Given a command line like
foo --foo=bar=baz=qux\=argument
(the behavior is the same if '=' is substituted with ':').
fish completes arguments starting from the last unescaped separator, i.e.
foo --foo=bar=baz=qux\=argument
^
__fish_complete_list provides completions like
printf %s\n (commandline -t)(printf %s\n choice1 choice2 ...)
This means that completions include the "--foo=bar=baz=" prefix.
This is wrong. This wasn't a problem until commit f9febba (Fix replacing
completions with a -foo prefix, 2024-12-14), because prior to that, replacing
completions would replace the entire token.
This made it too hard to writ ecompletions like
complete -c foo -s s -l long -xa "hello-world goodbye-friend"
that would work with "foo --long fri" as well as "foo --long=frie".
Replacing the entire token would only work if the completion included that
prefix, but the above command is supposed to just work.
So f9febba made us replace only the part after the separator.
Unfortunately that caused the earlier problem. Work around this. The change
is not pretty, but it's a compromise until we have a better way of telling
which character fish considers to be the separator.
Fixes#11508
"function --argument" is not a thing, it's "--argument-names". This only
accidentally works because our getopt is awful and allows abbreviated
long options.
Similarly, one argparse test used "--d" instead of "-d" or "--def".
for various completions.
This makes the code a bit nicer, removes one of the
__fish_print_hostnames calls (which are slow) and a sed call, thereby
improving performance by about 33% (600ms to 400ms).
Fixes#4511.
This commit addresses many of the style problems with the previous
commit. If this introduces any bugs they are solely my fault. The style
of this code needs more improvement. Some of which could be done today.
Others will have to wait until `fish_indent` is improved.
Add IPV6 /etc/hosts completion support. Parses columns rather than values which produces improved output.
Support ssh -F and Include completion
Ignore ssh Hostname and Host with wildcard. The following only get in the way:
- Hostname: Host resolves to Hostname
- Wildcard Host: Cannot ssh to a glob pattern
Improve scp completions
* complete only local files when no host provided
* complete only remote files when host is provided
* complete local files or hosts when no separator
Disable username completion for ssh/scp
Username completion only provides local users which will unlikely be
useful on a remote machine. ssh will use the current username (the only
useful one) or one provided in the ssh config.
I believe apm must have been buggy - example output that I found online
showed `tr` was mangling paths with spaces in it. Should be fixed.
Also, use dscl on OS X in __fish_complete_users.fish like
__fish_print_users.fish already does.
