If I run "sleep 3", type a command and hit enter, then there is no
obvious way to cancel or edit the imminent command other than ctrl-c
but that also cancels sleep, and doesn't allow editing. (ctrl-z sort
of works, but also doesn't allow editing).
Let's try to limit ourselves to inserting the buffered command
(translating enter to a newline), and only execute once the user
actually presses enter after the previous command is done.
Hide it behind a new feature flag for now.
By making things less scary, this might be more user-friendly, at
the risk of breaking expectations in some cases.
This also fixes a class of security issues where a command like
`cat malicious-file.txt` might output escape sequences, causing
the terminal to echo back a malicious command; such files can still
insert into the command line but at least not execute it directly.
(Since it's only fixed partially I'm not really sure if the security
issue is a good enough motivation for this particular change.)
Note that bracketed paste probably has similar motivation as this feature.

On ctrl-l we send `\e[2J` (Erase in Display). Some terminals interpret
this to scroll the screen content instead of clearing it. This happens
on VTE-based terminals like gnome-terminal for example.
The traditional behavior of ctrl-l erasing the screen (but not the
rest of the scrollback) is weird because:
1. `ctrl-l` is the easiest and most portable way to push the prompt
to the top (and repaint after glitches I guess). But it's also a
destructive action, truncating scrollback. I use it for scrolling
and am frequently surprised when my scroll back is missing
information.
2. the amount of lines erased depends on the window size.
It would be more intuitive to erase by prompts, or erase the text
in the terminal selection.
Let's use scrolling behavior on all terminals.
The new command could also be named "push-to-scrollback", for
consistency with others. But if we anticipate a want to add other
scrollback-related commands, "scrollback-push" is better.
This causes tests/checks/tmux-history-search.fish to fail; that test
seems pretty broken; M-d (alt-d) is supposed to delete the current
search match but there is a rogue "echo" that is supposed to invalidate
the search match. I'm not sure how that ever worked.
Also, pexepect doesn't seem to support cursor position reporting,
so work around that.

Before, it unnecessarily stated that there are three `--style` options, when
there are actually four.
I also align the default `--style=script` argument to the beginning of the line
to match the other options visually for easier scanning.
Instead of hardcoded 230px margin.
This also makes the ToC only take up a third of the screen when
narrow, and lets you scroll the rest.
Without, you'd have to scroll past the *entire* ToC, which is awkward
Remaining issue is the search box up top. Since this disables the one
in the sidebar once the window gets too narrow, that one is important,
and it isn't *great*
* Pass path to install()
It was dirty that it would re-get $HOME there anyway.
* Import wcs2osstring
* Allow installable builds to use a relocatable tree
If you give a path to `--install`, it will install fish into a
relocatable tree there, so
PATH/share/fish contains the datafiles
PATH/bin/fish contains the fish executable
PATH/etc/fish is sysconf
I am absolutely not sold on that last one - the way I always used
sysconfdir is that it is always /etc. This would be easy to fix but
should probably also be fixed for "regular" relocatable builds (no
idea who uses them).
An attempt at #10916
* Move install path into "install/" subdir
* Disable --install harder if not installable
This is fairly subtle.
When installable, and we either can't find the version file or it is
outdated, we ask the user to confirm installation (just like `--install`).
We do that only if we are really truly interactive (with a tty!) to
avoid `fish -c` running into problems.
This check could be tightened even more, because currently:
```fish
fish -ic 'echo foo'
```
asks, while
```fish
fish -ic 'echo foo' < /dev/null
```
does not.
`fish -c` will still error out if it can't find the config, but it
will just run if it is out of date.
These are another way to spell the same thing that doesn't match what
`bind` would print.
They're also not documented and tested thoroughly.
Since they are just small shortcuts and unreleased we can just remove
them.
Fixes#10845
alt-e restores the cursor position received from the editor, moving by
one character at a time. This can be super slow on large commandlines,
even on release builds. Let's fix that by setting the coordinates
directly.
There is no natural default binding for token movements. Add the
alt-{left,right,backspace,delete}, breaking some existing behavior.
For example, backward-delete-word is no longer bound to alt-backspace but
only to ctrl-backspace. Unfortunately some terminals (particularly tmux)
don't support distinguishing ctrl-backspace from ctrl-h yet, so the loss
of alt-backspace may be tragic.
---
I guess we could also add:
bind alt-B backward-token
bind alt-F forward-token
bind ctrl-W backward-kill-token
bind alt-D kill-token
Those might be intercepted by the terminal on Linux, but I don't know where
that happens.
Tested on foot, kitty, alacritty, xterm, tmux, konsole and gnome-terminal.
Closes#10766
Commit c921c124e (docs: use canonical key names in :kbd: tags, 2024-04-13)
removed the box highlighting from elements like :kbd:`ctrl-c`.
This is because Sphinx for some reason converts this into
<kbd>
<kbd>ctrl</kbd>
-
<kbd>c</kbd>
</kbd>
which results in duplicate boxes.
(See https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/7530)
Our current style looks a bit ugly (it's
definitely worse than github's rendering at
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst).
Let's restore the old style but make sure to only apply it only to the
outermost kbd element.
While at it, use the same monospace font as for inline code.
Part of #1842
It's like jump-to-matching-bracket, but jumps right before the bracket
I will use it to mimic vi 'ab' and 'ib' text objects in the next commit
Given complicated semantics of jump-till-matching-bracket, an alternative name
could be 'jump-inside-matching-brackets'. But that would make names non-symmetrical.
I'm not sure what is worse.
Add round options, but I think can also add floor, ceiling, etc. And
the default mode is trunc.
Closes#9117
