Disable terminal protocols before cancellable operations
The [disambiguate flag](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#disambiguate) means that:

> In particular, ctrl+c will no longer generate the SIGINT signal,
> but instead be delivered as a CSI u escape code.

so cancellation only works while we turn off disambiguation.

Today we turn it off while running external commands that want to
claim the TTY.  Also we do it (only as a workaround for this issue)
while expanding wildcards or while running builtin wait.

However there are other cases where we don't have a workaround,
like in trivial infinite loops or when opening a fifo.

Before we run "while true; end", we put the terminal back in ICANON
mode. This means it's line-buffered, so we won't be able to detect
if the user pressed ctrl-c.

Commit 8164855b7 (Disable terminal protocols throughout evaluation,
2024-04-02) had the right solution: simply disable terminal protocols
whenever we do computations that might take a long time.
eval_node() covers most of that; there are a few others.

As pointed out in #10494, the logic was fairly unsophisticated then:
it toggled terminal protocols many times.  The fix in 29f2da8d1
(Toggle terminal protocols lazily, 2024-05-16) went to the extreme
other end of only toggling protocols when absolutely necessary.

Back out part of that commit by toggling in eval_node() again,
fixing cancellation.  Fortunately, we can keep most of the benefits
of the lazy approach from 29f2da8d1: we toggle only 2 times instead
of 8 times for an empty prompt.

There are only two places left where we call signal_check_cancel()
without necessarily disabling the disambiguate flag
1. open_cloexec() we assume that the files we open outside eval_node()
   are never blocking fifos.
2. fire_delayed(). Judging by commit history, this check is not
   relevant for interactive sessions; we'll soon end up calling
   eval_node() anyway.

In future, we can leave bracketed paste, modifyOtherKeys and
application keypad mode turned on again, until we actually run an
external command.  We really only want to turn off the disambiguate
flag.

Since this is approach is overly complex, I plan to go with either
of these two alternatives in future:
- extend the kitty keyboard protocol to optionally support VINTR,
  VSTOP and friends.  Then we can drop most of these changes.
- poll stdin for ctrl-c. This promises a great simplification,
  because it implies that terminal ownership (term_steal/term_donate)
  will be perfectly synced with us enabling kitty keyboard protocol.
  This is because polling requires us to turn off ICANON.
  I started working on this change; I'm convinced it must work,
  but it's not finished yet. Note that this will also want to
  add stdin polling to builtin wait.

`fish <https://fishshell.com/>`__ - the friendly interactive shell |Build Status| |Cirrus CI|
=============================================================================================

fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for macOS, Linux,
and the rest of the family. fish includes features like syntax
highlighting, autosuggest-as-you-type, and fancy tab completions that
just work, with no configuration required.

For downloads, screenshots and more, go to https://fishshell.com/.

Quick Start
-----------

fish generally works like other shells, like bash or zsh. A few
important differences can be found at
https://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html by searching for the
magic phrase “unlike other shells”.

Detailed user documentation is available by running ``help`` within
fish, and also at https://fishshell.com/docs/current/index.html

Getting fish
------------

macOS
~~~~~

fish can be installed:

-  using `Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`__: ``brew install fish``
-  using `MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/>`__:
   ``sudo port install fish``
-  using the `installer from fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com/>`__
-  as a `standalone app from fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com/>`__

Note: The minimum supported macOS version is 10.10 "Yosemite".

Packages for Linux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Packages for Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux/CentOS are available from the `openSUSE Build
Service <https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=shells%3Afish&package=fish>`__.

Packages for Ubuntu are available from the `fish
PPA <https://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/ubuntu/release-3>`__,
and can be installed using the following commands:

::

   sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fish-shell/release-3
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install fish

Instructions for other distributions may be found at
`fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com>`__.

Windows
~~~~~~~

-  On Windows 10/11, fish can be installed under the WSL Windows Subsystem
   for Linux with the instructions for the appropriate distribution
   listed above under “Packages for Linux”, or from source with the
   instructions below.
-  fish (4.0 on and onwards) cannot be installed in Cygwin, due to a lack of Rust support.

Building from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If packages are not available for your platform, GPG-signed tarballs are
available from `fishshell.com <https://fishshell.com/>`__ and
`fish-shell on
GitHub <https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/releases>`__. See the
`Building <#building>`__ section for instructions.

Running fish
------------

Once installed, run ``fish`` from your current shell to try fish out!

Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Running fish requires:

-  A terminfo database, typically from curses or ncurses (preinstalled on most \*nix systems) - this needs to be the directory tree format, not the "hashed" database.
   If this is unavailable, fish uses an included xterm-256color definition.
-  some common \*nix system utilities (currently ``mktemp``), in
   addition to the basic POSIX utilities (``cat``, ``cut``, ``dirname``,
   ``file``, ``ls``, ``mkdir``, ``mkfifo``, ``rm``, ``sort``, ``tee``, ``tr``,
   ``uname`` and ``sed`` at least, but the full coreutils plus ``find`` and
   ``awk`` is preferred)
-  The gettext library, if compiled with
   translation support

The following optional features also have specific requirements:

-  builtin commands that have the ``--help`` option or print usage
   messages require ``nroff`` or ``mandoc`` for
   display
-  automated completion generation from manual pages requires Python 3.5+
-  the ``fish_config`` web configuration tool requires Python 3.5+ and a web browser
-  system clipboard integration (with the default Ctrl-V and Ctrl-X
   bindings) require either the ``xsel``, ``xclip``,
   ``wl-copy``/``wl-paste`` or ``pbcopy``/``pbpaste`` utilities
-  full completions for ``yarn`` and ``npm`` require the
   ``all-the-package-names`` NPM module
-  ``colorls`` is used, if installed, to add color when running ``ls`` on platforms
   that do not have color support (such as OpenBSD)

Building
--------

.. _dependencies-1:

Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compiling fish from a tarball requires:

-  Rust (version 1.70 or later)
-  CMake (version 3.5 or later)
-  a C compiler (for system feature detection and the test helper binary)
-  PCRE2 (headers and libraries) - optional, this will be downloaded if missing
-  gettext (headers and libraries) - optional, for translation support
-  an Internet connection, as other dependencies will be downloaded automatically

Sphinx is also optionally required to build the documentation from a
cloned git repository.

Additionally, running the full test suite requires Python 3, tmux, and the pexpect package.

Building from source (all platforms) - Makefile generator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To install into ``/usr/local``, run:

.. code:: bash

   mkdir build; cd build
   cmake ..
   make
   sudo make install

The install directory can be changed using the
``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` parameter for ``cmake``.

Build options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In addition to the normal CMake build options (like ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX``), fish has some other options available to customize it.

- BUILD_DOCS=ON|OFF - whether to build the documentation. This is automatically set to OFF when Sphinx isn't installed.
- INSTALL_DOCS=ON|OFF - whether to install the docs. This is automatically set to on when BUILD_DOCS is or prebuilt documentation is available (like when building in-tree from a tarball).
- FISH_USE_SYSTEM_PCRE2=ON|OFF - whether to use an installed pcre2. This is normally autodetected.
- MAC_CODESIGN_ID=String|OFF - the codesign ID to use on Mac, or "OFF" to disable codesigning.
- WITH_GETTEXT=ON|OFF - whether to build with gettext support for translations.
- extra_functionsdir, extra_completionsdir and extra_confdir - to compile in an additional directory to be searched for functions, completions and configuration snippets
