Ah! My function was defined in a file called "~/.config/fish/functions/interactive.fish", sourced at startup. This is how fish used to work a long time ago, and I have somehow missed the change. I never re-read the documentation, because everything worked as expected. Should teach me not to stick around one project for so long :-) Putting the function in "~/.config/fish/functions/foo.fish" fixes this. That was the same cause for the other problem I reported earlier, and I was equally surprised. >From the documentation I understant that there are now some functions (called autoloaded functions) that are not kept in memory, but instead treated similar to external commands. When you issue a command, fish looks for a file by that name in the directories listed in variable "PATH"; if it does not find it, it looks for a file with the right name in the directories listed in variable "fish_function_path"; if it finds that, it sources it and invokes the function. Something like that? That could be clearer in the documentation as well as the error messages. I will write something as soon as I've got it. But the function was defiend before the pager was invoked. Why isn't it defined after it exits? And this only happens when there is no command on the comman line, not for example when the pager completes "ls<Tab>". That also relates to my question from another post about differences between scripts and functions. In a sense, you were thinking ahead and came close to unifying them. But I think there is more to be said about the relative advantages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
