* Add an "_" builtin to call into gettext
We already have gettext in C++ (if available), so it seems weird to
fork off a command to start it from script.
This is only for fish's own translations. There's no way to call into
other catalogs, it just translates all arguments separately.
This is faster by a factor of ~1000, which allows us to call
translations much more, especially from scripts.
E.g. making fish_greeting global by default would hurt cost-wise,
given that my fish starts up in 8ms and just calling the current `_`
function takes 2ms, and that would have two calls.
Incidentally, this also makes us rely on a weirdly defined function
less, so it:
Fixes#6804.
* docs: Add `_` docs
Let's see if that filename works out.
* Reword _ docs
This is a function you can either execute once, interactively, or
stick in config.fish, and it will do the right thing.
Some options are included to choose some slightly different behavior,
like setting $PATH directly instead of $fish_user_paths, or moving
already existing components to the front/back instead of ignoring
them, or appending new components instead of prepending them.
The defaults were chosen because they are the most safe, and
especially because they allow it to be idempotent - running it again
and again and again won't change anything, it won't even run the
actual `set` because it skips that if all components are already in.
Fixes#6960.
At least on some versions/systems, pkg-config outputs a trailing
space. Since the usually-desired behavior isn't to have a blank argument,
recommend using `string split -n` instead of `string split`.
Fixes#6836.

When we say "the XYZ command/builtin", we should typically include a
link. The exceptions are
- In the documentation for that command - no need to link to ulimit in
the ulimit page
- When we've already linked before - not every thing needs to be
clickable, or clicking it will cause the browser to mark fifty words
as visited. This is roughly what wikipedia does for crosslinks.

This was meant as an alternative key name or something, but it's just

where we explain the left/right bindings anyway.

This adds a new readline command self-insert-notfirst, which is
analogous to self-insert, except that it does nothing if the cursor
is at the beginning. This will serve as a higher-performance implementation
for stripping leading spaces on paste.
The default hg prompt is slow on large repositories (hg status takes
2-3 seconds on mozilla-central) which is unacceptable as a default.
Mimick our git prompt: by default, only show the current branch.
If the new variable $fish_prompt_hg_show_informative_status is set,
then use the old behavior.

This was written before local-exported variables did anything useful.
Passing these vars as local-exports removes the need to define the
validation function with `--no-scope-shadowing` which is quite the
hack.
This is apparently quite slow on large svn repos (like 40 seconds
slow), and we don't have a good thing to display other than the full
file information.
So we'll have to disable it for now.

This used to use doxygen's html blocks, which don't have a *direct*
equivalent in sphinx in code blocks.
Instead of adding this to the pygments highlighter, let's just use
some roles.
It's a teensy bit awkward as we then use block styling, but we want to
add more of our own styling anyway, so we can presumably get this
somehow, and these html tags look awkward and confuse people.

Changes according to the feedback have been made:
- What is a shell section has been moved before Installation and Start section
- Content changes have been made as suggested in both of the above sections.
300ms was waaay too long, and even 100ms wasn't necessary.
Emacs' evil mode uses 10ms (0.01s), so let's stay a tad higher in case
some terminals are slow.
If anyone really wants to be able to type alt+h with escape, let them
raise the timeout.

Originally I sought out to configure the foreground color of the
selected text in the pager. After reading a thread on a github issue I
was inpired to do more: now you can conifgure any part of the pager when
selected, and when a row is secondary. More specifically this commit adds the
ability to specify a pager row's:
- Prefix
- Completion text
- Description
- Background
when said row is selected or secondary.
* Replace "env" with "expr" in the test manpage
I'm pretty sure `env` isn't capable of comparing numbers and the author meant `expr`.
* Update the docs regarding floats support in test
For things like
source $undefined
or
source (nooutput)
it was quite annoying that it read from tty.
Instead we now require a "-" as the filename to read from the tty.
This does not apply to reading from stdin if it's redirected, so
something | source
still works.
Fixes#2633.
This commit begins to bake in a notion of path-style variables.
Prior to this fix, fish would export arrays as ASCII record separator
delimited, except for a whitelist (PATH, CDPATH, MANPATH). This is
surprising and awkward for other programs to deal with, and there's no way
to get similar behavior for other variables like GOPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
This commit does the following:
1. Exports all arrays as colon delimited strings, instead of RS.
2. Introduces a notion of "path variable." A path variable will be
"colon-delimited" which means it gets colon-separated in quoted expansion,
and automatically splits on colons. In this commit we only do the exporting
part.
Colons are not escaped in exporting; this is deliberate to support uses
like
`set -x PYTHONPATH "/foo:/bar"`
which ought to work (and already do, we don't want to make a compat break
here).
Retrieves the fully resolved path to the currently executing fish binary
(regardless of PATH). Can be used to ensure that the same fish is
launched again from a script.
`get_executable_path()` moved from fish binary to libfish, also cleaned
up some duplicated (but differing!) definitions of PATH_MAX (which was
used by that function) in the process.
This switches fish to a "virtual" PWD, where it no longer uses getcwd to
discover its PWD but instead synthesizes it based on normalizing cd against
the $PWD variable.
Both pwd and $PWD contain the virtual path. pwd is taught about -P to
return the physical path, and -L the logical path (which is the default).
Fixes#3350
This allows for marking certain bindings as part of a preset, which allows us to
- only erase those when switching presets
- go back to the preset binding when erasing a user binding
- only show user customization if requested
- make bare bind statements in config.fish work (!!!11elf!!!)
Fixes#5191.
Fixes#3699.
If just one of the range ends is negative, this now forces direction away from it.
I.e. if the beginning is negative, we go in reverse.
If the end is negative, we go forwards.
This fixes cases like
$var[2..-1]
if $var only has one element.
One key use of process expansion, used in currently-shipped code, is for running a function on
current shell exit.
Restore the use of %self as a valid argument (and add `self`) and document this change.

When number is infinite, not a number, larger than LONG_MAX or smaller
than LONG_MIN, print a corresponding error and return STATUS_CMD_ERROR.
This should fix the worst of the problems, by at least making them clear.

We no longer use muparser, but tinyexpr.
tinyexpr does not have:

This is part of an effort to improve fish's Unicode handling. This commit
attempts to grapple with the fact that, certain characters (principally
emoji) were considered to have a wcwidth of 1 in Unicode 8, but a width of
2 in Unicode 9.
The system wcwidth() here cannot be trusted; terminal emulators do not
respect it. iTerm2 even allows this to be set in preferences.
This commit introduces a new function is_width_2_in_Uni9_but_1_in_Uni8() to
detect characters of version-ambiguous width. For these characters, it
returns a width guessed based on the value of TERM_PROGRAM and
TERM_VERSION, defaulting to 1. This value can be overridden by setting the
value of a new variable fish_emoji_width (presumably either to 1 or 2).
Fixes#4539, #2652.
The previous hack used to work around an OS X issue/bug where launching
a URL with a #fragment appended would drop the fragment by using
`osascript` does not seem to work any more. Append the section name as a
query string (in addition to, not instead of #section) and then use some
basic javascript appended to the user doc HTML template to parse that
and jump to the correct section (if the section was dropped).

"Use the fish_update_completions command.", the answer to "How do I update man page completions?", was also found at the end of the answer to "How do I get the exit status of a command?"
* 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`.

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
