Use the remaining_to_disclose count to determine if all completions
are shown (allows consistent behavior between short and long completion
lists).
Closes#8485
Currently,
set -q --unpath PATH
simply ignores the "--unpath" bit (and same for "--path").
This changes it, so just like exportedness you can check pathness.
Unless we use "complete --require-parameter", we must say "-w32",
not "-w 32", because the second "32" is a positional argument.
Notably, old options do not have this behavior, which is a bit weird,

Taken from a discussion in #8459
* fish_key_reader: Simplify default output
It now only prints the bind statement. Timing information and such is
relegated to a separate "verbose" mode.
* Adjust fish_key_reader docs
* Adjust tests
Unlike in other shells, for-loops do not set $status if
1. the loop count is zero, or if
2. the loop body consists of only commands like "set" that don't
set $status.
POSIX for-loops always set an exit status (they set 0 if no loop
iterations). Following that would be awkward because it would add a
lot of complexity in combination with the 2 special cases above.
Document that "for" behaves the same as "set": it will pass through
existing $status, and also the last child's $status.
See the discussion in #8409
Unfortunately, currently :program: doesn't link to the program's page.
So we use the old-school :ref: again where we should link, i.e. for
everything that's not the program the current page is about.
Fixes#8438
Documents like fish-tutorial don't need the NAME portion below.
(they also shoudln't be in section 1! These should be section 7,
they aren't for programs.)
the manpage writer will skip NAME if given an empty sstring as
the description.

NAME
fish-tutorial - fish-shell tutorial
This fixes the indentation problem for the SYNOPSIS section by not
inserting the :: literal block. Format it the same way Sphinx does
their own manpages for commands.
Use more semantic markup, like :command:, so that commands are
highlighted in the man pages.
Split by sentence to give `man` a chance to ascertain lines.
Long-term, it should be possible to teach Sphinx to turn :command:s
into references and get us automatic links to articles for matching
cmds/*.
* commandline: Add --is-valid option to query whether it's syntactically complete
This means querying when the commandline is in a state that it could
be executed. Because our `execute` bind function also inserts a
newline if it isn't.
One case that's not handled right now: `execute` also expands
abbreviations, those can technically make the commandline invalid
again.
Unfortunately we have no real way to *check* without doing the
replacement.
Also since abbreviations are only available in command position when
you _execute_ them the commandline will most likely be valid.
This is enough to make transient prompts work:
```fish
function reset-transient --on-event fish_postexec
set -g TRANSIENT 0
end
function maybe_execute
if commandline --is-valid
set -g TRANSIENT 1
commandline -f repaint
else
set -g TRANSIENT 0
end
commandline -f execute
end
bind \r maybe_execute
```
and then in `fish_prompt` react to $TRANSIENT being set to 1.
* Add `set --function`
This makes the function's scope available, even inside of blocks. Outside of blocks it's the toplevel local scope.
This removes the need to declare variables locally before use, and will probably end up being the main way variables get set.
E.g.:
```fish
set -l thing
if condition
set thing one
else
set thing two
end
```
could be written as
```fish
if condition
set -f thing one
else
set -f thing two
end
```
Note: Many scripts shipped with fish use workarounds like `and`/`or`
instead of `if`, so it isn't easy to find good examples.
Also, if there isn't an else-branch in that above, just with
```fish
if condition
set -f thing one
end
```
that means something different from setting it before! Now, if
`condition` isn't true, it would use a global (or universal) variable of
te same name!
Some more interesting parts:
Because it *is* a local scope, setting a variable `-f` and
`-l` in the toplevel of a function ends up the same:
```fish
function foo2
set -l foo bar
set -f foo baz # modifies the *same* variable!
end
```
but setting it locally inside a block creates a new local variable
that shadows the function-scoped variable:
```fish
function foo3
set -f foo bar
begin
set -l foo banana
# $foo is banana
end
# $foo is bar again
end
```
This is how local variables already work. "Local" is actually "block-scoped".
Also `set --show` will only show the closest local scope, so it won't
show a shadowed function-level variable. Again, this is how local
variables already work, and could be done as a separate change.
As a fun tidbit, functions with --no-scope-shadowing can now use this to set variables in the calling function. That's probably okay given that it's already an escape hatch (but to be clear: if it turns out to problematic I reserve the right to remove it).
Fixes#565
