alt-d used to do that until evil merge[*] 213e90704 (Merge remote-tracking branch
'upstream/master' into bind_mode, 2014-01-15) which changed the order of
the \ed bindings such that the smart dirh version would be shadowed by the
simpler ones.
[*] git blame alone failed to find it because it skips merge commits.
Another consequence of a583fe723 ("commandline -f foo" to skip queue
and execute immediately, 2024-04-08) is that "commandline -f repaint"
will paint the prompt with the current value of $status which might be
set from a shell command in a the currently executing binding, instead of
waiting for the top-level status. This is wrong, at least historically. It
surfaces in bindings like alt-w which always paint a status value of [1]
when on single-lines commandlines.
Another regression is that a redundant repaint in a signal handler outputs
an extra prompt.
Fix both by making repaint commands go over the input queue again. This way,
they are always run with a good commandline state. There is no need to
repaint immediately because I don't think anyone has a data dependency on it
(we currently don't expose the prompt string), it's only for rendering.
We sometimes leak ^[[I and ^[[O focus reporting events when run from VSCode's
"Run python file" button in the top right corner. To reproduce I installed
the ms-python extension set the VSCode default shell to fish and repeatedly
ran a script that does "time.sleep(1)". I believe VSCode synthesizes keys
and triggers a race condition.
We can probably fix this but I'm not sure when I'll get to it (given how
relatively unimportant this feature is).
So let's go back to the old behavior of only enabling focus reporting in tmux.
I believe that tmux is affected by the same VSCode issue (also on 3.7.1 I
think) but I haven't been able to get tmux to emit focus reporting sequences
yet. Still, keep it to not regress cursor shape (#4788). So far this is
the only motivation for focus reporting and I believe it is only relevant
for terminals that can split windows (though there are a bunch that do).

There seem to be versions of ssh (possibly not from OpenSSH) that don't
print the version number in -V, so make sure not to pass an empty string as
numeric arg to test.
Fixes#10445
While it does need to store the string, we also need to use the string after
storing it, so we aren't getting any advantage from passing by value. Just pass
by reference to simplify the call sites.
This is another problem that has been bothering me for years: as mentioned
in 1dd901e52 (Maintain cursor in history prefix search, 2024-04-12), up-arrow
search highlights search matches but the contrast is really bad, especially in
command position, because the search matches --background=brblack is combined
with whatever foreground syntax highlighting the command has. The history
pager had a similar problem (for the selected history item) but circumented
it by disabling syntax highlighting altogether for the selected item.
fish_color_search_match's foreground component is ignored.
Let's use it instead of syntax highlighting.
This fixes the contrast on some default colorschemes but the bryellow
foreground looks weirdly like an error/warning on some terminals. Change it
to white. This needs a hack because we don't have a canonical way to tell
if a uvar has been set by the user. Fortunately the foreground component
hasn't been used at all so far, so we're not so much changing it as much as
initializing it.
On Konsole with
function my-bindings
bind --preset --erase escape
bind escape,i 'echo escape i'
end
set fish_key_bindings my-bindings
the "escape,i" binding doesn't trigger. This is because of our special
handling of the escape key prefix. Other multi-key bindings like "bind j,k"
wait indefinitely for the second character. But not "escape,i"; that one
has historically had a low timeout (fish_escape_delay_ms). The motivation
is probably that we have a "escape" binding as well that shouldn't wait
indefinitely.
We can distinguish between the case of raw escape sequence binding like "\e123"
and a binding that talks about the actual escape key like "escape,i". For the
latter we don't need the special treatment of having a low timeout, so make it
fall back to "fish_sequence_key_delay_ms" which waits indefinitely by default.
Indented multiline commandlines look ugly in an external editor. Also,
fish doesn't properly handle the case when the editor runs fish_indent.
Fix is by indenting when exporting the commandline and un-indenting when
importing the commandline again.
Unindent only if the file is properly indented (meaning at least by the
amount fish would use). Another complication is that we need to offset
cursor positions by the indentation.
This approach exposes "fish_indent --only-indent" and "--only-unindent"
though I don't imagine they are useful for others so I'm not sure if this
is the right place and whether we should even document it.
One alternative is to add "commandline --indented" to handle indentation
transparently.
So "commandline --indented" would print a indented lines,
and "commandline --indented 'if true' ' echo'" would remove the unecessary
indentation before replacing the commandline.
That would probably simplify the logic for the cursor position offset.
When we read bytes like \xfc that don't produce a Unicode code point,
we encode them in a Unicode private use area.
This encoding should be transparent to the user.
We accidentally add it to uvar files as \uf6fc in this case. When reading
it back, read_unquoted_escape() will fail at the "fish_reserved_codepoint(c)"
check. This check is to avoid external input being misinterpreted
as one of our in-band signalling characters like ANY_CHAR (for *).
For encoded raw bytes, this check probably doesn't really matter in terms of
security because the only thing we do with these bytes is convert them back
to raw. So we could allow unescaping them at this point, thus supporting
old uvar files.
However that seems like the wrong direction. PUA encoding should never leak.
So let's instead make sure to serialize it as \xfc instead of \f6fc going
forward.

Popular operating systems support shift-delete to delete the selected item
in an autocompletion widgets. We already support this in the history pager.
Let's do the same for up-arrow history search.

On
a;
we don't expand the abbreviation because the cursor is right of semicolon,
not on the command token. Fix this by making sure that we call expand-abbr
with the cursor on the semicolon which is the end of the command token.
(Now that our bind command execution order is less surprising, this is doable.)
This means that we need to fix the cursor after successfully expanding
an abbreviation. Do this by setting the position explicitly even when no
--set-position is in effect.
An earlier version of this patch used
bind space self-insert backward-char expand-abbr or forward-char
The problem with that (as a failing test shows) was that given "abbr m
myabbr", after typing "m space ctrl-z", the cursor would be after the "m",
not after the space. The second space removes the space, not changing the
cursor position, which is weird. I initially tried to fix this by adding
a hack to the undo group logic, to always restore the cursor position from
when begin-undo-group was used.
bind space self-insert begin-undo-group backward-char expand-abbr end-undo-group or forward-char
However this made test_torn_escapes.py fail for mysterious reasons.
I believe this is because that test registers and triggers a SIGUSR1 handler;
since the signal handler will rearrange char events, that probably messes
with the undo group guards.
I resorted to adding a tailor-made readline cmd. We could probably remove
it and give the new behavior to expand-abbr, not sure.
Fixes#9730
File names that have lots of spaces look quite ugly when inserted as
completions because every space will have a backslash.
Add an initial heuristic to decide when to use quotes instead of
backslash escapes.
Quote when
1. it's not an autosuggestion
2. we replace the token or insert a fresh one
3. we will add a space at the end
In future we could relax some of these requirements.
Requirement 2 means we don't quote when appending to an existing token.
Need to find a natural behavior here.
Re 3, if the completion adds no space, users will probably want to add more
characters, which looks a bit weird if the token has a trailing quote.
We could relax this requirement for directory completions, so «ls so»
completes to «ls 'some dir with spaces'/».
Closes#5433
On Konsole, given
bind escape,i 'echo escape i'
bind alt-i 'echo alt-i'
pressing alt-i triggers the wrong binding. This is because we treat "escape
followed by i" as "alt-i". This is to support raw sequences like "\ei"
which are probably meant as "alt-i" -- we match such inputs to both mappings.
This double matching is not necessary for new-style bindings which
unambiguously describe the key presses, so let's activate this sequence
matching only for bindings specified as raw sequences.
Conversely, we currently fail to match an XTerm raw binding for ctrl-enter:
echo 'XTerm.vt100.formatOtherKeys: 0' | xrdb
xterm -e fish
bind \e\[27\;5\;13~ execute
because we decode this to a single char; we match the leading CSI but not
the entire sequence. So this is a raw binding where we accidentally
match full, modified keys. Fix that too (two birds with one stone).
I think commit 8386088b3 (Update commandline state changes eagerly as well,
2024-04-11) broke the alt-s binding.
This is because we update the commandline state snapshot (which is consumed
by builtin commandline and others) only at key points. This seems like a
dubious optimization. With the new streamlined bind execution semantics,
this doesn't really work anymore; any shell command can run any number of
commands like "commandline -i foo" which should synchronize.
Do the simple thing of calculating the snapshot whenever needed.
The search term highlighting looks looks really bad on the default theme
because the command is highlighted as dark blue and the search term adds
a dark background. If this new feature motivates us to finally fix this,
that would be great.
Closes#10430
