This introduces two functions to
- toggle a process prefix, used for adding "sudo"
- add a job suffix, used for adding "&| less"
Not sure if they are very useful; we'll see.
Closes#7905
This set "clear: both", which resulted in code blocks sometimes being
pushed down a lot, resulting in weird empty space.
Just undo it, I have no idea why it's there, presumably it makes sense
with sphinx' stock theme?
This spoke of "--bold" and "-b", which are two different things - "-b"
is short for "--background", bold is "-o".
Instead let's just mention the long versions of all the switches.
See #8053.
A bunch of our variables are only relevant for interactive use, but
this is two whole sections on them. Simply move them inside "Syntax
highlighting" and leave the link in Special Variables.
* Try to set LC_CTYPE to something UTF-8 capable
When fish is started with LC_CTYPE=C (even just effectively, often via
LC_ALL=C!), it's basically broken. There's no way to handle non-ASCII
characters with a C locale unless we want to write our
locale-independent replacements for all of the system functions.
Since we're not going to do that, let's try to find *some locale* for
LC_CTYPE.
We already do that in __fish_setlocale, but that's
- a bit of a weird thing that reads unstandardized system
configuration files
- allows setting locale to C explicitly
So it's still easily possible to end up in a broken configuration.
Now, the issue with this is that there is (AFAICT) no portable way to
get a list of all allowed locales and C.UTF-8 is not standardized, so
we have no one locale to fall back on and are forced to try a few. The
list we have here is quite arbitrary, but it's a start.
Python does something similar and only tries C.UTF-8, C.utf8 and
"UTF-8".
Once C.UTF-8 is (hopefully) standardized, that will just start
working (tm).
Note that we do not *export* the fixed LC_CTYPE variable, so external
programs still have to deal with the C locale, but we have no real
business messing with the user's environment.
To turn it off: $fish_allow_singlebyte_locale, if set to something true (like "1"),
will re-run the locale initialization and skip the bit where we force
LC_CTYPE to be utf8-capable.
This is mainly used in our tests, but might also be useful if people
are trying to do something weird.
Chrome says that's better, presumably because it can then tell how
large the image is before it's loaded. Not that this tiny image really
is a massive problem, but let's be good, not acceptable.
This led to pydoctheme.css being included *twice*, which led to
everything it included being included twice, which was annoying in
firefox when playing with the styles.
I don't *think* it had any performance impact?
The file is called "config.fish", not "init.fish". We'll call it
"configuration" now.
"Initialization" might be slightly more precise, but in an irritating
way.
Also some wording improvements to the section. In particular we now
mention config.fish *early*, before the whole shebang.
Otherwise there's this weird *gap*, where the sections are narrow even
tho there's plenty of space?
So you have this screen layout:
```table
| sidebar | text |
| sidebar | narr |
| sidebar | ower |
| sidebar | than |
| sidebar | need |
| sidebar | ed |
```
For some gosh-forsaken reason.
Prior to this change, a function with an on-job-exit event handler must be
added with the pgid of the job. But sometimes the pgid of the job is fish
itself (if job control is disabled) and the previous commit made last_pid
an actual pid from the job, instead of its pgroup.
Switch on-job-exit to accept any pid from the job (except fish itself).
This allows it to be used directly with $last_pid, except that it now
works if job control is off. This is implemented by "resolving" the pid to
the internal job id at the point the event handler is added.
Also switch to passing the last pid of the job, rather than its pgroup.
This aligns better with $last_pid.
This is an attempt to make these more visible - the intro section
explains what this is, and then we mention where to go, and after that
we go into installation and stuff.
I don't think putting "where to go" *after* the installation
instruction is correct, but maybe it is? For the time being, we keep
the order as it is.
fish_private_mode is active if set to something non-empty, but the docs
suggested checking if it is set at all. Switch the docs to match the
implementation through `test -n "$fish_private_mode"`
Fixes#8001
Apparently new sphinxen want to create an *additional* section
directory, so things end up in /usr/share/fish/man/man1/1, instead of /usr/share/fish/man/man1
Why? No idea.
I can't reproduce it but I'm told this section fixes it.
Fixes#7996
It's a bit weird to *have* to fire up a browser to get fish_config to
choose a prompt.
So this adds a `prompt` subcommand to `fish_config`:
- `fish_config prompt list` shows all the available prompt names
- `fish_config prompt show` demos the available sample prompts
- `fish_config prompt choose` sources a prompt
- `fish_config prompt save` makes the choice permanent
A bare `fish_config` or `fish_config browse` opens the web UI.
Part of #3625.
TODO: This shows the right prompt on a new line. Showing it in-line is awkward
to do because we'd have to move it to the right.
This prints a description of the "host". Currently that's
`(chroot:debianchroot) $USER@$hostname`
with the chroot part when needed.
This also switches the default and terlar prompts to use it, the other
prompts have slightly different coloring or logic here.
When building the docs with an old sphinx (like e.g. on Debian), this
would break links in the search results.
This happens because we've nabbed the searchtools.js from a sphinx to
add our special handling of short builtins like "and", "end", "cd" (as
part of #7757).
I don't believe this will change *a lot* in practice, so it's probably
still okay, but this hack is still worthwhile.
See #7946
Otherwise this would look ugly by stopping the gradient after the
content, so in e.g. the `end` or `false` page it would leave an ugly stripe at
the bottom.
* math: Make function parentheses optional
It's a bit annoying to use parentheses here because that requires
quoting or escaping.
This allows the parens to be omitted, so
math sin pi
is the same as
math 'sin(pi)'
Function calls have the lowest precedence, so
math sin 2 + 6
is the same as
math 'sin(2 + 6)'
* Add more tests
* Add a note to the docs

It's not super clear what $SHLVL is useful for, but the current
definition is essentially
"number of shells in the parent processes + 1"
which isn't *super useful*?
Bash's behavior here is a bit weird in that it increments $SHLVL
basically always, but since it auto-execs the last process it will
decrement it again, so in practice it's often not incremented.
E.g.
```
> echo $SHLVL
1
> bash -c 'echo $SHLVL; bash'
2
>> echo $SHLVL
2
```
Both bashes here end up having the same $SHLVL because this is
equivalent to `echo $SHLVL; exec bash`. Running `echo $SHLVL` and then
`bash -c 'echo $SHLVL'` in an interactive bash will have a different
result (1 and 2) because that doesn't *exec* the inner bash.
That's not something we want to get into, so what we do is increment
$SHLVL in every interactive fish. Non-interactive fish will simply
import the existing value.
That means if you had e.g. a bash that runs a fish script that ends up
opening a new fish session, you would have a $SHLVL of *2* - one for the
bash, and one for the inner fish.
We key this off is_interactive_session() (which can also be enabled
via `fish -i`) because it's easy and because `fish -i` is asking for
fish to be, in some form, "interactive".
That means most of the time $SHLVL will be "how many shells am I deep,
how often do I have to `exit`", except for when you specifically asked
for a fish to be "interactive". If that's a problem, we can rethink it.
Fixes#7864.
This breaks apart the massive "index" document into
1. An "index" document that explains how to install and set up fish
and links to the other documents
2. A "fish-language" document that describes the syntax and semantics
of the language
3. A "fish-interactive" document that describes how to use fish
interactively
No change to the content has been made, only the parts have been moved
from index and some of the formatting (links and header levels) were
fixed.
See #7348.
Unlike links, these are checked by sphinx and it complains if they
don't match.
Also they have a better chance of doing something useful in outputs
other than html.
The "classic" theme is a mostly useless wrapper around the basic theme
that just adds a collapsible sidebar (that we no longer have).
Moving to basic directly drops a layer of indirection and a file that
needs to be transferred over the net.
Same thing goes for "default.css" which literally just includes
classic.css (WHYYYY???)
(also this removes some useless javascript)
Unfortunately this has both stopwords and a length limit, and things
like "and" just are tough to search.
So what we do is leave everything as it is, but when a search fails,
we show a list of things that are hard to search for, currently that's
"and", "for", "if" and such.
Fixes#7757.
The user may write for example:
echo foo >&5
and fish would try to output to file descriptor 5, within the fish process
itself. This has unpredictable effects and isn't useful. Make this an
error.
Note that the reverse is "allowed" but ignored:
echo foo 5>&1
this conceptually dup2s stdout to fd 5, but since no builtin writes to fd
5 we ignore it.
After commit 6dd6a57c60, 3 remaining
builtins were affected by uint8_t overflow: `exit`, `return`, and
`functions --query`.
This commit:
- Moves the overflow check from `builtin_set_query` to `builtin_run`.
- Removes a conflicting int -> uint8_t conversion in `builtin_return`.
- Adds tests for the 3 remaining affected builtins.
- Simplifies the wording for the documentation for `set --query`.
- Does not change documentation for `functions --query`, because it does
not state the exit code in its API.
- Updates the CHANGELOG to reflect the change to all builtins.
builtin_set_query returns the number of missing variables. Because the
return value passed to the shell is an 8-bit unsigned integer, if the
number of missing variables is a multiple of 256, it would overflow to 0.
This commit saturates the return value at 255 if there are more than 255
missing variables.
This introduces a new variable $fish_color_keyword that will be used
to highlight keywords. If it's not defined, we fall back on
$fish_color_command as before.
An issue here is that most of our keywords have this weird duality of
also being builtins *if* executed without an argument or with
`--help`.
This means that e.g.
if
is highlighted as a command until you start typing
if t
and then it turns keyword.
