instead add a bit of information on how fish's configuration works for
the admin to etc/config.fish.
This means that fish is fully functional without /etc, which might be nice for "stateless" systems.
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
Turns out some shells will alias which to be something function-aware,
but doing this on fish would blow up because it would call type which
would then call which which would then call type....
Fixes#2775
Much better to only encode the characters that are not URL-safe. This
also doesn't involve any forking, and it even handles newlines and NULs
in the input.
This allows "vendors" (i.e. third-party upstreams interested in
supporting fish) to add auto-loaded functions and eager-loaded
configuration "snippets", while still allowing both the user and the administrator to
fully override all of that.
This has been inspired by systemd's configuration hierarchy, and implements a similar scheme
whereby files with the same name in higher-ranking directories override files in lower-ranking ones.
Fixes#1956
* When using a UTF-8 locale, set locale to C temporarily in order to
read one byte at a time.
* Use the builtin printf in a forward-compatible way. (GNU)
* Improve the readability of the code.
Fixes the invocation of a user-specified browser by the `help` command on Cygwin.
- Use `cygstart` to launch the browser with escaped quotes to avoid problems with spaces in the path to the browser, (e.g. Program Files).
- Use `cygpath` to convert the base help dir to a Windows path before constructing the fie URL to pass to the browser.
This changes the default escape timeout for the default keybindings (emacs
mode) to 300ms and the default for vi keybindings to 10ms.
I couldn't resist fixing a few nits in the fish_vi_key_bindings.fish file
since I was touching it to set the escape timeout.
It used to be that way and we recommend `set fish_greeting` (i.e. set to
empty) in the docs - possibly since we check if the variable is defined
on upgrade.
This is meant to make it clear that fish cannot control the terminal
window background color. It also augments the set_color documentation to
describe how it decides which color the terminal can display.
