We silently upgrade existing abbreviations and change the separator when saving. This does not yet warn when the user is using the old syntax. Resolves #2051

\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 using universal variables. You can create abbreviations directly on the command line, and they will be saved automatically. Calling `abbr -a` in config.fish will lead to slightly worse startup performance.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- `-e WORD` or `--erase WORD` Erase the abbreviation WORD.
|
|
|
|
Note: fish version 2.1 supported `-a WORD=PHRASE`. This syntax is now deprecated but will still be converted.
