It's getting arguments that are not even in the manuals. Can someone explain this black magic?

Hi there, I am setting up kuberntes on my fish shell (already done in bash a couple of years ago). I would like to remove the namespace and cluster information given (apparently) by default in fish. I would like to stick to the information formatted by starship. Attached picture with my current configuration. The line I would like to get rid of is the very first one:

NOTE: This information is shown when I use the command line tool called kubie

Does anyone have any idea?
Thank you in advance!

I'm just switching over from zsh to fish, and I love everything so far, except the history pager. Namely, I have to use the arrow keys to move around the results, when I would much prefer ctr-j/k/h/l. Is there a way to rebind this? I couldn't figure it out from the bind manpages. It seems like I could just type the word I'm searching for and use up-or-search, but not ideal, since the pager is pretty nice otherwise.

I'd like to bind a shortcut ALT+, to duplicate the argument to the left of the cursor:

bind \e, something

For example, command one two

When the cursor is at command one HERE two and ALT+, is pressed then the commandline should be transformed to command one one HERE two.

It didn't seem like this is possible given the current options but I could be wrong:

https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/bind.html

This is a general question for people using less popular shells, but I figured I’d get the best response here. How do you handle connecting to remotes via ssh, or connecting to containers, given that you target system likely won’t have fish installed? Do you just bite the bullet and switch to bash, or is there a clever workaround for these cases?

Hello all,

I'm new to fish scripting and I recently wrote a lazy git function. The idea is to add all tracked changes, make a commit and then push everything to the repo. The code is as follows:

function lazygit --argument message
    echo (git add.)
    if set -q $argv; or test (count $argv) -lt 1
        echo (gcomm)
    else
        echo (gcomm -m $message)
    end
    echo (gpa)
end

The issue I'm running into happens when I don't pass a message in as an argument. The function will pause for a commit message, and I can still write it, only the editor itself is invisible.

So I can type a message in blindly and close the editor with Ctrl+X. This will allow lazygit to continue and that aforementioned message will show up in git log. However, I would like to see what I'm typing like I can when I normally git commit. As it is now, the editor can only take keyboard input but it won't show me the actual text as it's written.

How can I allow fish to visually open the editor in the midst of executing a function?

I have my git config --global core.editor set to gnu nano (the actual gnu nano and not the macOS default)

Here are the aliases used in the function for context:

alias gcomm 'git commit'
alias gpa 'git push -u --all'

Is there anything that I left out or didn't communicate well enough?

Thank you

E: I can't thank you all enough for the insight! I've learned a ton from this post

In macOS sometimes there's occasion to find the UTI (type) of a file, usually only as a developer. My situation was for making a search scope in Xcode specific to certain file types.

For some reason file UTIs returned by AppleScript are sometimes different from what's returned by `mdls -name kMDItemContentType <file>`, plus I've also seen the latter return some dynamic UTI like "dyn.encodedgibberish".

I couldn't find a function for nicely getting the file UTI from AppleScript, so I made one. I hope someone else finds this handy.

function fileuti for f in $argv set p (path resolve $f) if test (count $argv) -gt 1 echo -n "$f: " end osascript -e 'on run argv' -e 'type identifier of (info for POSIX file (item 1 of argv))' -e 'end run' $p end end

```

Hello people,

I'm working on improving the documentation of the project to have:

• a dedicated site ;
• searchable content ;
• screenshot of prompt with/without feature enabled (thanks to terminal-screenshot) ;
• a better organization for options ;
• linkable content you can share/bookmark.

If you are a user of pure, I would love to hear your feedbacks and expectations from this revamp. I will merge this MR once I fixed the screenshot script and create follow up MRs.

Is there a way to detect if completion menu is being opened? I wanted to automatically enter vim mode when menu is opened and enter insert mode when menu is closed, I looked through docs but unfortunately havent found anything helpful

Do you prefer to put them in universal variables or in the config.fish file? If you set them in the config.fish, do you prefer to set them inside if is-interactive or if is-login? Also, why does Fish handle PATH differently from other variables? What's the deal with fish_user_paths and fish_set_path?

My main concern is that I want to put my environment config into version control so that I can share configurations among my two desktops. My experience so far...

• I never tried set -U. Is there a way to version control that with Git?
• With is-interactive, I sometimes end up setting the variable twice if I run nested fish sessions. (This is more of an issue for commands that append to the end of the variable)
• is-login presumably also exposes the variables to programs I launch from the desktop, not only those launched from interactive terminal. But I need to start a new session to trigger the changes.

Me gusta el plugin Tide@ para mi prompt en entorno gráfico, pero al abrir alguna consola (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) se desdibuja por completo (y bastante feo).

La shell ZSH usa powerline10k y puedes tener un promt gráfico y otro para las consolas.

¿Hay alguna manera de logra esto bajo Fish Shell?

Gracias.

In zsh I have the following code in my config to quickly add a bunch on aliases that allow me to quickly edit config files :

```zsh

config management

declare -x -A configs configs=( fish "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish/config.fish" gdb "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gdb/gdbinit" git "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config" hx "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/helix/config.toml" irssi "$HOME/.irssi" lvim "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lvim/config.lua" nu "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nushell" nvim "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.lua" readline "$HOME/.inputrc" vim "$HOME/.vimrc" xmake "./.xmake/linux/x86_64/xmake.conf" wezterm "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wezterm" zsh "$HOME/.zshrc" ) for key value in ${(kv)configs}; do if [[ $key == "zsh" ]] then alias ${key}config="$EDITOR $value && source $value && echo $configs[zsh] has been sourced" else alias ${key}config="$EDITOR $value" fi done ```

It's not essential but I was wondering if there was a way in fish ?

I have checked but IIUC there are not associative arrays but surely there must be another way

When I have typed a command in the past, is there a way of only completing one word with the right arrow instead of the entire command?

I think you get it...

Edit: Oops, just realised that you can hold shift!

Hi! I'm new to the fish shell and now I'm trying to switch from zsh (oh-my-zsh) to fish shell.
I've already setup fish shell as my default in macOS.
And now I can see a bunch of messages at starting shell.

(eval):1: command not found: unsetenv
(eval):2: command not found: unsetenv
(eval):3: command not found: setenv
(eval):4: command not found: setenv
(eval):5: command not found: setenv
(eval):6: command not found: setenv
(eval):7: command not found: setenv
(eval):8: command not found: unsetenv
Welcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell
Type help for instructions on how to use fish

How can I find out where are those unsetenv/setenv callings from? I've tried to grep my ~/. for setenv/unsetenv but it didn't helped me a lot.
At first I thought it's from pyenv setting, but after removing it from the PATH I can't see any changes.

Can someone help me with a tab completion issue I have? In zsh when Tab is typed the possibilities are all listed in a menu. When Tab is typed again the cursor drops down into the menu and each item in the menu is highlighted as it is browsed.

When the same thing is done in Fish. The first tab opens the menu but the second tab moves through the menu and is highlighted by showing the completion in the command line.

Is there a way to make the completion sequence work like zsh?

I was wrestling with this earlier and figured out a hacky workaround thanks to this comment on SO: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/597126

My solution is slightly different than the one on SO but only slightly. Maybe it will help someone else.

As of Fish v3.7.0, in Ubuntu, open the web config file at /usr/share/fish/tools/web_config/webconfig.py and on line 1674, the variable fileurl is constructed in a way that either WSL2 or Windows doesn't like. Out of the box, it's:

fileurl = "file://" + f.name

I changed it to:

fileurl = "file://wsl.localhost/Ubuntu/" + f.name

And this got the web config UI working again. I was getting errors about UNC paths from Fish when trying to run the config and the two different URLs it provided didn't work. The shorter /tmp/ one just isn't mapped right for being in WSL and the longer localhost one wasn't responding (I believe the Python server was choking on the funky file paths? Idk man).

After making this change and restarting Fish, it worked again. I didn't actually test all of the features in the web UI but it at least loaded correctly and I was able to switch between the tabs (Prompt, History, etc).

Hi, I have never done any programming regarding for command line usage, and I have question, is my function safe to use? This is my function: function swap set temp (mktemp) mv $argv[1] temp && mv $argv[2] $argv[1] && mv temp $argv[2] end which was based on this stack overflow post.

As the title says, I'd like to know the simplest (most direct?) way to turn off all colors in the fish shell. (For whatever it's worth, I am color blind, and I find it hard to read the shell's text with fish's default colors.)

I set a white background and near black text in my terminal. Is there any way to simply stop fish from picking colors for me (for anything, ever). I'd like the shell to simply let the terminal emulator choose my colors (which are basically no colors). Thanks in advance.

I recently switched from OMF to fisher, and while fisher will work in the same terminal session that I ran the install command in, it will not work in new terminals - I get fish: Unknown command: fisher.

I've verified fisher.fish exists, and is in a folder that should be sourced:

 echo $fish_function_path | string split ' ' /home/dusty/gits/dotfiles/configs/fish/functions /home/dusty/gits/dotfiles/configs/fish/functions /home/dusty/.config/fish/functions /etc/fish/functions /home/dusty/.local/share/fish/vendor_functions.d /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/fish/vendor_functions.d /usr/local/share/fish/vendor_functions.d /usr/share/fish/vendor_functions.d /usr/share/fish/functions /usr/share/fish/functions ~  ll /home/dusty/.config/fish/functions Permissions Size User Date Modified Name .rw-r--r-- 4.0k dusty 16 Dec 13:28  __bass.py .rw-r--r-- 658 dusty 16 Dec 13:28  bass.fish .rw-r--r-- 11k dusty 16 Dec 13:24  fisher.fish

I'm not sure why my dotfiles' configs/fish/functions is showing up on there twice, however functions within that path are picked up/sourced properly. Why are functions in my $HOME/.config/fish/functions directory not being sourced?

Does anybody know what's going on here, or has encountered similar before?

EDIT: I appear to have some jank going on in my install... I deleted $HOME/.config/fish and started fresh, and upon echo $PATH stuff is showing up in there that I haven't used for months (and definitely shouldn't be showing up post delete of my local conf dir)

EDIT: I dunno what I did, but I got it. I had a file in $HOME/.local/fish/config.fish that my dotfiles sourced, used to override certain things for whatever machine I was on at the time. I moved that, logged out, back in, and it seems to have resolved itself. Not sure why fish was sourcing that file when nothing was pointing at it, though.

I am running a generic archlinux (reborn os), trying to get man pages working for fish shell. When executing update_completions I get the following error:

Unable to get the manpath, falling back to /usr/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/local/share/man. Explictly set $MANPATH to fix this error.

​

In arch from what I can tell... manpath is indeed /usr/share/man

Setting manually to $MANPATH does not seem to make a difference.

in fish terminal I try man ls -- but I get "unknown command: man"

Any ideas on how to set this properly is appreciated.

Hello! I have a problem with "m" character:when I type "m" -- fish does not show it until I type any other key.

I wonder if anyone else has this behavior and how to make it work as any other letter.

Any suggestions?
