# This is meant to be bound to key sequences such as \e#. It provides a simple way to quickly # comment/uncomment the current command. This is something introduced by the Korn shell (ksh) in # 1993. It allows you to capture a command in the shell history without executing it. Then # retrieving the command from the shell history and removing the comment chars. # # This deliberately does not execute the command when removing the comment characters to give you an # opportunity to modify the command. Also if the commandline is empty, the most recently commented # out history item is uncommented and presented. function __fish_toggle_comment_commandline --description 'Comment/uncomment the current command' set -l cmdlines (commandline -b) if test "$cmdlines" = "" set cmdlines (history search -p "#" --max=1) end set -l cmdlines (printf '%s\n' '#'$cmdlines | string replace -r '^##' '') commandline -r $cmdlines string match -q '#*' $cmdlines[1] and commandline -f execute end
