When a terminal sends \x1ba, that could be either escape,a or alt-a.
Historically we've handled this with an escape delay that defaults to 30
milliseconds. If we read nothing for that time, it's escape. Otherwise it's
an alt modifier (or an escape sequence).
As a side effect of 8bf8b10f6 (Extended & human-friendly keys, 2024-03-30) we
added a new way of disambiguating escape: whenever we read the escape byte,
we immediately try another (nonblocking) read. If it succeeds, we treat it
as modifier, else it's escape. Before that commit, we didn't have a concept
of modifiers.
The new way works fine for disambiguating escape,a from alt-a (as pressed
by the user) because only for alt-a the data is sent in the same packet.
So we no longer need the escape delay to disambiguate the alt from the
escape key. Let's simplify things by not using it by default.
The escape delay as set by fish_escape_delay_ms also serves another purpose;
it allows to disambiguate "escape,a" from "escape (pause) a". For that use
case we want to keep it.
As mentioned in 8a7c3ceec (Don't abandon line after writing control sequences,
2024-04-06) we need to freshed stdout timestamps after writing to stdout
but before we might redraw, in particular when writing control sequences.
Commit a583fe723 ("commandline -f foo" to skip queue and execute immediately,
2024-04-08) made "commandline -f repaint" redraw immediately, while still
executing the bound shell command; at that time we have written "disabling"
sequences but not refreshed timestamps yet, so do that.
This is probably not needed for commands outside the repaint family.
Needless to say that this is messy, maybe we can simplify things in future.
Ref https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/10409#issuecomment-2044863817
A failing test might emit an OSC 133 prompt marking sequence, confusing
the parent terminal to think the test output contains a shell prompt. Let's
remove these.
If a key's codepoint is in the PUA1 range, it could
be either from our own named keys (like key::Space)
or from a CSI u key that we haven't assigned a name yet
https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#functional-key-definitions
(The latter can still be bound using the \u1234 or the equivalent \e[4660u
raw CSI u sequence.)
It doesn't make sense to insert a PUA character into the commandline when
the user presses PrintScreen; ignore them silently.
This partially reverts b77d1d0e2 (Stop crashing on invalid Unicode input,
2024-02-27). That commit did:
1. convert input byte sequences that map to a PUA codepoint into several
characters, using our on-char-per-byte PUA encoding.
2. do the same for inputs that are codepoints outside the valid Unicode range.
3. render them as replacement character (one per input byte)
In future, we should probably remove these features altogether, and simply
ignore invalid Unicode code points.
Commit c3cd68dda (Process shell commands from bindings like regular char
events, 2024-03-02) mentions a "weird ordering difference".
The issue is that "commandline -f foo" goes through the input
queue while other commands are executed directly.
For example
bind ctrl-g "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
is executed in the wrong order. Fix that.
This doesn't yet work for "commandline -f exit" but that can be fixed easily.
It's hard to imagine anyone would rely on the existing behavior. "commandline
-f" in bindings is mostly used for repainting the commandline.
If a binding was input starting with "\e", it's usually a raw control sequence.
Today we display the canonical version like:
bind --preset alt-\[,1,\;,5,C foo
even if the input is
bind --preset \e\[1\;5C foo
Make it look like the input again. This looks more familiar and less
surprising (especially since we canonicalize CSI to "alt-[").
Except that we use the \x01 representation instead of \ca because the
"control" part can be confusing. We're inside an escape sequence so it seems
highly unlikely that an ASCII control character actually comes from the user
holding the control key.
The downside is that this hides the canonical version; it might be surprising
that a raw-escape-sequence binding can be erased using the new syntax and
vice versa.
We don't yet support all keys from
https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#functional-key-definitions
Instead of displaying a private-use character, show the character code;
this can be used to map the key even if we don't know a name for it.
bind \uE011 'echo print screen'
bind ctrl-\uE011 'echo do control + print screen'
Note that it's also possible to mape the raw CSI u sequence, like
bind \e\[57361u 'echo print screen'
but we should not encourage that syntax because it does not allow adding
the modifiers like ctrl.
Of course leaking the PUA character code is not ideal.
As implied by the changelog.
Unfortunately it's not obvious how to access the RefCell value in spite
of a potential (albeit unlikely) present mutable borrow. We need to use a
different type to make it work in such cases, hopefully doing that in future.
In future we could even use panic=abort and use this style of cleanup for
panics (instead of RAII).
For numpad 1 with nulock, Alacritty sends
escape,[,5,7,4,0,0,u
which is codepoint \x31, key "1". We have a terminfo mapping for "sright"
which translates to
escape,[,1,;,2,C
The first two characters, escape and [ match. Then we accidentally match the
"1" from the mapping against the entire sequence, because that sequence is
canonicalized to codepoint "1" . The most blatant problem is that we discard
the rest of the sequence. Fix that.
This allows us to re-enable raw CSI u mappings like "bind \e[1u ..."
which is what kitty uses for shell integration.
This allows terminals like foot and kitty to
* scroll to the previous/next prompt with ctrl-shift-{z,x}
* pipe the last command's output to a pager with ctrl-shift-g
Kitty has existing fish shell integration
shell-integration/fish/vendor_conf.d/kitty-shell-integration.fish which we
can simplify now. They keep a state variable to decide which of prompt start,
command start or command end to output. I think with our implementation
this is no longer necessary, at least I couldn't reproduce any difference.
We also don't need to hook into fish_cancel or fish_posterror like they do;
only in the one place where we actually draw the prompt.
As mentioned in the above shell integration script, kitty disables reflow
when it sees an OSC 133 marker, so we need to do it ourselves,
otherwise the prompt will go blank after a terminal resize.
Closes#10352
If I type
$ echo $SOME_VARIABLE_WIHT_A_TYPO
$ set -S SOME_VARIABLE_WIHT
and press tab, I'm always extremely surprised that this completes to
$ set -S fish_history
which is because $history[1] contains the typo'd variable name. I don't
think anyone intends to filter by that last 3-4 history items, so let's
remove this pitfall.
Note that I usually hit this scenario with undefined variables, not necessarily
typos.. "set -S" is usually redundant but it's still quite nice in this case,
to rule out any weird empty strings/empty lists.
Commit 8164855b7 (Disable terminal protocols throughout evaluation, 2024-04-02)
changed where we output control sequences (to enable bracketed paste and CSI).
Likewise, f285e85b0 (Enable focus reporting only just before reading from
stdin, 2024-04-06) added control sequence output just before we read().
This output causes problems because it invalidates our stdout/stderr
timestamps, which causes us to think that a rogue background process wrote
to the terminal; we react by abandoning the current line and redrawing the
prompt below. Our fix was to refresh the TTY timestamps after we run a bind
command that might add stdout (#3481).
Since commit c3cd68dda (Process shell commands from bindings like regular
char events, 2024-03-02), this timestamp refresh logic is in the wrong place;
shell commands are run later now; we could move it but wait -
... we also need to make sure to refresh timestamps after outputting control
sequences. Since bracketed paste is enabled after CSI u, we can skip the
latter. Additionally, since we currently output control sequences before
every single top-level interactive command, we no longer need to separately
refresh timestamps in between commands.
Fixes#10409
Some terminals send the focus-in sequences ("^[I") whenever focus reporting is
enabled. We enable focus reporting whenever we are finished running a command.
If we run two commands without reading in between, the focus sequences
will show up on the terminal.
Fix this by enabling focus-reporting as late as possible.
This fixes the problem with `^[I` showing up when running "cat" in
gnome-terminal https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/10411.
This begs the question if we should do the same for CSI u and bracketed paste.
It's difficult to answer that; let's hope we find motivating test cases.
If we enable CSI u too late, we might misinterpret key presses, so for now
we still enable those as early as possible.
Also, since we now read immediately after enabling focus events, we can get
rid of the hack where we defer enabling them until after the first prompt.
When I start a fresh terminal, the ^[I no longer shows up.
It's not clear whether builtin read should be able to do everything
that the normal prompt does but I guess we haven't found a problem yet.
Given that read could be used to read a single character at a type,
it's a bit odd to toggle terminal protocols all the time.
But that's not the typical case (at least not for when stdin is a TTY),
and it seems fine.
Teste with
bind ctrl-4 'echo yay'
Regressed in 8164855b7 (Disable terminal protocols throughout evaluation,
2024-04-02).
Apparently VTE terminals send the "focus in" event whenever we re-enable
focus reporting. That's probably a sensible thing to do.
Anyway, our problem is simply that we accidentally end history search on these
focus events which are implemented as anonymous (unmappable) readline cmds.
Perhaps there should be a separate cmd category.
Focus events show up as key::Invalid which is a weird private use code point;
probably we can get rid of this key..
Fixes#10411
Similar to 20bbdb68f (Set terminal title unconditionally, 2024-03-30).
While at it, get rid of a few unnecessary guards (we are never called from
a command substitution, so the check only adds confusion).
I'm not sure if it's worth supporting a terminal that mishandles unknown OSC
and CSI sequences. Better to fix the terminal. Note that there are Emacs
terminals available that don't have this problems; for example "vterm".
