The [disambiguate flag](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#disambiguate) means that:
> In particular, ctrl+c will no longer generate the SIGINT signal,
> but instead be delivered as a CSI u escape code.
so cancellation only works while we turn off disambiguation.
Today we turn it off while running external commands that want to
claim the TTY. Also we do it (only as a workaround for this issue)
while expanding wildcards or while running builtin wait.
However there are other cases where we don't have a workaround,
like in trivial infinite loops or when opening a fifo.
Before we run "while true; end", we put the terminal back in ICANON
mode. This means it's line-buffered, so we won't be able to detect
if the user pressed ctrl-c.
Commit 8164855b7 (Disable terminal protocols throughout evaluation,
2024-04-02) had the right solution: simply disable terminal protocols
whenever we do computations that might take a long time.
eval_node() covers most of that; there are a few others.
As pointed out in #10494, the logic was fairly unsophisticated then:
it toggled terminal protocols many times. The fix in 29f2da8d1
(Toggle terminal protocols lazily, 2024-05-16) went to the extreme
other end of only toggling protocols when absolutely necessary.
Back out part of that commit by toggling in eval_node() again,
fixing cancellation. Fortunately, we can keep most of the benefits
of the lazy approach from 29f2da8d1: we toggle only 2 times instead
of 8 times for an empty prompt.
There are only two places left where we call signal_check_cancel()
without necessarily disabling the disambiguate flag
1. open_cloexec() we assume that the files we open outside eval_node()
are never blocking fifos.
2. fire_delayed(). Judging by commit history, this check is not
relevant for interactive sessions; we'll soon end up calling
eval_node() anyway.
In future, we can leave bracketed paste, modifyOtherKeys and
application keypad mode turned on again, until we actually run an
external command. We really only want to turn off the disambiguate
flag.
Since this is approach is overly complex, I plan to go with either
of these two alternatives in future:
- extend the kitty keyboard protocol to optionally support VINTR,
VSTOP and friends. Then we can drop most of these changes.
- poll stdin for ctrl-c. This promises a great simplification,
because it implies that terminal ownership (term_steal/term_donate)
will be perfectly synced with us enabling kitty keyboard protocol.
This is because polling requires us to turn off ICANON.
I started working on this change; I'm convinced it must work,
but it's not finished yet. Note that this will also want to
add stdin polling to builtin wait.

This should make the sort have a strict weak ordering, which rust
requires since 1.81 (or it will panic).
Note: This changes the order, but that's *fine* since the current
order is random weirdness anyway.
Fixes#10763
byte_to_symbol was broken because it didn't iterate by byte, it
iterated by rust-char, which is a codepoint.
So it failed for everything outside of ascii and, because of a
mistaken bound, ascii chars from 0x21 to 0x2F ("!" to "/" - all the punctuation).
char_to_symbol will print printable codepoints as-is and
others escaped. This is okay - something like `decoded from: +` or
`decoded from: ö` is entirely understandable, there is no need to tell
you that "ö" is \xc3\xb6.
This reverts commit 423e5f6c03.
The special input functions self-insert, self-insert-not-first, and
and or used to be handled by inputter_t::readch, but they aren't
anymore with `commandline -f`.
I am unsure if these *would* have worked, I can't come up with a use.
So, for now, do nothing instead of panicking.
This would crash if you ran `commandline -f backward-jump`.
The C++ version would read a char (but badly), this doesn't anymore.
So, at least instead of crashing, just do nothing.
On this binding we fail to disable CSI u
bind c-t '
begin
set -lx FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS --height 40% --bind=ctrl-z:ignore
eval fzf | while read -l r; echo read $r; end
end
'
because for "fzf", ParseExecutionContext::setup_group() returns early with the
parent process group (which should be fish's own) , hence "wants_terminal"
is false. This seems questionable, I don't think the eval should make a
difference here.
For now, don't touch it; use the more accurate way of detecting whether
a process may read keyboard input. In many of such cases "wants_terminal"
is false, like
echo (echo 1\n2\n3 | fzf)
Fixes#10504
Prior to this change, signals.py attempted to generate Ctrl-C (SIGINT) by
sending \x03 to stdin. But with the change to use the CSI U sequence, Ctrl-C no
longer generates SIGINT.
Switch to sending SIGINT directly. Also switch up some of the sleep constants so
that a sleep command can't be confused with another one.
This allows making something like
```fish
abbr --add gc --position anywhere --command git back 'reset --hard
HEAD^'
```
to expand "gc" to "reset --hard HEAD^", but only if the command is
git (including "command git gc" or "and git gc").
Fixes#9411
I have no idea why this matches the string thrice when it is entered
once and suggestions are disabled.
I've seen this fail even on my local system, I expect it works because
of some terminal integration.
We sometimes leak ^[[I and ^[[O focus reporting events when run from VSCode's
"Run python file" button in the top right corner. To reproduce I installed
the ms-python extension set the VSCode default shell to fish and repeatedly
ran a script that does "time.sleep(1)". I believe VSCode synthesizes keys
and triggers a race condition.
We can probably fix this but I'm not sure when I'll get to it (given how
relatively unimportant this feature is).
So let's go back to the old behavior of only enabling focus reporting in tmux.
I believe that tmux is affected by the same VSCode issue (also on 3.7.1 I
think) but I haven't been able to get tmux to emit focus reporting sequences
yet. Still, keep it to not regress cursor shape (#4788). So far this is
the only motivation for focus reporting and I believe it is only relevant
for terminals that can split windows (though there are a bunch that do).
Closes#10448
On
a;
we don't expand the abbreviation because the cursor is right of semicolon,
not on the command token. Fix this by making sure that we call expand-abbr
with the cursor on the semicolon which is the end of the command token.
(Now that our bind command execution order is less surprising, this is doable.)
This means that we need to fix the cursor after successfully expanding
an abbreviation. Do this by setting the position explicitly even when no
--set-position is in effect.
An earlier version of this patch used
bind space self-insert backward-char expand-abbr or forward-char
The problem with that (as a failing test shows) was that given "abbr m
myabbr", after typing "m space ctrl-z", the cursor would be after the "m",
not after the space. The second space removes the space, not changing the
cursor position, which is weird. I initially tried to fix this by adding
a hack to the undo group logic, to always restore the cursor position from
when begin-undo-group was used.
bind space self-insert begin-undo-group backward-char expand-abbr end-undo-group or forward-char
However this made test_torn_escapes.py fail for mysterious reasons.
I believe this is because that test registers and triggers a SIGUSR1 handler;
since the signal handler will rearrange char events, that probably messes
with the undo group guards.
I resorted to adding a tailor-made readline cmd. We could probably remove
it and give the new behavior to expand-abbr, not sure.
Fixes#9730
File names that have lots of spaces look quite ugly when inserted as
completions because every space will have a backslash.
Add an initial heuristic to decide when to use quotes instead of
backslash escapes.
Quote when
1. it's not an autosuggestion
2. we replace the token or insert a fresh one
3. we will add a space at the end
In future we could relax some of these requirements.
Requirement 2 means we don't quote when appending to an existing token.
Need to find a natural behavior here.
Re 3, if the completion adds no space, users will probably want to add more
characters, which looks a bit weird if the token has a trailing quote.
We could relax this requirement for directory completions, so «ls so»
completes to «ls 'some dir with spaces'/».
Closes#5433
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.
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.
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
A long standing issue is that bindings cannot mix special input functions
and shell commands. For example,
bind x end-of-line "commandline -i x"
silently does nothing. Instead we have to do lift everything to shell commands
bind x "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
for no good reason.
Additionally, there is a weird ordering difference between special input
functions and shell commands. Special input functions are pushed into the
the queue whereas shell commands are executed immediately.
This weird ordering means that the above "bind x" still doesn't work as
expected, because "commandline -i" is processed before "end-of-line".
Finally, this is all implemented via weird hack to allow recursive use of
a mutable reference to the reader state.
Fix all of this by processing shell commands the same as both special input
functions and regular chars. Hopefully this doesn't break anything.

Call fish_should_add_to_history to see if a command should be saved
If it returns 0, it will be saved, if it returns anything else, it
will be ephemeral.
It gets the right-trimmed text as the argument.
If it doesn't exist, we do the historical behavior of checking for a
leading space.
That means you can now turn that off by defining a
`fish_should_add_to_history` that just doesn't check it.
