Add the input function undo which is bound to `\c_` (control + / on
some terminals). Redoing the most recent chain of undos is supported,
redo is bound to `\e/` for now.
Closes#1367.
This approach should not have the issues discussed in #5897.
Every single modification to the commandline can be undone individually,
except for adjacent single-character inserts, which are coalesced,
so they can be reverted with a single undo. Coalescing is not done for
space characters, so each word can be undone separately.
When moving between history search entries, only the current history
search entry is reachable via the undo history. This allows to go back
to the original search string with a single undo, or by pressing the
escape key.
Similarly, when moving between pager entries, only the most recent
selection in the pager can be undone.
This is part of our (well, my) quest to spice up the default prompt.
In this case we color the host if $SSH_TTY is set, which is easy to
detect and helps draw attention to the host.

Turns out we never documented the "jump" ones.
That means the still-undocumented bind functions are
- vi-arg-digit
- vi-delete-to
- and
Mostly because I'd have to look up what they actually *do*, and
possibly rename them to be generic.

* Add the `--succinct` flag to `type`
* Use `echo` rather than `printf`
* Change `succinct` to `short`; print path if known
* Clean up the printing logic ever so slightly
First tell them how to install (though we don't actually do that right
now), then tell them how to start it, and only *then* tell them how to
make it the default or uninstall it.
Just seems sensible to try it first then delete it.
Some more sections here were duplicated or not all that useful, and
it's weird to start with "Commands versus Functions".
Let's explain to people how to start fish, then let's get going.
This was a bit stuffy and verbose, so try to make it a tad more human.
Also don't mention `fish_opt` constantly. It's not actually all that
useful as argparse isn't as difficult to use as we thought.

This splits a string into variables according to the shell's
tokenization rules, considering quoting, escaping etc.
This runs an automatic `unescape` on the string so it's presented like
it would be passed to the command. E.g.
printf '%s\n' a\ b
returns the tokens
printf
%s\n
a b
It might be useful to add another mode "--tokenize-raw" that doesn't
do that, but this seems to be the more useful of the two.
Fixes#3823.
This adds initial support for statements with prefixed variable assignments.
Statments like this are supported:
a=1 b=$a echo $b # outputs 1
Just like in other shells, the left-hand side of each assignment must
be a valid variable identifier (no quoting/escaping). Array indexing
(PATH[1]=/bin ls $PATH) is *not* yet supported, but can be added fairly
easily.
The right hand side may be any valid string token, like a command
substitution, or a brace expansion.
Since `a=* foo` is equivalent to `begin set -lx a *; foo; end`,
the assignment, like `set`, uses nullglob behavior, e.g. below command
can safely be used to check if a directory is empty.
x=/nothing/{,.}* test (count $x) -eq 0
Generic file completion is done after the equal sign, so for example
pressing tab after something like `HOME=/` completes files in the
root directory
Subcommand completion works, so something like
`GIT_DIR=repo.git and command git ` correctly calls git completions
(but the git completion does not use the variable as of now).
The variable assignment is highlighted like an argument.
Closes#6048
This adds string-x.rst for each subcommand x of string. The main page
(string.rst) is not changed, except that examples are shown directly after
each subcommand. The subcommand sections in string.rst are created by
textual inclusion of parts of the string-x.rst files.
Subcommand man pages can be viewed with either of:
```
man string collect
man string-collect
string collect <press F1 or Alt-h>
string collect -h
```
While `string -h ...` still prints the full help.
Closes#5968
This removes the explicit html coloring that was used in the tutorial.
Where necessary we just add pseudo-html like `<red>...</red>` to
explain it to the users.
I don't know how to reintroduce coloring here, but it's not super
important as the user can always just check for themselves.
See #5696

This adds support for `fish_trace`, a new variable intended to serve the
same purpose as `set -x` as in bash. Setting this variable to anything
non-empty causes execution to be traced. In the future we may give more
specific meaning to the value of the variable.
The user's prompt is not traced unless you run it explicitly. Events are
also not traced because it is noisy; however autoloading is.
Fixes#3427
This just makes more sense, as people don't want to enter exact
matches if they delete interactively.
It also brings it in line with "search".
Fixes#6142
Rejects #6070
