When declaring a function using the function "function", the options must follow, not precede, the function name.
The examples demonstrate this syntax, but the synopsis previously showed the options preceding the name.

The command provided is
echo 'function fish_title;end' > ~/.config/fish/config.fish
Using `>` will overwrite current config.fish.
We should use `>>` instead.
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.
--inherit-variable takes a variable name and snapshots its current
value. When the function is executed, it will have a local variable with
this value already defined. Printing the function source will include
synthesized `set -l` lines for the values.
This is primarily useful for functions that are created on the fly, such
as in `psub`.
Making `true` into a builtin is a significant optimization to `while
true` loops. As long as `true` is a builtin, we may as well make `false`
builtin as well (despite the fact that it's not typically executed in a
loop).
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.

As this is rendering ok in Firefox, this version should pickup the best
fonts for most browser/os variants based on 'font-stretch' support.
`.fish_left_bar` should be condensed, the main body font shouldn't.
Binds with the same sequence in multiple modes was not working right.
Fix up the implementation to propagate modes everywhere as necessary.
This means that `bind` will properly list distinct binds with the same
sequence, and `bind -e` will take mode into account properly as well.
Note that `bind -e seq` now assumes the bind is in the default bind
mode, whereas before it would erase the first binding with that sequence
regardless of mode.
`bind -e -a` still erases all binds in all modes, though `bind -M mode
-e -a` still only erases all binds in the selected mode.
<em> used to represent something else, but as far as I can tell, all
uses of <em> in the documentation today actually represent text that's
supposed to be visibly different. Notably, the documentation on
supported escapes uses <em> to indicate the letters that are a
placeholder for e.g. a hex digit, as opposed to being a literal
character.
The `--null` flag to `read` makes it split incoming lines on NUL instead
of newlines. This is intended for processing the output of a command
that uses NUL separators (such as `find -print0`).
Fixes#1694.
This font, at least under Kubuntu 14.04 and Firefox I use is rather
ugly. Anti-aliasing is wrong, and the spaces between letters are
rather random. It makes reading the documentation headings and table
of contents harder than it needs to be.
Those issues don't happen with DejaVu Sans.
This includes:
- Fixing some typos and misspellings
- Being consistent with pronouns (she/he)
- Hyphenating "built-in" and "command-line" where appropriate
Widened 'Commands' menu + fish logo
fish logo added to FAQ menu
'Commands' menu content aligned with Docs menu
'FAQ' menu content aligned and made 1st order as all entires are long
and wrap.
Major documentation cleanup and update.
- Fixes Issue #1557
- Moves entire documentation to Markdown format. Much simpler.
- Fully supports Doxygen 1.8.7+
- All documentation targets updated: user_doc, share/man, doc and
doc/refman.pdf.
- Tested across Ubuntu, CentOS and Mac OS.
See doc_src/FORMATTING.md for in depth rationale and style guide.
Doxygen 1.8.6 and lower do not have the \\htmlonly[block] directive
which fixes a multitude of problems in the rendering of the docs. In
Doxygen 1.8.7 the list of understood HTML entities was greatly
increased. I tested earlier versions and many little issues returned.
Completely fixes#1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused
it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and
generally prettier.
todo:
- trap unmarked text as arguments in context
- test & fix sed portability - see in particular. (so far tested on BSD
(Mac) and GNU sed).
- test Makefile changes
- last round of aesthetic changes and getting that ascii fish in there…
Addresses issue #1557 as well as fixing many typos, HTML errors and
inconsistencies. Also introduces automatic syntax colouring and enables
new documentation to be written in Markdown. TODO fix Tutorial.
