Mmm, you're right, it's not defined by default, it simply uses the default value. That makes it harder to find, though the information is in the documentation. I'll add a default fish_title function, maybe I should add a specific subject to the help command on this as well. > > I've been toying around with implementing various triggers that detect > > when any of these happen, so that fish would be able to automatically > > determine if the prompt actually needs to be reexecuted/repainted. > > how about providing some builtin functions for special actions like > delete-or-exit where you exactly know what they do, so you also know > that you can skip redrawing. like a default as above with the fish_title > function. The point of doing e.g. delete-or-exit as a generic shellscript functions is to keep as much as possible outside of the shell proper. This in turn is to keep the codebase as small and modular as possible, in order to reduce the number of bugs, etc. As a further benefit, any bugs in a shellscript should be unable to crash the shell, the worst that can happen is that your commandline gets a bit messed up. I consider the performance of delete-or-exit a bug, but I am not sure how to solve the it. Not using a shellscript, as you suggest, is definitely a simple and viable solution. Trouble is, if fish ever become popular, I would hope that people start writing their own keyboard shortcuts, and those would _have_ to be done as shellscripts, so it would simply mean pushing the problem to the future. > greetings, martin. > -- > cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix > offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world > -- > pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org > unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at > administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org > Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
