Now command, jobs, type, abbr, builtin, functions and set take `-q` to
query for existence, but the long option is inconsistent.
The first three use `--quiet`, the latter use `--query`. Add `--query`
to the first three, but keep `--quiet` around.
Fixes#7276.
Instead of informing the bell character (hex 07), the example was using
an escaped \ followed by x07.
$ echo \\x07
\x07
$ echo \x07
$ echo \x07 | od -a
0000000 bel nl
0000002

* docs: Use \u instead of \\u
Instead of informing the Unicode character 慡, this example was using an
escaped \ followed by u6161.
$ echo \\u6161
\u6161
$ echo \u6161
慡
Before:
$ string escape --style=var 'a1 b2'\\u6161 | string unescape --style=var
a1 b2\u6161
Now:
$ string escape --style=var 'a1 b2'\u6161 | string unescape --style=var
a1 b2慡
Just as `math "bitand(5,3)"` and `math "bitor(6,2)"`.
These cast to long long before doing their thing,
so they truncate to an integer, producing weird results with floats.
That's to be expected because float representation is *very*
different, and performing bitwise operations on floats feels quite useless.
Fixes#7281.
Was: "parameter expansion takes before expressions are evaluated."
Now: "parameter expansion happens before expressions are evaluated."
I suspect the original intent was to use "takes place," but I see "happens" as less idiomatic and therefore may benefit non-English-native users.
Also return the number of failed files.
I decided to *just* print the filenames (newline-separated because
NULLs are annoying here) to make it easier to deal with.
See #7251.
This was always awkward as fish script, and had problems with
interrupting the autoloading.
Note that we still leave the old function intact to facilitate easier
upgrading for now.
Fixes#7145.
Add a helper function to check if the user is root. This function can be
useful for the prompts for example. Modify the prompts made root checked
to use the function instead. Add also the support of Administrator like
a root user.
Fixes: #7031
There's a terrible number of fishscripts that start with
set path (dirname (status filename))
And that's really just a bit boring.
So let's let it be
set path (status dirname)
* 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.
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 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.
Fixes#6681.
