish_git_prompt may run certain git commands which may invoke certain
external programs as specified `.git/config`. Prevent this by suppressing
certain git config options.
This looked at __fish_print_commands, which goes via our man pages to
find the commands (it shouldn't, buuut), and exludes a hard-coded list
of pages.
So we do two thigns:
1. We add the other doc pages to the list
2. We check commands *later* - if we listed something explicitly it
should be used
This was supposed to act like `type -q` or `command -q`, in that it
returns 0 if at least 1 exists.
But because it used the wrong variable it didn't.
Fixes#8431.
Foot has several terminfos:
* foot - the default one
* foot-direct - 24-bit color terminfo, similar to xterm-direct (used by e.g. emacs)
* foot-extra - alternative to the ncurses provided terminfo, with a couple of extra, non-standard
capabilities
* foot-extra-direct - 24-bit color version of the above
There may also be other distro-custom terminfo names (serving the same purpose as foot-extra*)
This is nroff/groff being broken. It turns "→" into "â". This is even if we select `-Tutf8` and friends.
So, if mandoc exists, we prefer that, and otherwise, run preconv on
the file first (if it exists).
Really, what we would need to to is tell nroff to pass `-KUTF-8` to
groff, but that doesn't appear to be possible.
- Introduce BUILTIN_ERR_COMBO2_EXCLUSIVE
- Distill generally more terse, unambiguous error descriptions.
Remember English is not everyone's language.
- Do not capitalize sentence fragments
- Use the modality where problem input is in a %s: prefix, then
is explained.
- Do not address the user (the "You cannot do ..." kraderism)
- Spell out 'arguments' rather than 'args' for consistency
- Mention 'function' as a scope
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.
* Hide whatis database building from the user
It's really an internal detail, but shows up in prompts that display how many
background jobs are running.
By disowning it keeps running but won't show up in `jobs` or get killed if the user
exits the shell.
* Update __fish_apropos.fish
The less -F / --quit-if-one-screen option is buggy before v530. To work
around this, pass --no-init less versions older than 530.
The --no-init option was previously passed; it was removed in d15a51897d
for mouse support. Unfortunately it looks like we can't have mouse
support and --quit-if-one-screen on macOS shipped less (version 487).
It's worth fixing this because otherwise history and help is just not
printed on stock macOS.
Relevant is https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/107315/less-quit-if-one-screen-without-no-initFixes#8157.
Commit c3374ffd0 ("Use read --tokenize instead of eval for $BROWSER &
$EDITOR") converted uses of "eval" for environment variables to use the
safer "read -at", which performs word splitting but no other expansion.
funced contained a leftover instance of "eval". Remove it in favor
of using the editor command that was already word-split.
This means that we don't accidentally evaluate the file name.
(Also "set -gx EDITOR=~/my-editor" won't work anymore because the ~
is not expanded anymore but no one has complained about that behavior
in edit_command_buffer.)
Fixes#8289
*Problem:*
edit_command_buffer uses `cat` to return the modified content.
If a person has an alias for `cat` to a different command such `bat`** the editing will not be useful anymore since bat decorates the text with frames, line counts, etc
*Solution*
Appending command to cat, fish will ignore the alias and execute the real command according to this https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/command.html
** https://github.com/sharkdp/bat
This should add all the sections that aren't linked internally,
including "identifiers".
(also give up on the line breaking because it makes it annoying to do
automatically)
Fixes#8245.
This was semi-automated with
```fish
for file in $argv
set -l varname (string replace -r '.*/(.*).html' '$1' -- $file | string escape --style=var)pages
set -l sections (string replace -rf '.*class="headerlink" href="#([^"]*)".*' '$1' <$file)
echo set -l $varname $sections
end
```
(where $argv contains the path to faq, fish_for_bash_users,
interactive, language and tutorial.html)
Building help.fish at compile time would work, but only for users who
build the docs.
As functions know where they are loaded from now, there is no point in
them being marked as loaded from a temporary file that has been removed.
Source the function via a redirect instead.
Ubuntu's fish package on WSL 1 has xsel as recommended dependency,
even though there is no X server available. This change makes us
use Windows' native clipboard even when xsel is installed.
We keep __fish_is_nth_token for compatibility and edit the
implementations of __fish_is_nth_token, __fish_is_first_token and
__fish_is_token_n to use fish_is_nth_token
This injected filenames into fish script, which could inject things
that looked like fish script.
E.g. create a file called `~/.config/fish/themes/"; rm -rf ~/*"`.
Note that the prompts are all shipped by us, but the themes can
technically be added by the user, and they might not be dilligent in
what filenames they allow.
`fish_config theme`:
- `list` to list all available themes (files in the two theme
directories - either the web_config/themes one or
~/.config/fish/themes!)
- `show` to show select (or all) themes right in the terminal - this
starts another fish that reads the theme file and prints the sample
text, manually colored
- `choose` to load a theme *now*, setting the variables globally
- `save` to load a theme and save the variables universally
- `dump` to write the current theme in .theme format (to stdout)
- `demo` to display the current theme
This introduces two functions to
- toggle a process prefix, used for adding "sudo"
- add a job suffix, used for adding "&| less"
Not sure if they are very useful; we'll see.
Closes#7905
I almost always use this on the last/only job in a commandline, so
the semicolon is usually not needed. We have always added it but I
prefer not dropping it: this feels cleaner because it's what you'd
type without the shortcut.
Similarly to b0e3cc4b5 (__fish_complete_suffix: Remove `eval`,
2019-12-28), this use of eval is unsafe and can spew errors if
invoked on an incomplete brace expansion.
Commit d15a51897 ("Rationalize $LESS uses") switched a "less" flag
from -r (interpret all control characters)
to -R (interpret only color codes)
Somehow this changed the output of "fish -c 'command -h'" to include
weird characters:
DESCRIPTION^O
command^O forces the shell to execute the program COMMANDNAME^O and ignore any functions or builtins with the same name.
Probably this was the reason why I originally used -r over -R. Anyway,
-R is safer and it looks like we can just remove the "ul" preprocessing
since "less" will interpret bold/underline just fine.
