Commit 8bf8b10f68 (Extended & human-friendly keys, 2024-03-30)
add bindings that obsolete the terminfo-based `bind -k` invocations.
The `bind -k` variants were still left around[^*]. Unfortunately it forgot to
add the new syntax for some special keys in Vi mode. This leads to issues if
a terminal that supports the kitty keyboard protocol sends an encoding that
differs from the traditional one. As far as I can tell, this happens when
capslock or numlock is active. Let's add the new key names and consistently
mark `bind -k` invocations as deprecated.
Fixes#11303
[^*]: Support for `bind -k` will probably be removed in a future release -
it leads to issues like https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/11278
where it's better to fail early.

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

As of 303af07, iTerm2 3.5.11 on two different machines has two different
behaviors. For unknown reasons, when pressing alt-right fish_key_reader
shows "\e\[1\;9C" on one machine and "\e\[1\;3C" on another.
Feels like iTerm2 interprets modifyOtherKeys differently, depending on
configuration.
We don't want to risk asking for the kitty
keyboard protocol until iTerm2 3.5.12 (see
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/11004#issuecomment-2571494782).
So let's work around around this weirdness by adding back the legacy
bindings removed in c0bcd817ba (Remove obsolete bindings, 2024-04-28) and
plan to remove them in a few years.
Note that fish_key_reader still reports this as "left", which already has
a different binding, but it looks like literal matches of legacy sequences
have precedence.

As reported in

Running
fish -C '
fzf_key_bindings
echo fish_vi_key_bindings >>~/.config/fish/config.fish
fzf-history-widget
'
and pressing "enter" will add escape sequences like "[2 q" (cursor shape)
to fish's command line.
This is because fzf-history-widget binds "enter" to a filter
that happens to be a fish script:
set -lx FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS \
... \
"--bind='enter:become:string replace -a -- \n\t \n {2..} | string collect'" \
'--with-shell='(status fish-path)\\ -c)
The above ~/.config/fish/config.fish (redundantly) runs "fish_vi_key_bindings"
even in *noninteractive* shells, then "fish_vi_cursor" will print cursor
sequences in its "fish_exit" handler. The sequence is not printed to the
terminal but to fzf which doesn't parse CSI commands.
This is a regression introduced by a5dfa84f73 (fish_vi_cursor: skip if stdin
is not a tty, 2023-11-14). That commit wanted "fish -c read" to be able to
use Vi cursor. This is a noninteractive shell, but inside "read" we are
"effectively interactive". However "status is-interactive" does not tell
us that.
Let's use a more contained fix to make sure that we print escape sequences only
if either fish is interactive, or if we are evaluating an interactive read.
In general, "fish -c read" is prone to configuration errors, since we
recommend gating configuration (for bind etc) on "status is-interactive"
which will not run here.

(This regressed in version 4 which sends OSC 7 to all terminals)
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.

Proposed upstream fix https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1820
(cherry picked from commit c926a87bdb)
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
And leave the old behavior under the name "cancel-commandline".
This renames "cancel-commandline-traditional" back to
"cancel-commandline", so the old name triggers the old behavior.
Fixes#10935
To make it more familiar to vi/vim users.
In all mode, ctrl-k is bind to kill-line.
In Vi visual mode:
* press v or i turn into normal or insert mode respectively.
* press I turn to insert mode and move the cursor to beginning of line.
* because fish doesn't have upcase/locase-selection, and most people reach for
g-U rather than g-u, g-U binds to togglecase-selection temporarily.

Fixes#10980.
This would, if a commandline was given, still revert to checking
the *real* commandline if it was empty.
Unfortunately, in those cases, it could have found a command and tried
to complete it.
If a commandline is given, that is what needs to be completed.
(note this means this is basically useless in completions that use it
like `sudo` and could just be replaced with `complete -C"$commandline"`)

__fish_cancel_commandline was unused (even before) and has some issues

When built with the default "installable" feature, the data files (share/) are
included in the fish binary itself.
Run `fish --install` or `fish --install=noconfirm` (for
non-interactive use) to install fish's data files into ~/.local/share/fish/install
To figure out if the data files are out of date, we write the current version
to a file on install, and read it on start.
CMake disables the default features so nothing changes for that, but this allows installing via `cargo install`,
and even making a static binary that you can then just upload and have extract itself.
We set $__fish_help_dir to empty for installable builds, because we do not have
a way to generate html docs (because we need fish_indent for highlighting).
The man pages are found via $__fish_data_dir/man
Mostly we pass on the options - otherwise they would be ignored.
For `clear`, we do need the full checks, because that will
prompt *before* running the builtin.
But this makes it easier to eventually move that logic into the builtin

fish by default shows a git-aware prompt. Recall that on macOS, there are
two hazards we must avoid:
1. The command `/usr/bin/git` is installed by default. This command is not
actually git; instead it's a stub which pops open a dialog proposing to
install Xcode command line tools. Not a good experience.
2. Even after installing these tools, the first run of any `git` or other
command may be quite slow, because it's now a stub which invokes `xcrun`
which needs to populate a cache on a fresh boot. Another bad experience.
We previously attempted to fix this by having `xcrun` print out its cache
path and check if there's a file there. This worked because `xcrun` only
lazily created that file. However, this no longer works: `xcrun` now
eagerly creates the file, and only lazily populates it. Thus we think git
is ready, when it is not.
(This can be reproduced by running `xcrun --kill-cache` and then running
the default fish shell prompt - it will be slow).
Change the fix in the following way: using sh, run `/usr/bin/git --version;
touch /tmp/__fish_git_ready` in the background. Then detect the presence of
/tmp/__fish_git_ready as a mark that git is ready.
Fixes#10535
This is nicer when you use fish over ssh, and that system does not
have a browser. But the system where your terminal is has one, and so
now you can just click the link.
alt-e restores the cursor position received from the editor, moving by
one character at a time. This can be super slow on large commandlines,
even on release builds. Let's fix that by setting the coordinates
directly.
This happens when using alt-e to edit the command buffer,
adding some lines, leaving the cursor at the end
and quitting the editor without saving.
Let's avoid the noisy error that has sort of bad rendering (would
need __fish_echo).
With BSD man, "PAGER=vim man man | cat" hangs because
[man](https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/usr.bin/man/man.sh) wrongly
calls the pager even though stdout is not a terminal.
This hang manifests in places where we call apropos in a subshell,
such as in "complete -Ccar".
Let's work around this I guess. This should really be fixed upstream
because it's a problem in every app that wants to display man pages
but doesn't emulate a complete terminal.
Weirdly, the Apple derivative of man.sh uses WHATISPAGER instead
of MANPAGER.
Closes#10820
Let's provide a sensible default here. Use a line for "insert" and an
underline for "replace_one" mode. Neovim does the same, it feels pretty
slick.
As mentioned in #10806
As of the parent commit, __fish_vi_key_bindings_remove_handlers
should be working properly now, so this is no longer necessary That
function also cleans up other stuff like fish_cursor_end_mode, that
fish_default_key_bindings doesn't know anything about.
Also this fixes a spurious exit status of 4 in some scenarios.
fish_key_bindings may be set directly
or via fish_{default,vi}_key_bindings.
The latter use "set --no-event" to simplify their control
flow. This (24836f965 (Use set --no-event in the key binding
functions, 2023-01-10)) broke Vi mode cleanup, since Vi mode
uses a variable hook. Let's update this variable also when using
fish_{default,vi}_key_bindings. Another reason to keep this variable
in sync is to make the fish_key_bindings handlers working as expected.
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.
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
Users may install two versions of fish and configure their terminal to run
the one that is second in $PATH. This is not really what I'd do but it
seems reasonable. We should not need $PATH for this.

1. Leave the indentation
2. Leave the "NAME" header - without the first line would be
unindented
3. Leave the "SYNOPSIS" header
We use $MANPAGER here, so it should be formatted like a manpage.
The alternative is to write special docs for this use-case, which
would be shorter and point towards the full man page.
