Currently, if a "return" is given outside of a function, we'd just
throw an error.
That always struck me as a bit weird, given that scripts can also
return a value.
So simply let "return" outside also exit the script, kinda like "exit"
does.
However, unlike "exit" it doesn't quit an interactive shell - it seems
weird to have "return" do that as well. It sets $status, so it can be
used to quickly set that, in case you want to test something.
Still not happy with this, it's overwhelming!
Might have to split this into two - one with simple paths and rough
descriptions, and one with the full scoop for experts?
For builtins that have the same name as common commands, it might not
be entirely obvious that there is another page.
So, for those builtins, we add a note, but only in the man pages.
(exception is true and false because the note would be longer than the
page, and it's fridging true and false)
Fixes#8077.
`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
Instead of having a toctree after the "index", just append the
important documents directly. Having one pdf file with different
chapters and sections and such feels better.
This allows
sphinx-build -blinkcheck . /dev/null
To be used without getting rate-limited to hell by github because the
release notes include hundreds of links to our own issues. Just assume
all issue numbers are valid.
pdflatex simply doesn't cut it.
This still results in an awkward pdf that starts with "Further
Reading" (the intro section is placed before it, but doesn't have a
chapter marker!) and ends with a massive "Other help pages" chapter
that includes *the entire rest of the docs*.
But it's generally readable and acceptably formatted (with a lot of
empty pages in between).
* string: Allow `collect --no-empty` to avoid empty ellision
Currently we still have that issue where
test -n (thing | string collect)
can return true if `thing` doesn't print anything, because the
collected argument will still be removed.
So, what we do is allow `--no-empty` to be used, in which case we
print one empty argument.
This means
test -n (thing | string collect -n)
can now be safely used.
"no-empty" isn't the best name for this flag, but string's design
really incentivizes reusing names, and it's not *terrible*.
* Switch to `--allow-empty`
`--no-empty` does the exact opposite for `string split` and split0.
Since `-a`/`--allow-empty` already exists, use it.
First, I changed "the escape key" to :kbd:`Esc`. This makes this information
easier to find when scanning the docs because it stands out and because it is
more consistent with the docs's formatting of keyboard keys.
Additionally, emphasize that escape/page-down can be used to edit
the original search sting.
Finally, I added a link from the FAQ to history-search to make this mechanism
easier to discover.
This was all to address confusion in former zsh and bash users as to how to
edit a search that is in progress, but this will also help new users. See
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/6686#issuecomment-872960760
Especially in dark-mode this was often too close to the background.
Should make it easier to read.
As always, colors not checked for artistic merit for I have none.
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
This set "clear: both", which resulted in code blocks sometimes being
pushed down a lot, resulting in weird empty space.
Just undo it, I have no idea why it's there, presumably it makes sense
with sphinx' stock theme?
This spoke of "--bold" and "-b", which are two different things - "-b"
is short for "--background", bold is "-o".
Instead let's just mention the long versions of all the switches.
See #8053.
A bunch of our variables are only relevant for interactive use, but
this is two whole sections on them. Simply move them inside "Syntax
highlighting" and leave the link in Special Variables.
* Try to set LC_CTYPE to something UTF-8 capable
When fish is started with LC_CTYPE=C (even just effectively, often via
LC_ALL=C!), it's basically broken. There's no way to handle non-ASCII
characters with a C locale unless we want to write our
locale-independent replacements for all of the system functions.
Since we're not going to do that, let's try to find *some locale* for
LC_CTYPE.
We already do that in __fish_setlocale, but that's
- a bit of a weird thing that reads unstandardized system
configuration files
- allows setting locale to C explicitly
So it's still easily possible to end up in a broken configuration.
Now, the issue with this is that there is (AFAICT) no portable way to
get a list of all allowed locales and C.UTF-8 is not standardized, so
we have no one locale to fall back on and are forced to try a few. The
list we have here is quite arbitrary, but it's a start.
Python does something similar and only tries C.UTF-8, C.utf8 and
"UTF-8".
Once C.UTF-8 is (hopefully) standardized, that will just start
working (tm).
Note that we do not *export* the fixed LC_CTYPE variable, so external
programs still have to deal with the C locale, but we have no real
business messing with the user's environment.
To turn it off: $fish_allow_singlebyte_locale, if set to something true (like "1"),
will re-run the locale initialization and skip the bit where we force
LC_CTYPE to be utf8-capable.
This is mainly used in our tests, but might also be useful if people
are trying to do something weird.
Chrome says that's better, presumably because it can then tell how
large the image is before it's loaded. Not that this tiny image really
is a massive problem, but let's be good, not acceptable.
This led to pydoctheme.css being included *twice*, which led to
everything it included being included twice, which was annoying in
firefox when playing with the styles.
I don't *think* it had any performance impact?
The file is called "config.fish", not "init.fish". We'll call it
"configuration" now.
"Initialization" might be slightly more precise, but in an irritating
way.
Also some wording improvements to the section. In particular we now
mention config.fish *early*, before the whole shebang.
Otherwise there's this weird *gap*, where the sections are narrow even
tho there's plenty of space?
So you have this screen layout:
```table
| sidebar | text |
| sidebar | narr |
| sidebar | ower |
| sidebar | than |
| sidebar | need |
| sidebar | ed |
```
For some gosh-forsaken reason.
Prior to this change, a function with an on-job-exit event handler must be
added with the pgid of the job. But sometimes the pgid of the job is fish
itself (if job control is disabled) and the previous commit made last_pid
an actual pid from the job, instead of its pgroup.
Switch on-job-exit to accept any pid from the job (except fish itself).
This allows it to be used directly with $last_pid, except that it now
works if job control is off. This is implemented by "resolving" the pid to
the internal job id at the point the event handler is added.
Also switch to passing the last pid of the job, rather than its pgroup.
This aligns better with $last_pid.
This is an attempt to make these more visible - the intro section
explains what this is, and then we mention where to go, and after that
we go into installation and stuff.
I don't think putting "where to go" *after* the installation
instruction is correct, but maybe it is? For the time being, we keep
the order as it is.
fish_private_mode is active if set to something non-empty, but the docs
suggested checking if it is set at all. Switch the docs to match the
implementation through `test -n "$fish_private_mode"`
Fixes#8001
Apparently new sphinxen want to create an *additional* section
directory, so things end up in /usr/share/fish/man/man1/1, instead of /usr/share/fish/man/man1
Why? No idea.
I can't reproduce it but I'm told this section fixes it.
Fixes#7996
It's a bit weird to *have* to fire up a browser to get fish_config to
choose a prompt.
So this adds a `prompt` subcommand to `fish_config`:
- `fish_config prompt list` shows all the available prompt names
- `fish_config prompt show` demos the available sample prompts
- `fish_config prompt choose` sources a prompt
- `fish_config prompt save` makes the choice permanent
A bare `fish_config` or `fish_config browse` opens the web UI.
Part of #3625.
TODO: This shows the right prompt on a new line. Showing it in-line is awkward
to do because we'd have to move it to the right.
This prints a description of the "host". Currently that's
`(chroot:debianchroot) $USER@$hostname`
with the chroot part when needed.
This also switches the default and terlar prompts to use it, the other
prompts have slightly different coloring or logic here.
When building the docs with an old sphinx (like e.g. on Debian), this
would break links in the search results.
This happens because we've nabbed the searchtools.js from a sphinx to
add our special handling of short builtins like "and", "end", "cd" (as
part of #7757).
I don't believe this will change *a lot* in practice, so it's probably
still okay, but this hack is still worthwhile.
See #7946
Otherwise this would look ugly by stopping the gradient after the
content, so in e.g. the `end` or `false` page it would leave an ugly stripe at
the bottom.
