As reported in https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/11325, we have logic that
implicitly activates bold mode.
Even worse: the test case from https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/11426 shows that
we're not even consistent about that.
To reproduce, use
set -g fish_pager_color_background --background=fff
set -g fish_pager_color_prefix --underline --bold 000
set -g fish_pager_color_completion
set -g fish_pager_color_description
complete : -s a -l all -d asdf
and type ": -" <TAB>
The second prefix is underlined but not bold,
because the implicit bold mode has a subtle bug.
Now if we were to fix this, using
diff --git a/src/terminal.rs b/src/terminal.rs
index b86a7d85fe..7791d34936 100644

// Lastly, we set bold, underline, italics, dim, and reverse modes correctly.
if style.is_bold()
&& !self.last.style.is_bold()
- && !bg_set
+ && !(bg_set && !last_bg_set)
&& self.write_command(EnterBoldMode)
{
self.last.style.bold = true;
that would make the description bold as well, which would probably cause chaos.
Either way, it seems wrong to expand this hack.
Let's remove it.
For better or worse, we can't safely update the default theme yet on
an existing user's machine, because we have set universal variables.
This means that fish_color_search_match and fish_pager_color_progress on
existing installations are no longer bold. That's probably acceptable.
The former was hard to read for the longest time, until 9af6a64fd2 (Fix
bad contrast in search match highlighting, 2024-04-15). The progress info
is probably not a big deal.
Attentive users may run "fish_config theme choose 'fish default'". Perhaps
we should tell them on upgrade?
Closes#11325
The foreground component of fish_color_search_match was first used in commit
9af6a64fd2 (Fix bad contrast in search match highlighting, 2024-04-15)
which also changed it from bryellow to white. Unfortunately it forgot to
update the themes. Probably all of them want to the default, so let's do that.
Add a new underline-color option to set_color (instead of adding an optional
color argument to --underline); this allows to set the underline color
independently of underline style (line, curly, etc.). I don't think this
flexibility is very important but this approach is probably the least hacky.
Note that there are two variants:
1. \e[58:5:1m
2. \e[58;5;1m
Variant 1 breaks:
breakage from colon-variant for colored underlines
- cool-retro-term makes text blink
- GNU screen (goes into bold mode)
- terminology (goes into bold mode)
Variant 2 would break:
- mintty (Cygwin terminal) -- it enables bold font instead.
- Windows Terminal (where it paints the foreground yellow)
- JetBrains terminals echo the colons instead of consuming them
- putty
- GNU screen (goes into bold mode)
- st
- urxvt
- xterm
- etc.
So choose variant 1.
Closes#11388Closes#7619
set_color --underline=curly outputs \e[4:3m which breaks the following
terminals:
- Terminal.app interprets it as yellow background
- abduco and dvtm interpret it as green foreground
- JetBrains terminals interprets it as yellow background
- urxvt interprets it as yellow background
terminals that interpret curly as single underline:
- tmux [1]
- emacs ansi-term [2]
- emacs vterm
- GNU screen (also wrongly turns on italic mode)
- terminology (also wrongly turns on italic mode)
- Vim's :terminal

Our use of the terminfo database in /usr/share/terminfo/$TERM is both
1. a way for users to configure app behavior in their terminal (by
setting TERM, copying around and modifying terminfo files)
2. a way for terminal emulator developers to advertise support for
backwards-incompatible features that are not otherwise easily observable.
To 1: this is not ideal (it's very easy to break things). There's not many
things that realistically need configuration; let's use shell variables
instead.
To 2: in practice, feature-probing via terminfo is often wrong. There's not
many backwards-incompatible features that need this; for the ones that do
we can still use terminfo capabilities but query the terminal via XTGETTCAP
directly, skipping the file (which may not exist on the same system as
the terminal).
---
Get rid of terminfo. If anyone finds a $TERM where we need different behavior,
we can hardcode that into fish.
* Allow to override this with `fish_features=no-ignore-terminfo fish`
Not sure if we should document this, since it's supposed to be removed soon,
and if someone needs this (which we don't expect), we'd like to know.
* This is supported on a best-effort basis; it doesn't match the previous
behavior exactly. For simplicity of implementation, it will not change
the fact that we now:
* use parm_left_cursor (CSI Ps D) instead of cursor_left (CSI D) if
terminfo claims the former is supported
* no longer support eat_newline_glitch, which seems no longer present
on today's ConEmu and ConHost
* Tested as described in https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/11345#discussion_r2030121580
* add `man fish-terminal-compatibility` to state our assumptions.
This could help terminal emulator developers.
* assume `parm_up_cursor` is supported if the terminal supports XTGETTCAP
* Extract all control sequences to src/terminal_command.rs.
* Remove the "\x1b(B" prefix from EXIT_ATTRIBUTE_MODE. I doubt it's really
needed.
* assume it's generally okay to output 256 colors
Things have improved since commit 3669805627 (Improve compatibility with
0-16 color terminals., 2016-07-21).
Apparently almost every actively developed terminal supports it, including
Terminal.app and GNU screen.
* That is, we default `fish_term256` to true and keep it only as a way to
opt out of the the full 256 palette (e.g. switching to the 16-color
palette).
* `TERM=xterm-16color` has the same opt-out effect.
* `TERM` is generally ignored but add back basic compatiblity by turning
off color for "ansi-m", "linux-m" and "xterm-mono"; these are probably
not set accidentally.
* Since `TERM` is (mostly) ignored, we don't need the magic "xterm" in
tests. Unset it instead.
* Note that our pexpect tests used a dumb terminal because:
1. it makes fish do a full redraw of the commandline everytime, making it
easier to write assertions.
2. it disables all control sequences for colors, etc, which we usually
don't want to test explicitly.
I don't think TERM=dumb has any other use, so it would be better
to print escape sequences unconditionally, and strip them in
the test driver (leaving this for later, since it's a bit more involved).

This parser was pretty nice but it has some issues with the new syntax.
It's not really needed when most bindings use the new syntax.
Let's remove it altogether.
This was broken for 4.0 because it used `{}` command grouping.
Instead just do one of the things the fish_git_prompt does.
(the default isn't usable here because it gets the sha from elsewhere)
(cherry picked from commit e925eccad2)
Fix the accidental "git branch" output leaking while making sure we support:
1. unborn branch, where HEAD does not exist (`git init`)
2. detached head (`git checkout --detach`)
Notably computing the branch name should be independent of computing
a diff against HEAD.
In scenario 1 there is a branch but no HEAD,
while in scenario 2 it's the other way round.
Hence we need a separate check to see if we're in a git repo.
"git rev-parse" seems to work. Not sure what's best pracitce.
Also remove the ahead/behind logic, it was broken because it misspelled
@{upstream}.
Fixes#11179
This makes the default colorscheme less colorful for two reasons:
1. It makes it a little less "angry fruit salad"
2. Some terminals (like Microsoft's Windows Terminal) have a terrible
blue default that contrasts badly against a black background
The alternative is to make *parameters* "normal" and give commands the
current parameter color (cyan). But I've seen cyan be quite blue and
quite green depending on the terminal, so I don't want to rely on it.
This except clause was too narrow, so it would fail here even on other
systems just because webbrowser.get() returned nothing usable
Now it will fail *later* with "could not locate runnable browser", but
at least it won't say anything about chromeos on non-chromeos systems.
Adhere as best as possible to the style guidelines at
https://www.nordtheme.com/docs/colors-and-palettes. Some adaptations were made
so that `functions <function>` is also syntax highlighted per the upstream
recommendations.
Additionally, the theme file has been reordered to follow the order of variables
defined in interactive syntax-highlighting-variables documentation.
Refresh some stale CSS, improve some rendering, and fix some bugs.
Some of the CSS no longer applied. Remove the bright red X in history
and use a tamer color. Fix the prev/next paginator buttons from moving
for large paginations. Fix the calculation about disabling prev/next.
This gives us the biggest chance that these are *visible* in the
terminal, which allows people to choose something nicer.
It changes two colors - the autosuggestion and the pager
description (i.e. the completion descriptions in the pager).
In a bunch of terminals I've tested these are pretty similar - for the
most part brblack for the suggestions is a bit brighter than 555, and
yellow for the descriptions is less blue
than the original.
We could also make the descriptions brblack, but that's for later.
Technically we are a bit naughty in having a few foreground and
background pairs that might not be visible,
but there's nothing we can do if someone makes white invisible on brblack.

This commit introduces a fishconfig_print.css that contains special CSS styles that only apply when printing the fishconfig page. This is especially useful when the user wants to print out the key bindings.
Similar to when we changed the color to the default mode-prompt.
I didn't notice that because my prompt uses $fish_color_error here, so
I reused the same color.
Since the new expanded abbreviations in 3.6.0, abbr no longer accepts
new universal variables. That means this tab is now
non-functional (except that it could technically remove abbrs that
were set in universal variables).
Because making it work with the expanded abbreviations requires some
awkwardness like a dedicated conf.d snippet (or writing into
config.fish!), we simply remove it.
"socket.has_ipv6" is basically useless - it tells you python has
been *compiled* with ipv6 support.
Instead just try ipv6 and if that fails with EAFNOSUPPORT (checking
the actual errno), try v4.
Yes, I explicitly do not care to test this on python2.
Fixes#3857
These are used in prompts only, and it feels weird not to have them.
In practice, fish_color_host_remote would not be used at all (just
because you switched from the default theme!), while fish_color_status
would fall back on a different value.
That'll be adjusted in the next commit.
