Re: last argument of previous command

Philip Ganchev — 2008-10-01T01:44:34

Command names are usually short, so there is little cost in re-typing them. Intermediate arguments are usually parameters, which only work with the command. But the last argument is often the name of a file or directory, and you often want to perform several operations on it. For example: mkdir -P one/very/long/file/path cd $! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: last argument of previous command

Myrddin Emrys — 2008-10-01T00:37:37

I'm curious... I can understand the need to retrieve the previous command. But what's the value in retrieving the somewhat arbitrary last argument of the last command? Where is that useful? Even retrieving the first argument (ie, $0, the command name) seems more useful than retrieving the last argument. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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: last argument of previous command

Time to add it to the FAQ I think. And there should be a prominent link to the FAQ from the web site (currently one must guess that it's inside "user documentation").

last argument of previous command

Suraj N. Kurapati — 2008-09-21T02:28:52

Hello, Sorry if this question has been asked before; it's very difficult to search the mailing list archives for something weird like "!$". What is the equivalent of csh's "!$" expression (which evaluates to the last argument of the previous command) in fish? For example: csh% echo 1 2 3 1 2 3 csh% echo !$ 3 When I try the above in fish, it says: The '$' begins a variable name. It was given at the end of an argument. Variable names may not be zero characters long. To learn more about variable expansion in fish, type “help expand-variable”. Thanks for your consideration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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=/ _______________________________________________ Fish-users maili

Re: Question about vi-mode

Henry Precheur — 2008-09-21T00:22:55

I looked quickly in the source code and I did not see anything concerning a vi-mode except a vi-arg-digit function. I guess that's not a very good sign. On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 03:04:41PM +0200, Markus Banfi wrote:

fish maintenance status

Stefano Sabatini — 2008-09-06T08:33:11

Hi all, fish is completely still since many months, no additions/fixes have been done since February IIRC, and Axel, the main author and maintainer is apparently missing from the list. So I'd like to know which is the maintenance status of fish, if there is someone currently involved in its development and if the apparent stall where it currently seems to be is due to some temporary reason. I like fish so much, it is a terrific usability improvement compared to bash and other similar shells, and I think it would be very sad to see it die for undermaintenance. Unfortunately I can't dedicate myself to its development, but I'd like to contribute completions for many of the commands I use everyday. Friendly regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

Re: open command in other shells

Henry Precheur — 2008-09-05T20:25:37

You can't. The open command is a fish function: /usr/share/fish/functions/open.fish But all it does is invoking xdg-open or mimedb -l. So you could write something like this in your bashrc to get the same thing: if which xdg-open > /dev/null then alias open=xdg-open else alias open='mimedb -l --' fi On Tue, Sep 02, 2008 at 04:11:58AM -0700, Good Bad wrote:

Completions for effectv

Stefano Sabatini — 2008-09-04T22:21:11

Hi fishes, attached completion file for effectv. BTW I'm realizing that one of the problem with completions is that they depend on the version of the program. Ideally fish completions should be installed with every program itself, but this is rather unrealistic. A solution would be to detect somehov (parsing --version/-V/-version/-v?) the version number of the program and then eventually to report a warning.

Re: something identical to bash's !$

Beni Cherniavsky — 2008-08-30T23:57:09

Expanded explanation: History substitution was invented before interactive line editing. Good interactive history recall is more convenient but requires a small change of habits - if you want to modify an old line/word, first recall it, then edit. E.g. don't type "sudo !!" - first press Up, then Home, then type "sudo ". Fish history recall is very simple yet effective: * As in any modern shell, the Up arrow recalls whole lines, starting from the last line executed. A single press replaces "!!", later presses replace "!-3" and the like. + If the line you want is far back in the history, type any part of the line and then press Up one or more times. This will constrain the recall to lines that include this text, and you will get to the line you want much faster. This replaces "!vi", "!?bar.c" and the like. * Alt+Up recalls individual arguments, starting from the last argument in the last line executed. A single press replaces "!$", later presses replace "!!:4" and the like. + If the argument you

Problem with getopt

Henry Precheur — 2008-08-26T03:57:52

Greetings fish-users mailling list! I just started using Fish on Ubuntu and really like it. I am slowly leaving my old love ZSH. I am trying to make fish work on OpenBSD and would eventually make a port of fish for OpenBSD. But I just ran into a problem regarding getopt(1). Fish assumes that the GNU version of getopt(1) is present. This version comes with several extra-"features". Including long-options as documented here: http://www.rt.com/man/getopt.1.html The problem is that most *BSD stick to 'classic' version of getopt(1) without adding extra features: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getopt http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=getopt http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?getopt These versions treat all options as options to be parsed and do not support long-options parsing. Which means every time fish uses a GNU/getopt options I get something like this: getopt: unknown option -- Q getopt: unknown option -- o I guess that removing -Q from fish scripts is not a problem even
