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 Suraj N.

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 Stefano Sabatini 2008-09-06T08:33:11 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/1955 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.

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 Henry Precheur 2008-08-26T03:57:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/1949 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 mailing list Fish-users-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f< at >public.gmane.org https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users Ovchinnikov George 2008-08-24T10:10:29 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/1948 A friend seems to have been able to set fish as his default shell, but I can't.

I converted a few of my bash aliases into fish functions. However, for some reason (unknown to me) it seems that within an (interactive) Fish shell I am unable to use sudo in combination with Fish functions. For example, in ~/.config/fish/config.fish I have defined the following "agi" function: function agi apt-get install $argv end The following output explains my problem: fish< at >laptop ~> agi install fish E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? fish< at >laptop ~> sudo agi install fish sudo: agi: command not found fish< at >nerd-laptop ~> sudo apt-get install fish Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done fish is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. So "agi" only works without sudo.

The mimedb application will hang when it encounters a certain type of XML mime file. Here's an example of a file that screws up mimedb on the latest release of fish: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info" type="application/x-ruby"> <!--Created automatically by update-mime-database.

It's no different from, say, ~/inst/stow/ which means the same thing as $HOME/inst/stow/ ! Tab completion even works! And I get: fish: Variables may not be used as commands. Instead, define a function. See the help section for the function command by typing “help function”. I'm just going to patch fish to allow variables in commands (assuming it's simple enough), for my own use; I'll send the patch in case you feel like applying it. Do note however that for programming -- not for convenient use -- there is a fairly easy solution that packages up the eval/function hackery (eval is at a great cost -- fish builtins/functions may be accidentally called, so you may actually not want to do this in a script) : alias foo $dollars/using/expression foo If we wanted we could define function run alias -l foo $argv[1] shift #wrong foo $argv end ... except that there's no -l for alias so we're stuck with inlining its definitions... oh wait... there Isaac Dupree 2008-07-12T11:00:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/1925 Command doesn't need to be a builtin, if we can rely on common shell programs... it could be a Unix command (or for some reason we like to make things into shell functions, not sure why), just like `env` basically. something like function command -d 'Runs an executable (not a function or builtin)' # handle --help (see footnote [*]) env -- $argv end Of course, if it was a script, it would use `exec`: command: #!fish (or some such path, or /usr/bin/env fish, or just /bin/sh) # handle --help (see footnote [*]) exec env -- $argv #[*]why does help-handling have so much duplicate code #across fish functions?? It's already led to a bug from copying #this code and not changing the xxx in __fish_print_help xxx ... if count $argv >/dev/null switch $argv[1] case -h --h --he --hel --help __fish_print_help command return 0 end end -Isaac ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW! Studies have s Isaac Dupree 2008-07-06T15:10:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/1924 (now using the darcs version.. yay!) my "open" help patch isn't yet applied, no problem for me because darcs lets me keep it... I'm looking at the syntax hilighting for "status" and the short-options (-l, etc.) are marked red incorrectly. I forgot that fish doesn't use "then" in if-statements. But the error message was atrocious: it only appears in the case that the boolean expression turns out true, and it says "unknown command 'then'". (At least I remembered to use 'end' instead of 'fi'!) I think it's unreasonable to name a program 'then' or 'fi', so we don't need to support invoking them without using their path or `command then`. But regardless, this is another case where we'd like that functionality where fish concurrently gives you messages in response to your editing, saying what you've probably done wrong... although that doesn't work for scripts. And we need to figure out how to make `if --help` (and so on) work; without that, the "everything is a command" fish-philosophy is les Isaac Dupree 2008-07-06T14:03:47 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/1923 First, the bug: This is the somewhat shorter version of the bug: ls /etc/<tab> <any letter, I use q 'cause I'd like to quit the pager.> (Known to work, but try the above first.): vim /etc/network/interfaces :q! <Up Arrow> <Tab> <Delete "/interfaces"> <Tab> <Delete "/network/"> <Tab> <Hit space until you get to the end> q This is on Debian, 2.6.18-6-486 fish, version 1.22.1 Now, the feature request that goes along with this bug: It would be nice if the pager acted a bit like `less` or `more`, hitting 'q' should drop you out of the pager. It's somewhat counterintuitive to just start typing while there is a pager up, hitting q, leaving everything that was in the pager on the screen for reference so I can type would be awesome. I frequently delete the 'q' I type every time I open the pager by accident. Also, this is my first time actually posting to the list, great job on fish, guys! It's a pleasure to use! -Devon ------------------------------------------------------------------- Devon Stewart 2008-06-28T08:33:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.fish.user/1920 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
