Disable X clipboard support?

A.W — 2008-11-15T21:12:47

Hello, something in my ad-hoc setup that lets me use GTK and terminal emacs across multiple machines and share kills/wipes is also preventing anything I kill on the command line from beng usable again, it just shows the last thing I killed in emacs. In fact i think it was giving me things I killed in Conkeror as well... In any case, I'd be better of without X clipboard support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Thanks, Abe. Without having played with it, I also would think that this algorithm would be confusing for users. The relevance score may be a nice idea, though it is arguably even more complicated. I seem to recall that we once discussed using the position of the cursor as an indicator; if the cursor is at char0, restrict the search to strings that start with the query string. If we did not discuss it, at least I was thinking about the idea. Of course, I can't argue that it's more obvious to users, but it may be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

BUG: Mimedb is blocking on some extensions

Benjamin Dauvergne — 2008-10-31T09:23:21

Hi, I saw that mimedb blocked my fish command line when TAB-completing and I traced the problem somewhere, I thought you would be interested. The full report is in the Ubuntu bug repository: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fish/+bug/149998 Hope this help. I use fish 1.23.0 on Ubuntu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

mimedb

Stestagg — 2008-10-20T10:39:07

the mimedb bug that causes it to hang on certain XML files causes serious problems with tab-completion with glade files (amongst others). Until a proper fix is released, this temporary patch can be used to limit the mimedb RegEx recursion and make tab-completion usable again: diff -rN old-fish/mimedb.c new-fish/mimedb.c 582,583c582,584 < */ < while( !regexec(start_re, start, 1, match, 0) ) --- btw. Fish is a great shell.

Hi A.W, You can subscribe to the list at . I have added your email address to the automatic-accept list, so even if you don't subscribe, your posts will go straight through without having to be approved by a moderator (of whom, at present, there is only one - me - Axel being inexplicably away). On that issue - does anyone know what's happened to Axel? I sent him an email a while ago and he never responded, and his last post to this list was back in February. I haven't been following this list for about a year now (my new hobby is philosophy forums), and - horror of horrors! - my primary shell isn't even fish anymore (not that I use the shell much anyway these days). I have been performing the task of monitoring the withheld-for-moderation posts for genuine posts amongst the utter deluge of spam simply because I appreciate Axel's work and because I'm therefore willing to contribute in some small way, even if I no longer read or write i

I've just switched to fish as my main shell, and my unorthodox emacs/xsel integration so I can use conkeror and terminal emacs via ssh is making any kills made on the cli simply vanish, and I'm left with what I just pulled from emacs... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Re: find exit code

Isaac Dupree — 2008-10-11T18:17:46

quite agreed. for people new to shell in general, a short summary to match GUI folder-navigation might be nice, e.g. mv, cp, cd, '..', ls [-l]. Opening files is more of a nuisance, even though fish provides "open" function, if sometimes you instead want to open them in a shell-like way. (and on my system at least, Ubuntu GNU/Linux, in shells other than fish, "open" means something quite confusingly different) -I ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Re: find exit code

Beni Cherniavsky — 2008-10-11T18:06:20

Actually, your example happens to be a good counter-example. It's "!$", not "$!", so it's not necessarily illegal, and if illegal it'll because the "$" is not followed by anything, so the normal parser won't detect it. Other examples where a string suggests a user is applying a construct from another shell, but the error it causes is unrelated: "while...; do ...; done" no "do" in path; moreover, you can't even press enter to execute it and see the error until you guess the magic "end" word! "du `find -name '*.c'`" legal in fish, du will print obscure errors that "`find" was not found "ls foo.[ch]" again legal in fish, "file not found" from ls This is why I think the hints should be (a) matched orthogonally from the normal parser, and (b) displayed while editing. (b) is more helpful, and safely tolerates false positives. An orthogonal pass against a set of strings requires less programming than special-casing the existing parser, and allows unskilled people to contribute hints. The transien
