Introduce a new strategy for notifying other fish processes of universal
variable changes, as a planned replacement for the complex
strategy_named_pipe. The new strategy still uses a named pipe, but instead
of select() on it, it arranges for SIGIO to be delivered when data is
available. If a SIGIO has been seen since the last check, it means the file
needs to be re-read.
When expanding a string, you may or may not want to generate
descriptions alongside the expanded string. Usually you don't want to
but descriptions were opt out. This commit makes them opt in.
If the padding is not divisible by the char's width without remainder,
we pad the remainder with spaces, so the total width of the output is correct.
Also add completions, changelog entry, adjust documentation, add examples
with emoji and some tests. Apply some minor style nitpicks and avoid extra
allocations of the input strings.
Technically the equivalence would be something like
string length -q $str
test -n (string join \n -- $str | string collect)
To handle when str has multiple empty strings;
but quoting is easier to remember and enough for most practical purposes.
fish wants to build with -mmacosx-version-min=10.9. This is important
because it ensures that we do not use functions or linker features which
which are not available on 10.9. However this collides with the fact
that fish also prefers to use a pcre2 package installed on the system,
which is typically built for that system.
Mac ld will (rightly) complain when it sees a 10.9-targeted binary
linking a 10.15-targeted dylib. This is an annoying warning that gets
emitted on every build.
We could fix this either having Mac builds prefer the vendored PCRE2
by default, or by having debug builds target the system version. But
we want to continue to default to system PCRE2 and we don't want to risk
losing compatibility with older Mac versions. So we will just suppress
all linker warnings in Mac debug builds.
Improves on #7328.
I believe this is the correct behavior, simply skip all whitespace before
a word. Try with
./fish -C 'bind \ef forward-bigword; bind \eb backward-bigword; bind \ed kill-bigword; bind \cw backward-kill-bigword'
Also unrelated formatting fixes. I don't think a CI failure on unformatted
code is warranted but I wish it could do that behind the scenes.
For example "grep --color"<TAB> can complete to "grep --color=". Don't add
a space in this case; we do the same for arguments that end in =.
In GNU-style getopt, equal sign means that the flag has an argument. Without
the = it would not consume the next argument as opposed to Python's argparse.
This was a weird special behavior where we'd put the commandline on a
new line if it wrapped *and* the prompt was > 33% of the screen.
It seems to be more confusing than anything.
Fixes#5118.
Prior to this change, tab completing with a variable assignment like
`VAR=val cmd<tab>` would parse out and apply VAR=val, then recursively
invoke completions. This caused some awkwardness around the wrap chain -
if a wrapped command had a variable completion we risked infinite
recursion. A secondary problem is that we would run any command
substitutions inside variable assignment, which the user does not expect
to run until pressing enter.
With this change, we explicitly track variable assignments encountered
during tab completion, including both those explicitly given on the
command line and those found during wrap chain walk. We then apply them
while suppressing command substitutions.
In preparation for applying variable assignments (VAR=VAL cmd), separate
them out from the command when performing completions. This includes both
those that the user typed, and any that come about through
completion --wraps.
When completing and walking a wrap chain, we pass around a lot of
information. Factor this together into a new struct custom_arg_data_t
which reduces the number of parameters needed.
The "wrap chain" refers to a sequence of commands which wrap other
commands, for completion purposes. One possibility is that a wrap chain
will produce a combinatorial explosion or even an infinite loop, so there
needs to be logic to prevent that. Part of that logic is encapsulated in a
visited set (wrap_chain_visited_set_t) to prevent exploring the same item
twice.
Prior to this change, we stored pairs (command, wrapped_command). But we
only really need to store the wrapped command. Switch to that.
One consequence is that if a command wraps another command in more than
one way, we won't explore both ways. This seems unlikely in practice.
Detect recursive calls to builtin complete and the internal completion in
the same place.
In 0a0149cc2 (Prevent infinite recursion when completion wraps variable assignment)
we don't print an error when completing certain aliases like:
alias vim "A=B vim"
But we also gave no completions.
We could make this case work, but I think that trying to salvage situations
like this one is way too complex. Instead, let the user know by printing an
error. Not sure if the style of the error fits.
We could add some heuristic to alias to not add --wraps in some cyclic cases.
The lambda has grown way too big, and it was not easy to see what the inputs
and outputs are. We always use the same visitor, so the function parameter
is not necessary.
This reads any additional positional arguments given to `fish -c` into
$argv.
We don't handle the first argument specially (as `$0`) as that's confusing and
doesn't seem very useful.
Fixes#2314.
This allows
bind -k backspace suppress-autosuggestion or backward-delete-char
To remove the suggestion on the first press and then delete
chars.
Note: This requires that we then don't reenable suggestions
immediately afterwards. Currently we don't after deletion.
Fixes#1419.
