Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
``abbr`` manages abbreviations - user-defined words that are replaced with longer phrases after they are entered.
|
|
|
|
For example, a frequently-run command like ``git checkout`` can be abbreviated to ``gco``.
|
|
After entering ``gco`` and pressing :kbd:`Space` or :kbd:`Enter`, the full text ``git checkout`` will appear in the command line.
|
|
|
|

Add a new abbreviation where ``gco`` will be replaced with ``git checkout`` global to the current shell.

|
Internals
|
|
---------
|
|
Each abbreviation is stored in its own global or universal variable.
|
|
The name consists of the prefix ``_fish_abbr_`` followed by the WORD after being transformed by ``string escape style=var``.
|
|
The WORD cannot contain a space but all other characters are legal.
|
|
|
|
Abbreviations created with the **--universal** flag will be visible to other fish sessions, whilst **--global** will be limited to the current session.
