alt-{left,right} move in the directory history (like in browsers).
Arrow keys can be inconvenient to reach on some keyboards, so
let's alias this to alt-{b,f}, which already have similar behavior.
(historically the behavior was the same; we're considering changing
that back on some platforms).
This happens to fix alt-{left,right} in Terminal.app (where we had
a workaround for some cases), Ghostty, though that alone should not
be the reason for this change.
Cherry-picked from commit f4503af037.
Closes#11105
Comments by macOS users have shown that, apparently, on that platform
this isn't wanted.
The functions are there for people to use,
but we need more time to figure out if and how we're going to bind
these by default.
For example, we could change these bindings depending on the OS in future.
This reverts most of commit 6af96a81a8.
Fixes#10926
See #11107
There is no natural default binding for token movements. Add the
alt-{left,right,backspace,delete}, breaking some existing behavior.
For example, backward-delete-word is no longer bound to alt-backspace but
only to ctrl-backspace. Unfortunately some terminals (particularly tmux)
don't support distinguishing ctrl-backspace from ctrl-h yet, so the loss
of alt-backspace may be tragic.
---
I guess we could also add:
bind alt-B backward-token
bind alt-F forward-token
bind ctrl-W backward-kill-token
bind alt-D kill-token
Those might be intercepted by the terminal on Linux, but I don't know where
that happens.
Tested on foot, kitty, alacritty, xterm, tmux, konsole and gnome-terminal.
Closes#10766
This seems a bit better because it's what bind uses. To makes sure that
something like :kbd:`ctrl-x` looks good in HTML, remove the border from the
kbd style. Else both "ctrl" and "x" get small boxes which looks weird.
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
Fish functions are great for configuring fish but they don't integrate
seamlessly with the rest of the system. For tasks that can run outside fish,
writing scripts is the natural approach.
To edit my scripts I frequently run
$EDITOR (which my-script)
Would be great to reduce the amount typing for this common case (the names
of editor and scripts are usually short, so that's a lot of typing spent on
the boring part).
Our Alt+o binding opens the file at the cursor in a pager. When the cursor
is in command position, it doesn't do anything (unless the command is actually
a valid file path). Let's make it open the resolved file path in an editor.
In future, we should teach this binding to delegate to "funced" upon seeing
a function instead of a script. I didn't do it yet because funced prints
messages, so it will mess with the commandline rendering if used from
a binding. (The fact that funced encourages overwriting functions that
ship with fish is worrysome. Also I'm not sure why funced doesn't open the
function's source file directly (if not sourced from stdin). Persisting the
function should probably be the default.)
Alternative approach: I think other shells expand "=my-script" to
"/path/to/my-script". That is certainly an option -- if we do that we'd want
to teach fish to complete command names after "=". Since I don't remember
scenarios where I care about the full path of a script beyond opening it in
my editor, I didn't look further into this.
Closes#10266
This prevents leaking the escape sequence by printing nonsense, and it
also allows disabling cursor setting by just setting the variable to
e.g. empty.
And if we ever added any shapes, it would allow them to be used on new
fish and ignored on old
Fixes#9698
This allows linking them from elsewhere (currently fish_indent) and
also improves the formatting - the code formatting here isn't actually a good look.
This makes it so we link to the very top of the document instead of a
special anchor we manually include.
So clicking e.g. :doc:`string <cmds/string>` will link you to
cmds/string.html instead of cmds/string.html#cmd-string.
I would love to have a way to say "this document from the root of the
document path", but that doesn't appear to work, I tried
`/cmds/string`.
So we'll just have to use cmds/string in normal documents and plain
`string` from other commands.
