A long standing issue is that bindings cannot mix special input functions
and shell commands. For example,
bind x end-of-line "commandline -i x"
silently does nothing. Instead we have to do lift everything to shell commands
bind x "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
for no good reason.
Additionally, there is a weird ordering difference between special input
functions and shell commands. Special input functions are pushed into the
the queue whereas shell commands are executed immediately.
This weird ordering means that the above "bind x" still doesn't work as
expected, because "commandline -i" is processed before "end-of-line".
Finally, this is all implemented via weird hack to allow recursive use of
a mutable reference to the reader state.
Fix all of this by processing shell commands the same as both special input
functions and regular chars. Hopefully this doesn't break anything.

Call fish_should_add_to_history to see if a command should be saved
If it returns 0, it will be saved, if it returns anything else, it
will be ephemeral.
It gets the right-trimmed text as the argument.
If it doesn't exist, we do the historical behavior of checking for a
leading space.
That means you can now turn that off by defining a
`fish_should_add_to_history` that just doesn't check it.

Commit 5f849d0 changed control-C to print an inverted ^C and then a newline.
The original motivation was

This sounds like a valid use case in some scenarios but I think that most
abandoned commands are noise. After all, the user erased them. Also, now that
we have undo that can be used to get back a limited set of canceled commands.
I believe the original motivation for existing behavior (in other shells) was
that TERM=dumb does not support erasing characters. Similarly, other shells
like to leave behind other artifacts, for example when using tab-completion
or in their interactive menus but we generally don't.
Control-C is the obvious way to quickly clear a multi-line commandline.
IPython does the same. For the other behavior we have Alt-# although that's
probably not very well-known.
Restore the old Control-C behavior of simply clearing the command line.
Our unused __fish_cancel_commandline still prints the ^C. For folks who
have explicitly bound ^C to that, it's probably better to keep the existing
behavior, so let's leave this one.
Previous attempt at #4713 fizzled.

This would misname `\e\x7F` as "backspace":
bind -k backspace 'do something'
bind \e\x7F 'do something'
because it would check if there was any key *in there*.
This was probably meant for continuous mode, but it simply doesn't
work right. It's preferable to not give a key when one would work over
giving one when it's not correct.
This used to print all codepoints outside of the ASCII range (i.e.
above 0x80) in \uXXXX or \UYYYYYYYY notation.
That's quite awkward, considering that this is about keys that are
being pressed, and many keyboards have actual symbols for these on
them - I have an "ö" key, so I would like to use `bind ö` and not
`bind \u00F6`. So we go by iswgraph.
On a slightly different note, `\e` was written as `\c[ (or \e)`. I do
not believe anyone really uses `\c[` (the `[` would need to
be escaped!), and it's confusing and unnecessary to even mention that.
This used expect_re with a regex ending in `.*`, followed by an
`expect_prompt`.
This meant that, depending on the timing, the regex could swallow the
prompt marker, which caused extremely confusing output like
>Testing file pexpects/generic.py:Failed to match pattern: prompt 14
> ...
> OUTPUT +1.33 ms (Line 70): \rprompt 13>functions\r\nN_, abbr,
> alias, bg, cd, [SNIP], up-or-search, vared, wait\r\n⏎
> \r⏎ \r\rprompt 14>
Yeah - it shows that "prompt 14" was in the output and it can't find
"prompt 14".
I could reproduce the failure locally when running the tests
repeatedly. I got one after 17 attempts and so far haven't been able
to reproduce it with this change applied.
This translated ctrl-k to "\v", which is a "vertical tab", and ctrl-l
to "\f" and ctrl-g to "\a".
There is no "vertical tab" or "alarm" or "\f" *key*, so these
shouldn't be translated. Just drop these and call them `\ck` and such.
(vertical tab specifically is utterly useless and I would be okay with
dropping it entirely, I have never seen it used anywhere)
Example output from a Cirrus bionic-asan-clang run:

Yes, this detected escape, waiting *300ms* and then "h" as being below
the escape timeout of 120ms.
Historical behavior is to stop option parsing at the first non-option argument.
Since we have added more options, it seemed impractical to keep that behavior.
However people are using options in their abbr expansions ("abbr e emacs
-nw"). To support this, we ignore options. However, we only ignore them
if they are not valid "abbr" options. Let's ignore all options in the
expansion definition, which is a small price to pay to keep most existing
configurations working.
Fixes#9410
This does not fix other cases which used to work, like
abbr x -unknown
Those are hopefully not used by anyone, so I don't think we need to maintain
support for that.
Also default the marker to '%'. So you may write:
abbr -a L --position anywhere --set-cursor "% | less"
or set an explicit marker:
abbr -a L --position anywhere --set-cursor=! "! | less"
This renames abbreviation triggers from `--trigger-on entry` and
`--trigger-on exec` to `--on-space` and `--on-enter`. These names are less
precise, as abbreviations trigger on any character that terminates a word
or any key binding that triggers exec, but they're also more human friendly
and that's a better tradeoff.
set-cursor enables abbreviations to specify the cursor location after
expansion, by passing in a string which is expected to be found in the
expansion. For example you may create an abbreviation like `L!`:
abbr L! --position anywhere --set-cursor ! "! | less"
and the cursor will be positioned where the "!" is after expansion, with
the "| less" appearing to its right.
This adds support for the `--function` option of abbreviations, so that the
expansion of an abbreviation may be generated dynamically via a fish
function.
Prior to this change, abbreviations were stored as fish variables, often
universal. However we intend to add additional features to abbreviations
which would be very awkward to shoe-horn into variables.
Re-implement abbreviations using a builtin, managing them internally.
Existing abbreviations stored in universal variables are still imported,
for compatibility. However new abbreviations will need to be added to a
function. A follow-up commit will add it.
Now that abbr is a built-in, remove the abbr function; but leave the
abbr.fish file so that stale files from past installs do not override
the abbr builtin.
Ensure that multiple `-k` completions intermixed with one or more non-`-k`
completions are produced in the expected order with the order of all completions
in a single `-k` completion respected, non-`-k` completions correctly sorted and
interspersed, and the results of multiple `-k` completions in the
reverse-intuitive order (with chronologically later completions coming before
chronologically earlier `-k` counterparts), as per #9221.
This particular variant must be executed as a pexpect test since it relies on
the interactive-only `$history` to trigger the recursion. Note that recursion is
possible via other means (e.g. reading/writing a file), the usage of history
here is just one such example.
When fish runs with job control enabled, it transfers ownership of the
tty to a child process, and then reclaims the tty after the process
exits. If job control is disabled then fish does not transfer or reclaim
the tty.
It may happen that the child process creates a pgroup and then transfers
the tty to it. In that case fish will not attempt to reclaim the tty, as
fish did not transfer it. Then when fish reads from stdin it will
receive SIGTTIN instead of data.
Fix this by unconditionally claiming the tty in readline().
Fixes#9181
This starts two sleep processes and expects them to be killed on
SIGHUP.
Unfortunately, if this ever fails the second run will also fail
because it'll see the old sleep still lying around (because it'll run
for 130 seconds).
So, what we do is:
1. Keep the pids for these specific sleeps
2. Check if any of them are still running (and only fail for them)
3. Kill them from python
Fixes#9152
Curses variables like `enter_italics_mode` are secretly defined to
dereference through the `cur_term` variable. Be sure we do not read or
write these curses variables if cur_term is NULL. See #8873, #8875.
Add a regression test.
Prior to this change, if you tab-completed a token with a wildcard (glob), we
would invoke ordinary completions. Instead, expand the wildcard, replacing
the wildcard with the result of expansions. If the wildcard fails to expand,
flash the command line to signal an error and do not modify it.
Example:
> touch file(seq 4)
> echo file*<tab>
becomes:
> echo file1 file2 file3 file4
whereas before the tab would have just added a space.
Some things to note:
1. If the expansion would produce more than 256 items, we flash the command
line and do nothing, since it would make the commandline overfull.
2. The wildcard token can be brought back through Undo (ctrl-Z).
3. This only kicks in if the wildcard is in the "path component
containing the cursor." If the wildcard is in a previous component,
we continue using completions as normal.
Fixes#954.
Cancellation groups were meant to reflect the following idea: if you ran a
simple block:
begin
cmd1
cmd2
end
then under job control, cmd1 and cmd2 would get separate groups; however if
either exits due to SIGINT or SIGQUIT we also want to propagate that to the
outer block. So the outermost block and its interior jobs would share a
cancellation group. However this is more complex than necessary; it's
sufficient for the execution context to just store an int internally.
This ought not to affect anything user-visible.
Say the user has a multi-char binding (typically an escape sequence), and a
signal arrives partway through the binding. The signal has an event handler
which enques some readline event, for example, `repaint`. Prior to this
change, the readline event would cause the multi-char binding to fail. This
would cause bits of the escape sequence to be printed to the screen.
Fix this by noticing when a sequence was "interrupted" by a non-char event,
and then rotating a sequence of such interruptions to the front of the
queue.
Fixes#8628
`read` allows specifying the initial command line text. This was
text got accidentally ignored starting in a32248277f. Fix this

* 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
This finds the first broken component, to help people figure out where
they misspelt something.
E.g.
```
echo foo >/usr/lob/systemd/system/machines.target.wants/var-lib-machines.mount
```
will now show:
```
warning: Path '/usr/lob' does not exist
```
which would help with seeing that it should be "/usr/lib".
This allows rebinding escape in the user list without breaking e.g.
arrow keys (which send escape and then `[A` and similar, so escape is
a prefix of them).
Fixes#8428.
On macOS, the tests would often fail because calls to `pkill` would "leak"
across tests: kill processes run by other tests. This is because on macOS,
the -P argument to pkill must come before the process name. On Linux it
doesn't matter.
This improves test reliability on Mac.
Fixes#8232.
Note that this needed to have expect_prompt used in the pexpect test -
we might want to add a "catchup" there so you can just ignore the
prompt counter for a bit and pick it back up later.
This disables job control inside command substitutions. Prior to this
change, a cmdsub might get its own process group. This caused it to fail
to cancel loops properly. For example:
while true ; echo (sleep 5) ; end
could not be control-C cancelled, because the signal would go to sleep,
and so the loop would continue on. The simplest way to fix this is to
match other shells and not use job control in cmdsubs.
Related is #1362
Today the reader exposes its internals directly, e.g. to the commandline
builtin. This is of course not thread safe. For example in concurrent
execution, running `commandline` twice in separate threads would cause a
race and likely a crash.
Fix this by factoring all the commandline state into a new type
'commandline_state_t'. Make it a singleton (there is only one command
line
after all) and protect it with a lock.
No user visible change here.
This apparently doesn't work at all under Github Actions with tsan, so let's skip it.
If anyone feels the need to dig deeper into this, have at it. I find
this distracting.
When the user presses control-C, fish marks a cancellation signal which
prevents fish script from running, allowing it to properly unwind.
Prior to this commit, the signal was cleared in the reader. However this
missed the case where a binding would set $fish_bind_mode which would
trigger event handlers: the event handlers would be skipped because of
the cancellation flag was still set. This is similar to #6937.
Let's clear the flag earlier, as soon as we it's set, in inputter_t.
Fixes#8125.
This is the last time I'm doing this before I rip these particular
tests out.
As far as I know there is no actual *problem* here, this is just
failing through a combination of macOS and Github Actions being slow
as molasses.
So it is wasting our time and therefore worse than not having these
tests at all, especially since they very rarely fail for good reasons.
We would leave some escape delay tests intact with generous timeouts, which would provide 90%
of the coverage with 10% of the hassle.
This simply checks if the parser requested exit after running any
binding scripts (in read_normal_chars).
I think this means we no longer need the `exit` bind function.
Fixes#7967.
Make it an ordinary struct wrapping a vector, instead of a template.
This is in preparation for using it more widely, for matching bindings
as well as mouse CSI sequences.
Also add some mouse-disabling tests.
This runs in 100ms increments, so there's not a lot of harm in trying
longer - it should take the same time everywhere it succeeded before.
But I've reproduced failures on FreeBSD 13 on sr.ht, so there's at
least one platform where a total time of 1 second isn't enough.
Now we do 50 tries, which is 5 seconds.
This could have been one iteration off, e.g.
```fish
function on-winch --on-signal winch
echo $LINES
end
```
Resize the terminal, it'll print e.g.
24
then run `echo $LINES` interactively, it might have a different answer.
This isn't beautiful, but it works. A better solution might be to make
the termsize vars electric and just always update them on read?
When fish starts, it notices which pgroup owns the tty, and then it
restores that pgroup's tty ownership when it exits. However if fish does
not own the tty, then (on Mac at least) the tcsetpgrp call triggers a
SIGSTOP and fish will hang while trying to exit.
The first change is to ignore SIGTTOU instead of defaulting it. This
prevents the hang; however it risks re-introducing #7060.
The second change somewhat mitigates the risk of the first: only do the
restore if the initial pgroup is different than fish's pgroup. This
prevents some useless calls which might potentially steal the tty from
another process (e.g. in #7060).
This concerns the behavior when running an external command from a key
binding. The history is:
Prior to 5f16a299a7, fish would run these external commands in shell
modes. This meant that fish would pick up any tty changes from external
commands (see #2114).
After 5f16a299a7, fish would save and restore its shell modes around
these external commands. This introduced a regression where anything the
user typed while a bound external command was executing would be echoed,
because external command mode has ECHO set in c_lflag. (This can be
reproed easily with `bind -q 'sleep 1'` and then pressing q and typing).
So 5f16a299a7 was reverted in fd9355966.
This commit partially reverts fd9355966. It has it both ways: external
commands are launched with shell modes, but/and shell modes are restored
after the external command completes. This allows commands to muck with
the tty, as long as they can handle getting shell modes; but it does not
enable ECHO mode so it fixes the regression found in #7770.
Fixes#7770. Fixes#2114 (for the third time!)
This partially reverts commit fd9355966e.
Unfortunately this causes input coming in while bind functions are
running to show up on screen.
Since the cure is worse than the disease let's just stop doing it.
My guess is this needs to *only* be done while running an external
command.
Fixes#7770
Reintroduces #2114
Partially reverts 5f16a299a7
For reasons unclear to me, fish enables bold mode unconditionally if
the background is set.
However, this called a background "set" if it wasn't exactly the
"normal" color, whereas set_color --print-colors would set a color
of *none*.
We have three special non-color colors:
- "normal"
- "reset"
- "none"
All of these specify some form of absence of background color, so all
of them should be checked.
Fixes#7805
