    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Is there any way to run bash/zsh scripts that set environment
variables under fish?  I was hoping there'd be a function that did
something like:

1. Run printenv under fish, capture the output.
2. Run the script under bash, capture the output of printenv.
3. Diff the two printenv outputs, and run set commands within fish as
appropriate.

The script I'm especially trying to get working with fish at the moment is

but it's a somewhat general problem.

The following URL explains that this excerpt looks like a highbrow 
newspaper. Authors should try to make it more easily understood.

Variable expansion is the only type of expansion performed on double 
quoted strings. There is, however, an important difference in how 
variables are expanded when quoted and when unquoted. An unquoted 
variable expansion will result in a variable number of arguments. For 
example, if the variable $foo has zero elements or is undefined, the 
argument $foo will expand to zero elements. If the variable $foo is an 
array of five elements, the argument $foo will expand to five elements. 
When quoted, like "$foo", a variable expansion will always result in 
exactly one argument. Undefined variables will expand to the empty 
string, and array variables will be concatenated using the space character.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hello fellow fish fans,

We've cut a fish 2.0 branch. In one week we will release fish 2.0, unless showstopping bugs are found. Minor bugs or enhancements won't be merged until after the release, with the exception of documentation and site fixes.

The prerelease website is hosted on S3 and can be accessed at

   http://fishshell.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com

The files can be downloaded from there, including a tarball and a few Linux packages.

Not yet available:

   - Homebrew link for OS X
   - Directory listing for most Linux packages
   - 404 page
   - Release notes

Please live on and test fish 2.0, and report any major bugs you find ASAP. Thanks!

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi, I apologize in advance because this question is off-topic, but how does
fish-shell do the immediate update of the terminal for per-character
feedback for the user?

To be more specific, what C function or library might I use to implement a
predictive autocomplete for a user without requiring them to hit the TAB
key?

I am trying to figure out how to implement the same kind of
typeahead/autocomplete in another command-line application I am working on.

Thanks so much in advance.

Sincerely,
Bert

I am taken back to the default prompt, with no indication as to whether or

    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/3714</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I'm having trouble creating a completion for a subcommand with it's own arguments.

thecommand help [topic1|topic2|topic3]

complete -c thecommand -n '__fish_use_subcommand' -a help -d 'get help on subcommand'
complete -c thecommand -n '__fish_seen_subcommand_from help' -a 'topic1 topic2 topic3' -d "sub-command topic"


The problem is that autocompletion now wants to include all the help topics with the possible sub-commnand completions.

i.e.

thecommand &amp;lt;hit tab here&amp;gt;

# The returned completions are "help topic1 topic2 topic3", it should only be "help"

How do I make it so that "topic1 topic2 topic3" doesn't show until "help" is on the command line?

    <title>launch byobu at login with fish</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/3713</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hello!

I am great fan ob byobu and it is very useful in my daily work, thank you for your work!

It would be great if the option "Byobu currently launches at login (toggle off)" would work also in my favorite terminal fish (it is the default one on my server). Can you give me some hints how to achieve that?

My configuration:
fish, version 1.23.1
byobu version 5.17

Thank you!
Christoph

    <title>Script introspection</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/3711</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;How does a script figure out where it is being run from?

In Bash you can use this bit of ugliness:

# Find where we are installed; not linked to
SOURCE="${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"
while [ -h "$SOURCE" ]; do # resolve $SOURCE until the file is no longer a symlink
  DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" &amp;amp;&amp;amp; pwd )"
  SOURCE="$(readlink "$SOURCE")"
  [[ $SOURCE != /* ]] &amp;amp;&amp;amp; SOURCE="$DIR/$SOURCE" # if $SOURCE was a relative symlink, we need to resolve it relative to the path where the symlink file was located
done
DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" &amp;amp;&amp;amp; pwd )"
export DOTDIR=$DIR


Is there a way to do this in fish? Hopefully in a more straight forward way.
