Support for space-delimited abbreviations was added to the expansion
parser in fbade198; this commit extends that support to the user-facing
tools, and documents the space-separated behaviour. Equals-delimited
abbreviations are expected to be removed before the next release.
Work on #731.
There is no CTRL-C handler for the default mode in the vi bindings. This makes it difficult to say "never mind" and start a new command line like you can do in bash's vi mode.
There were CTRL-C handlers for insert and visual modes that go back to default mode, but nothing happens in default mode. I copy-pasted the CTRL-C handler from the default key bindings file.
(Ideally, the behaviour of git could be implemented: pipe the input
through a pager iff the length is > window size and in interactive
mode).
Closes#1076.
The terminal width magic that __fish_print_help learned doesn't help
when builtin_print_help runs it in a subshell. Instead, add an
undocumented --tty-width flag to __fish_print_help that's used to pass
the terminal width.
As a result of this rewrite, the output now:
* Expands to fit the terminal width, like `man` does
* Preprocesses the manpage with `tbl` just in case, since `man` does
this, even though I doubt any fish manpages use `tbl` formatting.
* Handle bold/underline with the `ul` command as it was designed for
instead of trying to fake it with `sed`.
* Compresses blank lines as `man` does with the default `less -is`
pager.
The usage is still the same, but it's a lot more robust, and also no
longer assumes $fish_user_abbreviations must be a universal variable.
This also fixes the unexpected error output when calling `abbr -a` with
no existing abbreviations.
Calling `abbr -a` with an abbreviation that already exists now silently
overwrites the abbreviation, just like `function` and `bind` do, instead
of complaining.
# The first commit's message is:
Simplify default fish_prompt
No need for the set_color caching now that it's a builtin.
Also simplify the 3 classic prompts in fish_config's sample_prompts set.
Remove comment that AFAICT is not true anymore.
Ensure someone setting __fish_active_key_bindings as a universal
variable doesn't screw up the initial keybinding load.
Apparently, in zsh, Meta+H can be used to display the manpage for
the current command. This commit adds this zsh feature to fish shell.
The F1 keybinding is left, although it's now secondary according to
fish help, as some terminal emulators don't let the user press F1 key.
Setting a non-existant path component to PATH logs an error to stderr.
This is not appropriate for non-interactive temporary modifications,
like the one done by the `sudo` completion helper function.
The new --wraps functionality was breaking aliases of the form
`alias foo='bar baz'`. That is, aliases where the body is multiple
words. Extract the first word of the body and use that instead.
Use better errors for aliases with no name or no body.
Add the --wraps option to 'complete' and 'function'. This allows a
command to (recursively) inherit the completions of a wrapped command.
Fixes#393.
When evaluating a completion, we inspect the entire "wrap chain" for a
command, i.e. we follow the sequence of wrapping until we either hit a
loop (which we silently ignore) or the end of the chain. We then
evaluate completions as if the wrapping command were substituted with
the wrapped command. Currently this only works for commands, i.e.
'complete --command gco --wraps git\ checkout' won't work (that would
seem to encroaching on abbreviations anyways). It might be useful to
show an error message for that case.
The commandline builtin reflects the commandline with the wrapped
command substituted in, so e.g. git completions (which inspect the
command line) will just work. This sort of command line munging is
also performed by 'complete -C' so it's not totally without precedent.
'alias will also now mark its generated function as wrapping the
'target.
Currently fish doesn't recognize toor as special. However, it's likely
that on BSD systems, fish shell will be used on toor, not on root (toor
is an intentionally existing account to use more advanced shell on, like
shell).
Use `functions -q` instead of searching the `functiosn -na` list for the
provided word. This may result in an automatically-loaded function being
sourced, but that happens anyway with the default output.
This change means the results of `test -q foo` can be relied upon to
indicate whether `foo` can actually be invoked. Previosly, if `foo` was
the name of an automatically-loaded function file but did not actually
define a function `foo`, and there was no execuable `foo`, then `type -q
foo` would lie and say `foo` can be invoked when it can't.
The --quiet flag is useful when only the exit status matters.
Fix the documentation for the -t flag to no longer claim that `type` can
print "keyword", as it never does that.
Stop printing a blank line for functions/builtins when the -p flag has
been passed. It's just not useful.
Track whether -a and -f have been supplied separately. That way both
`type -a -f command` and `type -f -a command` behaves correctly, as does
`type -a -f foo` where there are multiple executables named `foo` in the
$PATH.
Stop using getopt to parse flags. It's far more expensive than
necessary, and results in long flags not being parsed on OS X. This also
allows args starting with - after the options list to be properly
interpreted as a value to test.
Print the error message to stderr as is appropriate.
Use the new `command -p` functionality when the -a flag has not been
provided (`command` does not have any equivalent to the -a flag),
instead of using `which`. This is faster and also avoids any possible
disagreement between `which` and what fish thinks is valid.
Stop testing every path to see if it's executable, that test has already
been done by `which` or `command -p`.
The end result is `type -P ls` is roughly 250% faster, according to
profiling, on my OS X machine.
