(As suggested in 84e7fbd466 (Make default .theme file consistent with uvars,
2022-02-03))
Historical behavior in default fish is that
1. fish_color_keyword and fish_color_option are unset, meaning they
default to their fallbacks, fish_color_command and fish_color_param.
2. colors not mentioned in the default them, such as
fish_pager_color_secondary_background, are unset
"fish_config theme save fish\ default"
- sets group 1 to a non-empty value (deactivating the fallbacks)
- sets group 2 to an empty value (which has no function change except it
changes completions for builtin set)
Both are probably fine. I guess the historical behavior is a bit nicer.
But the new behavior is simpler. We can definitely optimize it later,
for example by never redundantly setting universal color variables to an
empty value.
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).

When a command like "long-running-command &" exits, the resulting SIGCHLD
is queued in the topic monitor. We do not process this signal immediately
but only after e.g. the next command has finished. Only then do we reap the
child process.
Some terminals, such as Terminal.app, refuse to close when there are unreaped
processes associated with the terminal -- as in, having the same session ID,
see setsid(3).
In future, we might want to reap proactively.
For now, apply an isolated workaround: instead of taking care of a child
process, double-fork to create an orphaned process. Since the orphan will
be reaped by PID 1, we can eventually close Terminal.app without it asking
for confirmation.
/bin/sh -c '( "$@" ) >/dev/null 2>&1 &' -- cmd arg1 arg2
This fix confines the problem to the period during which a background process
is running. To complete the fix, we would need to call setsid to detach the
background process from a controlling terminal. That seems to be desirable
however macOS does provide a setsid utility.
setsid cmd arg1 arg2 >/dev/null 2>&1
Fixes#11181
Konsole has a bug: it does not recognize file:://$hostname/path as directory.
When we send that via OSC 7, that breaks Konsole's "Open Folder With"
context menu entry.
OSC 7 producers are strongly encouraged to set a non-empty hostname, but
it's not clear if consumers are supposed to accept an empty hostname (see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/issues/20).
I think it should be fine; implementations should treat it as local path.
Let's work around the Konsole bug by omitting the hostname for now. This
may not be fully correct when using a remote desktop tool to access a
system running Konsole but I guess that's unlikely and understandable.
We're using KONSOLE_VERSION, so it the workaround should not leak into SSH
sessions where a hostname component is important.
Closes#11198
Proposed upstream fix https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1820
This reverts commit ebdc3a0393.
Not discussed, includes a new thing that queries the terminal for the client OS
when what is really needed is just a `uname` - which would also work on Terminal.app.
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.
We were inconsistent about this for no apparent reason.
Also cleaning up in ~/.config/fish/completions is
irrelevant by now since we moved to ~/.local/share/fish 8 years ago.
Now that the parent commit moved it again, cleaning up that one seems
reasonable.
This is another problem that has been bothering me for years: as mentioned
in 1dd901e52 (Maintain cursor in history prefix search, 2024-04-12), up-arrow
search highlights search matches but the contrast is really bad, especially in
command position, because the search matches --background=brblack is combined
with whatever foreground syntax highlighting the command has. The history
pager had a similar problem (for the selected history item) but circumented
it by disabling syntax highlighting altogether for the selected item.
fish_color_search_match's foreground component is ignored.
Let's use it instead of syntax highlighting.
This fixes the contrast on some default colorschemes but the bryellow
foreground looks weirdly like an error/warning on some terminals. Change it
to white. This needs a hack because we don't have a canonical way to tell
if a uvar has been set by the user. Fortunately the foreground component
hasn't been used at all so far, so we're not so much changing it as much as
initializing it.
This allows terminals like foot and kitty to
* scroll to the previous/next prompt with ctrl-shift-{z,x}
* pipe the last command's output to a pager with ctrl-shift-g
Kitty has existing fish shell integration
shell-integration/fish/vendor_conf.d/kitty-shell-integration.fish which we
can simplify now. They keep a state variable to decide which of prompt start,
command start or command end to output. I think with our implementation
this is no longer necessary, at least I couldn't reproduce any difference.
We also don't need to hook into fish_cancel or fish_posterror like they do;
only in the one place where we actually draw the prompt.
As mentioned in the above shell integration script, kitty disables reflow
when it sees an OSC 133 marker, so we need to do it ourselves,
otherwise the prompt will go blank after a terminal resize.
Closes#10352
Similar to 20bbdb68f (Set terminal title unconditionally, 2024-03-30).
While at it, get rid of a few unnecessary guards (we are never called from
a command substitution, so the check only adds confusion).
I'm not sure if it's worth supporting a terminal that mishandles unknown OSC
and CSI sequences. Better to fix the terminal. Note that there are Emacs
terminals available that don't have this problems; for example "vterm".
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
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/10359/checks?check_run_id=23330096362
Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
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 moves the stuff that creates skeleton/boilerplate files to
the same place we initialize uvars for the first time or on upgrade.
Being a bit less aggresssive here theoretically makes launch a little
lighter but really I personally just found it weird I couldn't
just delete my empty config.fish file without it getting recreated
and sourced every launch.
This tried migrating old abbreviations *twice* - once from the 2.3
scheme to the 2.4 one, and once from that to the 3.0 scheme.
Since this is purely for upgrading from fishes < 3.0, and basically
untested, let's remove it.
If anyone does that upgrade, they'll simply have to reexecute the abbrs.
We detect one terminal (foot) with a "string match" command, and all others in a long "test"
command. Let's put the detection of each terminal on a new line. This should be easier to read
and change. It also allows to lose one level of indentation.
This was an undocumented undunderscored function that wouldn't be
super useful to actually use manually (because it still checked if the
variable was set!). It also relied on `__init_uvar`, which was only
set in `__fish_config_interactive`.
Additionally it didn't remove any complexity because this was all very
simple "do thing a, do thing b, do thing c" stuff. It added a layer of
indirection instead, and made fish startup dependent on another
function.
If you want to reset your colorscheme to the default, use fish_config.
- Use named colors instead of hex values - not sure how this
happened in the first place, these all map to basic named colors.
- Reinitialize if these were last set on fish <3.4, new variables
have been added.
- Break this into a separate function for the sake of
__fish_config_interactive complexity, and allow for running
manually.
From my checks (gnome-terminal with the "gnome light" colorscheme)
this seems to be the only color that's barely visible in a light
terminal, and it's the only color mentioned in both bug reports.
I'm leaving the artistic decisions to others, this is now *acceptable*
in both.
Note that, because we use universal variables here (hint #7317), this
will only be changed for preexisting installations when the user
reloads the colorscheme.

This was a handler for various prompt variables that called a repaint.
Unfortunately, if you set one of those *inside* the prompt (a logical
place for it), this would lead to something like #7775.
So, because this isn't actually *useful* as far as I can see (how do
you set these variables in a way that you're not already inside a
prompt or about to draw a prompt? in a key binding?), we remove it,
like we removed the repaint from git's variable handlers.
In this context, as it stands, $last_pid will give fish's pid (because
of pgroup shenanigans).
Since that doesn't really work, just `disown` without and let fish
figure out what the last process was.
Theoretically this has an issue if someone started a background
process *before* the python script *and* that exits before we run
disown.
That's a vanishingly small window and this is only run on first start,
so it seems acceptable.
Fixes#7739.
Over in https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/115#issuecomment-765869705 one of my users noted that fish had automatic OSC 7, but that it wasn't enabled under WezTerm.
You can detect WezTerm through the `$TERM_PROGRAM` environment. In practical terms, all versions of wezterm in the wild support OSC 7 so a version check is not needed.
I'm not a fish user myself, but I did give the equivalent change to this a try on my Fedora 33 machine (it has an older version of fish).
I can see in this file that there's some stuff with `__fish_enable_focus` that you may also want to enable under wezterm; the escape sequence is supported as are panes, tabs and windows.
As mentioned in 5b706faa73, bare
`disown` has a problem: It disowns the last *existing* job.
Unfortunately, it's easy to see cases where that won't happen:
sleep 5m &
/bin/true & # will exit immediately
disown # will most likely disown *sleep*, not true
So what we do is to pass $last_pid.
In help especially this is likely to occur because many graphical
browsers fork immediately to avoid blocking the terminal (we only
added the backgrounding and disown because some weren't).
Note that it's *possible* this doesn't occur if used in the same
function, but I don't want to rely on those semantics.
It might be worth doing this as the default - see #7210.
It also reflows.
We might want to think about doing something more extensible here, as
konsole is also about to add reflow, but for now the main problem
children here are VTE and alacritty.
Extends #7491.
This could lead to an infinite loop (well, stack overflow) because
fish_command_not_found would also be defined to call
__fish_command_not_found_handler.
Since this is for
- missing command errors
- when downgrading
we can just remove it.
