Rewrite the `abbr` function to store each abbreviation in a separate
variable. This greatly improves the efficiency. For the common case
it is 5x faster. For pathological cases it is upwards of 100x faster.
Most people should be able to unconditionally define abbreviations in
their config.fish without a noticable slow down.
Fixes#4048
The abbr function doesn't have the possiblity to rename abbreviations.
You have to delete the old one and create a new one. This commit adds
this functionality and uses the syntax:
abbr -r OLD_KEY NEW_KEY
Fixes#2155.
I hate doing this but I am tired of touching a fish script as part of
some change and having `make style` radically change it. Which makes
editing fish scripts more painful than it needs to be. It is time to do
a wholesale reformatting of these scripts to conform to the documented
style as implemented by the `fish_indent` program.
We silently upgrade existing abbreviations and change the separator when
saving.
This does not yet warn when the user is using the old syntax.
Resolves#2051
This fails on e.g. an abbr that uses `env a=b`, like the included test demonstrates.
Unfortunately it decreases the speed again (2s vs 2.2s vs 4s original),
but correctness is more important.
- Replace __fish_abbr_escape with `string escape`
- Don't double-parse the key
- Replace IFS magic with string
Together, this seems to speed it up by a factor of about 2.
1. When run with no arguments, make abbr do the equivalent
of `abbr --show`
2. Enable "implicit add", e.g. `abbr gco git checkout`
3. Teach `abbr --show` to not use quotes for simple cases
4. Teach abbr to output -- when the abbreviation has
leading dashes
Add some basic tests to abbr too.
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.
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.
