Make translations of shared functions for fish #240

Closed spenserblack closed 11 months ago

spenserblack commented 11 months ago

The one thing I didn't translate was subshell_notice.sh. The way to accomplish changing the prompt would be to edit $HOME/.config/fish/fish_prompt.fish. There are multiple built-in prompts, and even the default is pretty complex, so it's not much of a simple copy-and-paste job. Seemed to me like it would be better to refer fish users to documentation than provide code to copy-and-paste for this one.

But a simple prompt would be like

function fish_prompt
    set --local suffix ">"
    set --query CLIFM; and set --local suffix "(clifm)$suffix"
    echo -n -s "$suffix"
end

Also, I changed file_picker to use $argv instead of passing a CLIFM_OPTIONS variable. I'm not really sure what the purpose was in the original script, but I'm guessing the intent was to allow somebody to pass additional CLI options with that variable? If so, using $argv is more idiomatic for fish IMO, since these functions "wrap" clifm.

One interesting thing about fish is that it reads from a $HOME/.config/fish/functions directory, which means installation is as simple as copying these files to that directory. That opens up the possibility of a script like install-extensions.fish to automatically copy these files.

Thanks for your work @spenserblack! I tested both scripts following your instructions and everything seems to work as expected.

Yes, CLIFM_OPTIONS is just a placeholder for default arguments. $@ could be added to add command line parameters (I guess it's the same as the C-like $argv in fish).

An install-extensions.fish script would definitely be nice.

One last thing: please add header information (description, usage, deps, author, license) to both fish functions, just to keep a consistent style among functions/plugins.

Btw, does fish provide some shellcheck-like function for fish scripts?

Weird, I could've sworn I responded to this yesterday :confused:

Sounds good :+1:

Sure :+1:

Closest I know of is fish -n/--no-execute, which, as the name implies, doesn't execute, just asserts that the syntax is valid.

Thanks @spenserblack!

Oh, whoops. Should've converted this PR to a draft 😅

No problem. Just create a new PR.
