[Fish-users] Send in your prompts!

Hello fellow fish fans, I'm working on a prompt editor, which will include a bunch of sample prompts that the user can preview and then use (or edit). I'd like to include real prompts contributed by real users, showing the range possible prompts. If you're willing, please send me the following:

Re: [Fish-users] fishfish page

Hi Tom, fish is mostly POSIX compliant, in the sense of IEEE 1003.1. That is, its behavior for commands like echo, test, cd, pwd, etc. hew close to the POSIX standard. Scripting is where it really diverges. What I hope to convey is that you won't have to learn a whole new command set, because

Re: [Fish-users] Setting Tab title in iTerm2 with Fish

Hi Robin, I tracked down the problem. There's no simple fix from a fish function, but if you're willing to rebuild fish it can be fixed. In reader.cpp, look for this line: writestr( L"\x1b]2;" ); Replace that 2 with a 1 or 0. They have the following significance: 2: Window title 1: Tab tit

Re: [Fish-users] 'help' doesn't work on fresh install on Fedora 17

Hi Ryan, You probably don't have doxygen installed. fish uses doxygen at build time to construct the HTML help files. If doxygen is not present, the build will still succeed, but will not produce the help files. Hope that helps, _fish On Jun 7, 2012, at 2:39 PM, Ryan wrote: > ryan@host ~> he

Re: [Fish-users] homebrew install?

Hello Rossen, When we release the next version, we will certainly provide a homebrew recipe. Until then, you can try this suggestion from atnan's twitter feed: "If you use Homebrew & want to try @ridiculous_fish's fork of the fish shell, $(brew edit fish) and change HEAD to https://git.gitorio

[Fish-users] GitHub move complete

Hello fellow fish fans, The second open beta has been released, and the response has been awesome! I'm more excited than ever. I will have a lot more to say before long, but I wanted to immediately share changes to the repository. fish is now hosted on GitHub under the 'fish-shell' account:

Re: [Fish-users] Hiding a command from history

Hi Gavin, There's no way to run a command with suppressed history yet. However, it is possible to delete a history item, via the history built-in (e.g. history --delete foo). Hope that helps, _fish On Jun 7, 2012, at 3:48 PM, Gavin Brock wrote: > Hi, > > In some shells, such as bash, you can

Re: [Fish-users] Converting old fish history to the new format?

Hi Sanskrit, With this fix checked into trunk, it should correctly import fish 1.x's history. https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/commit/18f04adccbaff74f12ad12f3f6ceb123e5ccf47f Let me know if it doesn't work for you! _fish On Jun 10, 2012, at 2:00 AM, SanskritFritz wrote: > Is there a wa

Ian, thank you for tackling this!! vi mode is highly desired by other users, but I don't know enough about it to implement it. Regarding repainting, does 'commandline -f repaint' work? _fish On Jun 21, 2012, at 12:03 AM, Ian Munsie wrote: >> your vi-mode works wonderful. >> I've only the prob
