File names that have lots of spaces look quite ugly when inserted as
completions because every space will have a backslash.
Add an initial heuristic to decide when to use quotes instead of
backslash escapes.
Quote when
1. it's not an autosuggestion
2. we replace the token or insert a fresh one
3. we will add a space at the end
In future we could relax some of these requirements.
Requirement 2 means we don't quote when appending to an existing token.
Need to find a natural behavior here.
Re 3, if the completion adds no space, users will probably want to add more
characters, which looks a bit weird if the token has a trailing quote.
We could relax this requirement for directory completions, so «ls so»
completes to «ls 'some dir with spaces'/».
Closes#5433
On Konsole, given
bind escape,i 'echo escape i'
bind alt-i 'echo alt-i'
pressing alt-i triggers the wrong binding. This is because we treat "escape
followed by i" as "alt-i". This is to support raw sequences like "\ei"
which are probably meant as "alt-i" -- we match such inputs to both mappings.
This double matching is not necessary for new-style bindings which
unambiguously describe the key presses, so let's activate this sequence
matching only for bindings specified as raw sequences.
Conversely, we currently fail to match an XTerm raw binding for ctrl-enter:
echo 'XTerm.vt100.formatOtherKeys: 0' | xrdb
xterm -e fish
bind \e\[27\;5\;13~ execute
because we decode this to a single char; we match the leading CSI but not
the entire sequence. So this is a raw binding where we accidentally
match full, modified keys. Fix that too (two birds with one stone).
I think commit 8386088b3 (Update commandline state changes eagerly as well,
2024-04-11) broke the alt-s binding.
This is because we update the commandline state snapshot (which is consumed
by builtin commandline and others) only at key points. This seems like a
dubious optimization. With the new streamlined bind execution semantics,
this doesn't really work anymore; any shell command can run any number of
commands like "commandline -i foo" which should synchronize.
Do the simple thing of calculating the snapshot whenever needed.
The search term highlighting looks looks really bad on the default theme
because the command is highlighted as dark blue and the search term adds
a dark background. If this new feature motivates us to finally fix this,
that would be great.
Closes#10430
Some of these handled multiline prompts but not multiline command lines. We
first need to move the cursor to the end of the commandline, then we can
print a message. Finally, we need to move the cursor back to where it was.
The new reader_execute_readline_cmd() runs apply_commandline_state_changes()
to make sure that given
bind x "commandline --insert foo; commandline -f backward-char"
the backward-char command knows about the insertion of "foo". This
causes problems when running "sleep 1&" and typing some characters -
the commandline will be cleared when the job finishes. This is because
apply_commandline_state_changes() works with stale information in this case.
Let's call it as soon as we know it's needed. This is less messy and fits
better with the new bind function semantics ("execute things in the order
they are written").
This makes them more convenient to use interactively, similar to the existing
\c and \a versions. The resulting bind output keeps using the canonical
ctrl/alt version.
Not sure about s- because that's somewhat ambiguous, it could be "super".
See the parent commit for some context. Turns out that 8bf8b10f6 (Extended &
human-friendly keys, 2024-03-30) broke this for terminals that speak CSI u.
This is pretty complex, probably not worth it.
When a terminal sends \x1ba, that could be either escape,a or alt-a.
Historically we've handled this with an escape delay that defaults to 30
milliseconds. If we read nothing for that time, it's escape. Otherwise it's
an alt modifier (or an escape sequence).
As a side effect of 8bf8b10f6 (Extended & human-friendly keys, 2024-03-30) we
added a new way of disambiguating escape: whenever we read the escape byte,
we immediately try another (nonblocking) read. If it succeeds, we treat it
as modifier, else it's escape. Before that commit, we didn't have a concept
of modifiers.
The new way works fine for disambiguating escape,a from alt-a (as pressed
by the user) because only for alt-a the data is sent in the same packet.
So we no longer need the escape delay to disambiguate the alt from the
escape key. Let's simplify things by not using it by default.
The escape delay as set by fish_escape_delay_ms also serves another purpose;
it allows to disambiguate "escape,a" from "escape (pause) a". For that use
case we want to keep it.
As mentioned in 8a7c3ceec (Don't abandon line after writing control sequences,
2024-04-06) we need to freshed stdout timestamps after writing to stdout
but before we might redraw, in particular when writing control sequences.
Commit a583fe723 ("commandline -f foo" to skip queue and execute immediately,
2024-04-08) made "commandline -f repaint" redraw immediately, while still
executing the bound shell command; at that time we have written "disabling"
sequences but not refreshed timestamps yet, so do that.
This is probably not needed for commands outside the repaint family.
Needless to say that this is messy, maybe we can simplify things in future.
Ref https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/10409#issuecomment-2044863817
A failing test might emit an OSC 133 prompt marking sequence, confusing
the parent terminal to think the test output contains a shell prompt. Let's
remove these.
If a key's codepoint is in the PUA1 range, it could
be either from our own named keys (like key::Space)
or from a CSI u key that we haven't assigned a name yet
https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#functional-key-definitions
(The latter can still be bound using the \u1234 or the equivalent \e[4660u
raw CSI u sequence.)
It doesn't make sense to insert a PUA character into the commandline when
the user presses PrintScreen; ignore them silently.
This partially reverts b77d1d0e2 (Stop crashing on invalid Unicode input,
2024-02-27). That commit did:
1. convert input byte sequences that map to a PUA codepoint into several
characters, using our on-char-per-byte PUA encoding.
2. do the same for inputs that are codepoints outside the valid Unicode range.
3. render them as replacement character (one per input byte)
In future, we should probably remove these features altogether, and simply
ignore invalid Unicode code points.
Commit c3cd68dda (Process shell commands from bindings like regular char
events, 2024-03-02) mentions a "weird ordering difference".
The issue is that "commandline -f foo" goes through the input
queue while other commands are executed directly.
For example
bind ctrl-g "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
is executed in the wrong order. Fix that.
This doesn't yet work for "commandline -f exit" but that can be fixed easily.
It's hard to imagine anyone would rely on the existing behavior. "commandline
-f" in bindings is mostly used for repainting the commandline.
If a binding was input starting with "\e", it's usually a raw control sequence.
Today we display the canonical version like:
bind --preset alt-\[,1,\;,5,C foo
even if the input is
bind --preset \e\[1\;5C foo
Make it look like the input again. This looks more familiar and less
surprising (especially since we canonicalize CSI to "alt-[").
Except that we use the \x01 representation instead of \ca because the
"control" part can be confusing. We're inside an escape sequence so it seems
highly unlikely that an ASCII control character actually comes from the user
holding the control key.
The downside is that this hides the canonical version; it might be surprising
that a raw-escape-sequence binding can be erased using the new syntax and
vice versa.
We don't yet support all keys from
https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#functional-key-definitions
Instead of displaying a private-use character, show the character code;
this can be used to map the key even if we don't know a name for it.
bind \uE011 'echo print screen'
bind ctrl-\uE011 'echo do control + print screen'
Note that it's also possible to mape the raw CSI u sequence, like
bind \e\[57361u 'echo print screen'
but we should not encourage that syntax because it does not allow adding
the modifiers like ctrl.
Of course leaking the PUA character code is not ideal.
As implied by the changelog.
Unfortunately it's not obvious how to access the RefCell value in spite
of a potential (albeit unlikely) present mutable borrow. We need to use a
different type to make it work in such cases, hopefully doing that in future.
In future we could even use panic=abort and use this style of cleanup for
panics (instead of RAII).
For numpad 1 with nulock, Alacritty sends
escape,[,5,7,4,0,0,u
which is codepoint \x31, key "1". We have a terminfo mapping for "sright"
which translates to
escape,[,1,;,2,C
The first two characters, escape and [ match. Then we accidentally match the
"1" from the mapping against the entire sequence, because that sequence is
canonicalized to codepoint "1" . The most blatant problem is that we discard
the rest of the sequence. Fix that.
This allows us to re-enable raw CSI u mappings like "bind \e[1u ..."
which is what kitty uses for shell integration.
This allows terminals like foot and kitty to
* scroll to the previous/next prompt with ctrl-shift-{z,x}
* pipe the last command's output to a pager with ctrl-shift-g
Kitty has existing fish shell integration
shell-integration/fish/vendor_conf.d/kitty-shell-integration.fish which we
can simplify now. They keep a state variable to decide which of prompt start,
command start or command end to output. I think with our implementation
this is no longer necessary, at least I couldn't reproduce any difference.
We also don't need to hook into fish_cancel or fish_posterror like they do;
only in the one place where we actually draw the prompt.
As mentioned in the above shell integration script, kitty disables reflow
when it sees an OSC 133 marker, so we need to do it ourselves,
otherwise the prompt will go blank after a terminal resize.
Closes#10352
If I type
$ echo $SOME_VARIABLE_WIHT_A_TYPO
$ set -S SOME_VARIABLE_WIHT
and press tab, I'm always extremely surprised that this completes to
$ set -S fish_history
which is because $history[1] contains the typo'd variable name. I don't
think anyone intends to filter by that last 3-4 history items, so let's
remove this pitfall.
Note that I usually hit this scenario with undefined variables, not necessarily
typos.. "set -S" is usually redundant but it's still quite nice in this case,
to rule out any weird empty strings/empty lists.
