Code blocks are often written like
$ echo hello world
hello world
The "$ " is widely understood to introduce a shell command. It's often
easier to copy the whole line than copying everything after "$ ".
This gets more pronounced when there are multiple commands without interleaved
output (either due to omission or the rule of silence). Copying the whole
code block is the most natural first step.
You could argue that this is a presentation issue - the dollar prefix
should be rendered but not copied to clipboard. But in my experience there
are many cases where there is no HTML or Javascript that would allow the
copy-to-clipboard functionality to strip the prefixes.
The "$ " prefix is almost never useful when pasting; strip it automatically.
Privileged commands use "# " as prefix which overlaps with comments, so do
not strip that until we can disambiguate (another potential reason not to
do that would be safety but it's unclear if that really matters).
Add the new logic to the commandline builtin, because we don't know about the
AST in fish script. (Technically, the tokenizer already knows whether a "$
" is in command position and at the beginning of a line, but we don't
have that either (yet).)
Maybe we should move the rest of __fish_paste over as well. I'm not sure what
difference that would make; for one, pasting could no longer be cancelled
by ctrl-c (in theory), which seems like a good direction?
We ignore typed control characters 33a7172ee (Revert to not inserting control
characters from keyboard input, 2024-03-02).
We used to do the same for bracketed paste but that changed in 8bf8b10f6
(Extended & human-friendly keys, 2024-03-30) which made bracketed paste
behave like fish_clipboard_paste; it inserts the exact input (minus leading
whitespace etc). At that time it wasn't clear to me which behavior was the
right one (because of the inconsistency between terminal and bracketed paste).
As reported in
https://matrix.to/#/!YLTeaulxSDauOOxBoR:matrix.org/$PEEOAoyJY-644amIio0CWmq1TkpEDdSy2QnfJdK-dco
trailing tabs in pasted text can be confusing.
There seems to be not real need to insert raw control characters into the
command line, so let's strip them when pasting.
Now the only way to insert a raw control character into the command line is
to recall it from command history. Not sure what the behavior should be for
that case, we can revisit that later. If we get rid of raw control characters
entirely, then we can also delete the new "control pictures" rendering :)
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.
Closes#10359
