These commands are meant to be used in Vi mode when the cursor is on
a valid character, so there's not much reason to try to make them do
something when the cursor is past-end. Do nothing, like we already
do for the empty commandline.
Reported in #12430
Commit 38e633d49b (fish_vi_key_bindings: add support for count,
2025-12-16) introduced an operator mode which kind of makes a lot of
sense for today's fish. If we end up needing more flexibility and
tighter integration, we might want to move some of this into core.
Unfortunately the change is at odds with our cursed forward-jump
implementation. The forward-jump special input function works by
magically reading the next key from stdin, which causes problems when
we are executing a script:
commandline -f begin-selection
commandline -f forward-jump
commandline -f end-selection
here end-selection will be executed immediately
and forward-jump fails to wait for a keystroke.
We should get rid of forward-jump implementation.
For now, replace only the broken thing with a dedicated bind mode
for each of f/F/t/T.
Fixes#12417
- The behavior of `{,d}{w,W}`, `{,d}{,g}{e,E}` bindings in vi-mode is
now more compatible with vim, except that the underscore is not a
keyword (which can be achieved by setting `set iskeyword-=_` in vim).
- Add commands `{forward,kill}-{word,bigword}-vi`,
`{forward,backward,kill,backward-kill}-{word,bigword}-end` and
`kill-{a,inner}-{word,bigword}` corresponding to above-mentioned
bindings.
- Closes#10393.

This part of the code could use some love; when we happen to clear the
selected text, we should end the selection.
But that's not how it works today. This is fine for Vi mode, because Vi
mode never deletes in visual mode.
Let's fix the crash for now.
Fixes#11367
With
bind ctrl-r 'sleep 1' history-pager
typing ctrl-r,escape crashes fish in the history pager completion callback,
because the history pager has already been closed.
Prior to 55fd43d86c (Port reader, 2023-12-22), the completion callback
would not crash open a pager -- which causes weird races with the
user input.
Apparently this crash as been triggered by running "playwright",
and -- while that's running typing ctrl-r ligh escape.
Those key strokes were received while the kitty keyboard protocol
was active, possibly a race.
Fixes#11355
I don't think there's a relevant terminal where the "bind -k" notation is
still needed. The remaining reason to keep it is backwards compatibility.
But "bind -k" is already subtly broken on terminals that implement either
of modifyOtherKeys, application keypad mode or the kitty keyboard protocol,
since those alter the byte sequences (see #11278).
Having it randomly not work might do more harm than good. Remove it.
This is meant go into 4.1, which means that users who switch back and forth
between 4.1 and 4.0 can already use the new notation.
If someone wants to use the bind config for a wider range of versions they
could use "bind -k 2>/dev/null" etc.
While at it, use the new key names in "bind --key-names", and sort it like
we do in "bind --function-names".
Closes#11342
This feature is nice and desirable, but it was implemented in a intrusive way
by modifying the sequence of bytes we emit when running a command; this in
turn requires changing a bunch of tests.
This sequence hasn't changed in decades and the consequences of changing it
are hard to predict, given that it is likely terminal dependent; we've
already found a regression.
It's fine to reintroduce this but it should be done in a less intrusive way
(conceptually that seems straightforward - we're just remembering the cursor
position).
Revert "Fix spurious blank lines when executing scrolled commandline"
This reverts commit 0e512f8033.
Revert "On undo after execute, restore the cursor position "
This reverts commit 610338cc70.
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.

Closes#10934
cursor_selection_mode=inclusive means the commandline position is
bounded by the last character. Fix a loop that fails to account
for this.
Fixes d51f669647 (Vi mode: avoid placing cursor beyond last character,
2024-02-14).
This change looks very odd because if the commandline is like
echo foo.
it makes us try to uppercase the trailing period even though that's
not part of word range. Hopefully this is harmless.
Note that there seem to be more issues remaining, for example Vi-mode
paste leaves the cursor in an out-of-bounds odd position.

PR #10953 reports missing coverage for the change to update_buff_pos()
in d51f669647 (Vi mode: avoid placing cursor beyond last character,
2024-02-14).
Add a case demonstrating how $ should not move the cursor past the
last character. Goes without saying that it's really ugly that we
update_buff_pos() must be so defensive here, ideally we wouldn't pass
it out-of-bounds positions.
Ever since 149594f974 (Initial revision, 2005-09-20), we move the
cursor to the end of the commandline just before executing it.
This is so we can move the cursor to the line below the command line,
so moving the cursor is relevant if one presses enter on say, the
first line of a multi-line commandline.
As mentioned in #10838 and others, it can be useful to restore the
cursor position when recalling commandline from history. Make undo
restore the position where enter was pressed, instead of implicitly
moving the cursor to the end. This allows to quickly correct small
mistakes in large commandlines that failed recently.
This requires a new way of moving the cursor below the command line.
Test changes include unrelated cleanup of history.py.
The special input functions self-insert, self-insert-not-first, and
and or used to be handled by inputter_t::readch, but they aren't
anymore with `commandline -f`.
I am unsure if these *would* have worked, I can't come up with a use.
So, for now, do nothing instead of panicking.
This would crash if you ran `commandline -f backward-jump`.
The C++ version would read a char (but badly), this doesn't anymore.
So, at least instead of crashing, just do nothing.
Commit c3cd68dda (Process shell commands from bindings like regular char
events, 2024-03-02) mentions a "weird ordering difference".
The issue is that "commandline -f foo" goes through the input
queue while other commands are executed directly.
For example
bind ctrl-g "commandline -f end-of-line; commandline -i x"
is executed in the wrong order. Fix that.
This doesn't yet work for "commandline -f exit" but that can be fixed easily.
It's hard to imagine anyone would rely on the existing behavior. "commandline
-f" in bindings is mostly used for repainting the commandline.
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.

Yes, this detected escape, waiting *300ms* and then "h" as being below
the escape timeout of 120ms.
This allows rebinding escape in the user list without breaking e.g.
arrow keys (which send escape and then `[A` and similar, so escape is
a prefix of them).
Fixes#8428.
This is the last time I'm doing this before I rip these particular
tests out.
As far as I know there is no actual *problem* here, this is just
failing through a combination of macOS and Github Actions being slow
as molasses.
So it is wasting our time and therefore worse than not having these
tests at all, especially since they very rarely fail for good reasons.
We would leave some escape delay tests intact with generous timeouts, which would provide 90%
of the coverage with 10% of the hassle.
This simply checks if the parser requested exit after running any
binding scripts (in read_normal_chars).
I think this means we no longer need the `exit` bind function.
Fixes#7967.
This increases a 100ms timeout to 200ms, because we've hit it on
Github Actions:
```
INPUT 3904.65 ms (Line 223): set -g fish_escape_delay_ms 100\n
OUTPUT +1.74 ms (Line 224): \rprompt 25>
INPUT +0.71 ms (Line 230): echo abc def
INPUT +0.57 ms (Line 231): \x1b
INPUT +0.57 ms (Line 232): t\r
OUTPUT +2.41 ms (Line 234): \r\ndef abc\r\n
OUTPUT +1.63 ms (Line 234): \rprompt 26>
INPUT +0.75 ms (Line 239): echo ghi jkl
INPUT +0.57 ms (Line 240): \x1b
INPUT +134.98 ms (Line 242): t\r
```
In other places it decreases sleeps where we just wait for a timeout to elapse, in which case we don't need much longer than the timeout.
With the upcoming fix to place the tty in external-proc mode, add a sleep
which resolves a race between emitting a newline and restoring it to shell
mode.
The classic mistake: Some of these have a bit of a delay, but it's supposed to
be *under* the timeout, so it needs to be *shorter* not longer to
increase the slack.
