![]() For compound commands we already have begin/end but > it is long, which it is not convenient for the command line > it is different than {} which shell users have been using for >50 years The difference from {} can break muscle memory and add extra steps when I'm trying to write simple commands that work in any shell. Fix that by embracing the traditional style too. --- Since { and } have always been special syntax in fish, we can also allow { } { echo } which I find intuitive even without having used a shell that supports this (like zsh. The downside is that this doesn't work in some other shells. The upside is in aesthetics and convenience (this is for interactive use). Not completely sure about this. --- This implementation adds a hack to the tokenizer: '{' is usually a brace expansion. Make it compound command when in command position (not something the tokenizer would normally know). We need to disable this when parsing a freestanding argument lists (in "complete somecmd -a "{true,false}"). It's not really clear what "read -t" should do. For now, keep the existing behavior (don't parse compound statements). Add another hack to increase backwards compatibility: parse something like "{ foo }" as brace statement only if it has a space after the opening brace. This style is less likely to be used for brace expansion. Perhaps we can change this in future (I'll make a PR). Use separate terminal token types for braces; we could make the left brace an ordinary string token but since string tokens undergo unescaping during expansion etc., every such place would need to know whether it's dealing with a command or an argument. Certainly possible but it seems simpler (especially for tab-completions) to strip braces in the parser. We could change this. --- In future we could allow the following alternative syntax (which is invalid today). if true { } if true; { } Closes #10895 Closes #10898 |
