The case for symlinked directories being duplicated a lot isn't there,
but there *is* a usecase for adding the symlink rather than the
target, and that's homebrew.
E.g. homebrew installs ruby into /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/bin,
and links to it from /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin. If we add the target, we
would miss updates.
Having path entries that point to the same location isn't a big
problem - it's a path lookup, so it takes a teensy bit longer. The
canonicalization is mainly so paths don't end up duplicated via weird
spelling and so relative paths can be used.
Taken from GNU realpath, this one makes realpath not resolve symlinks.
It still makes paths absolute and handles duplicate and trailing
slashes.
(useful in fish_add_path)
Currently, completions have to be specified like
```fish
complete -c foo -l opt
```
while
```fish
complete foo -l opt
```
just complains about there being too many arguments.
That's kinda useless, so we just assume if there is one left-over
argument that it's meant to be the command.
Theoretically we could also use *all* the arguments as commands to
complete, but that seems unlikely to be what the user wants.
(I don't think multi-command completions really happen)
Currently only `complete` will list completions, and it will list all
of them.
That's a bit ridiculous, especially since `complete -c foo` just does nothing.
So just make `complete -c foo` list all the completions for `foo`.
Previously, when a command wasn't found, fish would emit the
"fish_command_not_found" *event*.
This was annoying as it was hard to override (the code ended up
checking for a function called `__fish_command_not_found_handler`
anyway!), the setup was ugly,
and it's useless - there is no use case for multiple command-not-found handlers.
Instead, let's just call a function `fish_command_not_found` if it
exists, or print the default message otherwise.
The event is completely removed, but because a missing event is not an error
(MEISNAE in C++-speak) this isn't an issue.
Note that, for backwards-compatibility, we still keep the default
handler function around even tho the new one is hard-coded in C++.
Also, if we detect a previous handler, the new handler just calls it.
This way, the backwards-compatible way to install a custom handler is:
```fish
function __fish_command_not_found_handler --on-event fish_command_not_found
# do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight
end
```
and the new hotness is
```fish
function fish_command_not_found
# do the thing
end
```
Fixes#7293.
For the few weird code blocks where default highlighting does not work,
we must add the 'highlight' class manually to get matching backgrounds.
This reuses the background color defined in pygments.css.
Now command, jobs, type, abbr, builtin, functions and set take `-q` to
query for existence, but the long option is inconsistent.
The first three use `--quiet`, the latter use `--query`. Add `--query`
to the first three, but keep `--quiet` around.
Fixes#7276.
This needs to have the vi-bindings take precedence, so they need to be
executed *last*.
It just needs to tell them that they shouldn't erase all the bindings.

Instead of informing the bell character (hex 07), the example was using
an escaped \ followed by x07.
$ echo \\x07
\x07
$ echo \x07
$ echo \x07 | od -a
0000000 bel nl
0000002
$
* docs: Use \u instead of \\u
Instead of informing the Unicode character 慡, this example was using an
escaped \ followed by u6161.
$ echo \\u6161
\u6161
$ echo \u6161
慡
Before:
$ string escape --style=var 'a1 b2'\\u6161 | string unescape --style=var
a1 b2\u6161
Now:
$ string escape --style=var 'a1 b2'\u6161 | string unescape --style=var
a1 b2慡
Just as `math "bitand(5,3)"` and `math "bitor(6,2)"`.
These cast to long long before doing their thing,
so they truncate to an integer, producing weird results with floats.
That's to be expected because float representation is *very*
different, and performing bitwise operations on floats feels quite useless.
Fixes#7281.
Was: "parameter expansion takes before expressions are evaluated."
Now: "parameter expansion happens before expressions are evaluated."
I suspect the original intent was to use "takes place," but I see "happens" as less idiomatic and therefore may benefit non-English-native users.
Also return the number of failed files.
I decided to *just* print the filenames (newline-separated because
NULLs are annoying here) to make it easier to deal with.
See #7251.
This can be used to determine whether the previous command produced a real status, or just carried over the status from the command before it. Backgrounded commands and variable assignments will not increment status_generation, all other commands will.
There are a few code blocks where the default highlighting does not
work and the documentation looks bad as a result. Usually this happens
when we are demonstrating an important interactive feature, such as
autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, or tab completion.
The pygments highlighter was not designed for code samples like these.
But it is important to show the behavior clearly in the docs. I am
attempting to make these weird examples look as much like the "normal"
code blocks as possible.

One of the nicest things about fish is how introspectable it is. We
should probably get people to just mess around and see what is
implemented how. This is a step in that direction.
