Use the remaining_to_disclose count to determine if all completions
are shown (allows consistent behavior between short and long completion
lists).
Closes#8485
Currently,
set -q --unpath PATH
simply ignores the "--unpath" bit (and same for "--path").
This changes it, so just like exportedness you can check pathness.
Unless we use "complete --require-parameter", we must say "-w32",
not "-w 32", because the second "32" is a positional argument.
Notably, old options do not have this behavior, which is a bit weird,

* fish_key_reader: Simplify default output
It now only prints the bind statement. Timing information and such is
relegated to a separate "verbose" mode.
* Adjust fish_key_reader docs
* Adjust tests
Unlike in other shells, for-loops do not set $status if
1. the loop count is zero, or if
2. the loop body consists of only commands like "set" that don't
set $status.
POSIX for-loops always set an exit status (they set 0 if no loop
iterations). Following that would be awkward because it would add a
lot of complexity in combination with the 2 special cases above.
Document that "for" behaves the same as "set": it will pass through
existing $status, and also the last child's $status.
See the discussion in #8409
Unfortunately, currently :program: doesn't link to the program's page.
So we use the old-school :ref: again where we should link, i.e. for
everything that's not the program the current page is about.
Fixes#8438
Documents like fish-tutorial don't need the NAME portion below.
(they also shoudln't be in section 1! These should be section 7,
they aren't for programs.)
the manpage writer will skip NAME if given an empty sstring as
the description.

FISH-TUTORIAL(1) fish-shell FISH-TUTORIAL(1)
NAME
fish-tutorial - fish-shell tutorial
This fixes the indentation problem for the SYNOPSIS section by not
inserting the :: literal block. Format it the same way Sphinx does
their own manpages for commands.
Use more semantic markup, like :command:, so that commands are
highlighted in the man pages.
Split by sentence to give `man` a chance to ascertain lines.
Long-term, it should be possible to teach Sphinx to turn :command:s
into references and get us automatic links to articles for matching
cmds/*.
* commandline: Add --is-valid option to query whether it's syntactically complete
This means querying when the commandline is in a state that it could
be executed. Because our `execute` bind function also inserts a
newline if it isn't.
One case that's not handled right now: `execute` also expands
abbreviations, those can technically make the commandline invalid
again.
Unfortunately we have no real way to *check* without doing the
replacement.
Also since abbreviations are only available in command position when
you _execute_ them the commandline will most likely be valid.
This is enough to make transient prompts work:
```fish
function reset-transient --on-event fish_postexec
set -g TRANSIENT 0
end
function maybe_execute
if commandline --is-valid
set -g TRANSIENT 1
commandline -f repaint
else
set -g TRANSIENT 0
end
commandline -f execute
end
bind \r maybe_execute
```
and then in `fish_prompt` react to $TRANSIENT being set to 1.
* Add `set --function`
This makes the function's scope available, even inside of blocks. Outside of blocks it's the toplevel local scope.
This removes the need to declare variables locally before use, and will probably end up being the main way variables get set.
E.g.:
```fish
set -l thing
if condition
set thing one
else
set thing two
end
```
could be written as
```fish
if condition
set -f thing one
else
set -f thing two
end
```
Note: Many scripts shipped with fish use workarounds like `and`/`or`
instead of `if`, so it isn't easy to find good examples.
Also, if there isn't an else-branch in that above, just with
```fish
if condition
set -f thing one
end
```
that means something different from setting it before! Now, if
`condition` isn't true, it would use a global (or universal) variable of
te same name!
Some more interesting parts:
Because it *is* a local scope, setting a variable `-f` and
`-l` in the toplevel of a function ends up the same:
```fish
function foo2
set -l foo bar
set -f foo baz # modifies the *same* variable!
end
```
but setting it locally inside a block creates a new local variable
that shadows the function-scoped variable:
```fish
function foo3
set -f foo bar
begin
set -l foo banana
# $foo is banana
end
# $foo is bar again
end
```
This is how local variables already work. "Local" is actually "block-scoped".
Also `set --show` will only show the closest local scope, so it won't
show a shadowed function-level variable. Again, this is how local
variables already work, and could be done as a separate change.
As a fun tidbit, functions with --no-scope-shadowing can now use this to set variables in the calling function. That's probably okay given that it's already an escape hatch (but to be clear: if it turns out to problematic I reserve the right to remove it).
Fixes#565
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.
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
* 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
* math: Make function parentheses optional
It's a bit annoying to use parentheses here because that requires
quoting or escaping.
This allows the parens to be omitted, so
math sin pi
is the same as
math 'sin(pi)'
Function calls have the lowest precedence, so
math sin 2 + 6
is the same as
math 'sin(2 + 6)'
* Add more tests
* Add a note to the docs
* even moar docs

Unlike links, these are checked by sphinx and it complains if they
don't match.
Also they have a better chance of doing something useful in outputs
other than html.
After commit 6dd6a57c60, 3 remaining
builtins were affected by uint8_t overflow: `exit`, `return`, and
`functions --query`.
This commit:
- Moves the overflow check from `builtin_set_query` to `builtin_run`.
- Removes a conflicting int -> uint8_t conversion in `builtin_return`.
- Adds tests for the 3 remaining affected builtins.
- Simplifies the wording for the documentation for `set --query`.
- Does not change documentation for `functions --query`, because it does
not state the exit code in its API.
- Updates the CHANGELOG to reflect the change to all builtins.
builtin_set_query returns the number of missing variables. Because the
return value passed to the shell is an 8-bit unsigned integer, if the
number of missing variables is a multiple of 256, it would overflow to 0.
This commit saturates the return value at 255 if there are more than 255
missing variables.
This goes to a separate file because that makes option parsing easier
and allows profiling both at the same time.
The "normal" profile now contains only the profile data of the actual
run, which is much more useful - you can now profile a function by
running
fish -C 'source /path/to/thing' --profile /tmp/thefunction.prof -c 'thefunction'
and won't need to filter out extraneous information.
Currently binding `exit` to a key checks too late that it's exitted,
so it leaves the shell hanging around until the user does an execute
or similar.
As I understand it, the `exit` builtin is supposed to only exit the
current "thread" (once that actually becomes a thing), and the
bindings would probably run in a dedicated one, so the simplest
solution here is to just add an `exit` bind function.
Fixes#7604.
It was always a bit ridiculous that argparse required `X-longflag` if
that "X" short flag was never actually used anywhere.
Since the short letter is for getopt's benefit, we can hack around
this with our old friend: Unicode Private Use Areas.
We have a counter, starting at 0xE000 and going to 0xF8FF, that counts
up for all options that don't have a short flag and provides one. This
gives us up to 6400 long-only options.
6.4K should be enough for everybody.
