Support for space-delimited abbreviations was added to the expansion parser in fbade198; this commit extends that support to the user-facing tools, and documents the space-separated behaviour. Equals-delimited abbreviations are expected to be removed before the next release. Work on #731.

\subsection abbr-description Description
|
|
|
|
`abbr` manipulates the list of abbreviations that fish will expand.
|
|
|
|
Abbreviations are user-defined character sequences or words that are replaced with longer phrases after they are entered. For example, a frequently-run command such as `git checkout` can be abbreviated to `gco`. After entering `gco` and pressing @key{Space} or @key{Enter}, the full text `git checkout` will appear in the command line.
|
|
|
|
Abbreviations are stored, by default, in a universal variable.
|
|
|
|
The following parameters are available:
|
|
|
|
- `-a WORD PHRASE` or `--add WORD PHRASE` Adds a new abbreviation, where WORD will be expanded to PHRASE.
|
|
|
|
- `-s` or `--show` Show all abbreviated words and their expanded phrases in a manner suitable for export and import.
|
|
|
|
- `-l` or `--list` Lists all abbreviated words.
|
|
|
|
- `-r WORD` or `--remove WORD` Remove the abbreviation WORD.
