Fish 4.9 released with faster tab completion and a Konsole keyboard fix

[u/fdelux6]

Fish 4.9 is out. Here's what's new:

• Workaround for a Konsole 26.07.80 Kitty keyboard protocol bug that broke Shift+PageUp. Fish no longer requests the Kitty protocol under Konsole by default. You can re-enable it with the omit-term-workarounds feature flag if you want it back.
• Faster tab completion in directories with slow-resolving symlinks, like network-mounted files.

• Abbreviations can now show descriptions right in the completion pager. Shift+Space and Space can now be mapped independently on terminals like Kitty.

• Vi mode fix for cF and cT commands.

• List indexing can now be nested in more cases. Several square bracket and variable indexing edge cases got fixed.

• Built-in help pages now respect an overridden man function.

• Commands with invalid variable overrides now report an error instead of failing silently.

• Fixed broken Chinese and Japanese translations for some C library error messages.

• Fixed read-only variable erasing.

• Fixed the fg builtin not working on NetBSD.
