#+TITLE: Fish #+setupfile: headers #+PROPERTY: header-args:fish :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.config/fish/config.fish :exports code :noweb yes #+PROPERTY: header-args :exports code :tangle no * Fish The file present in =~/.config/fish/config.fish= is the configuration file for the [[https://fishshell.com/][fish shell]]. It contains custom functions, environment variables and abbreviations. Just in case, we might sometimes need to declare the fish function =fish_title= as =true=, so let’s do so. #+BEGIN_SRC fish function fish_title true end #+END_SRC ** Fish from within Emacs I sometimes call fish from within Emacs, with =M-x ansi-term=. In this case, the variable =TERM= needs to have the value =eterm-color=. #+BEGIN_SRC fish if test -n "$EMACS" set -x TERM eterm-color end #+END_SRC ** Global variables An important thing to do is to load all variables from my =~/.profile= file (which you can find [[https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/dotfiles/src/branch/master/.profile][here]]). The [[https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-foreign-env][foreign-env]] plugin comes in handy: #+begin_src fish fenv source ~/.profile #+end_src [[https://direnv.net/][Direnv]] is a really neat tool that allows you to load the content of a dotenv file as environment variables. Its installation is quite simple for fish. #+begin_src fish direnv hook fish | source #+end_src I also use [[https://github.com/elkowar/eww/][eww]] for some widgets, let’s load its shell completions. #+begin_src fish eww shell-completions --shell fish | source #+end_src The [[https://crates.io/crates/sqlx][sqlx]] CLI is a requirement for my Rust projects using this crate. The code below integrates its completions in Fish. #+begin_src fish sqlx completions fish | source #+end_src Since I don’t really have a better place on this website to put it, here is my direnv configuration located at =$HOME/.config/direnv/direnv.toml=. #+begin_src toml :tangle ~/.config/direnv/direnv.toml :mkdirp yes :exports code [global] load_dotenv = true #+end_src *** Development Finally, some development packages require the =PKG_CONFIG_PATH= to be set, so let’s do so. #+BEGIN_SRC fish set -gx PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ $PKG_CONFIG_PATH #+END_SRC ** Tramp remote access When accessing from a remote machine our computer from Emacs, tramp needs a precise shell appearance: a simple =$= followed by a space after which to put the commands it needs to execute, and nothing else. Due to this, let’s deactivate and redefine some functions defining the appearance of fish. #+BEGIN_SRC fish if test "$TERM" = "dumb" function fish_prompt echo "\$ " end function fish_right_prompt; end function fish_greeting; end function fish_title; end end #+END_SRC ** Regular fish shell appearance Now, there is only one function I modify when it comes to the appearance of fish when I’m the one using it: the ~fish_greeting~ function. I just want it empty. #+BEGIN_SRC fish function fish_greeting; end #+END_SRC For my fish prompt, I use [[https://starship.rs][starship]], a shell-agnostic prompt. Let’s load it: #+begin_src fish function starship_transient_prompt_func starship module character end starship init fish | source enable_transience #+end_src ** Setting up external tools *** Starship configuration :PROPERTIES: :header-args:toml: :tangle ~/.config/starship.toml :END: As mentioned above, starship is a shell-agnostic prompt, written in Rust and which can be configured separately from the shell. I decided to configure it here though, since fish is the only shell I use which is compatible with starship. First I’ll modify the default format variable, removing the modules I don’t need. #+begin_src toml format = """ $username\ $hostname\ $shlvl\ $singularity\ $kubernetes\ $directory\ $vcsh\ $git_branch\ $git_commit\ $git_state\ $git_metrics\ $git_status\ $hg_branch\ $docker_context\ $package\ $cmake\ $dart\ $deno\ $lua\ $nodejs\ $python\ $rlang\ $rust\ $scala\ $zig\ $nix_shell\ $direnv\ $memory_usage\ $env_var\ $custom\ $cmd_duration\ $line_break\ $jobs\ $battery\ $time\ $status\ $shell\ $character""" #+end_src I want starship to be able to detect Lisp files, be it CommonLisp or EmacsLisp. Unfortunately, it seems nerd-font doesn’t have any symbol for either language, so I’m just using a lambda character. #+begin_src toml [custom.lisp] extensions = ["lisp", "el"] symbol = "λ " style = "bold green" #+end_src Some module configurations don’t exactly sit right with me, so let’s tweak them a bit. #+begin_src toml [nix_shell] format = '[$symbol$state( \($name\))]($style)' symbol = '❄️ ' [shlvl] disabled = false threshold = 3 [direnv] disabled = false detect_files = ['.envrc', '.env'] symbol = ' ' #+end_src Finally, let’s disable all modules I don’t need. #+begin_src toml [cobol] disable = true [dotnet] disable = true [elixir] disable = true [elm] disable = true [erlang] disable = true [golang] disable = true [helm] disable = true [java] disable = true [julia] disable = true [kotlin] disable = true [nim] disable = true [ocaml] disable = true [perl] disable = true [php] disable = true [pulumi] disable = true [purescript] disable = true [red] disable = true [ruby] disable = true [swift] disable = true [terraform] disable = true [vlang] disable = true [vagrant] disable = true [conda] disable = true [aws] disable = true [gcloud] disable = true [openstack] disable = true [crystal] disable = true #+end_src *** Loading =zoxide= =zoxide= is a smarter =cd= command. I actually have it replace =cd= entirely through the =--cmd= flag you see below.. #+begin_src fish zoxide init --cmd cd fish | source #+end_src ** Abbreviations #+NAME: generate-abbr #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var table=[] :exports none :tangle no (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\vert[{}]*" "|" (mapconcat (lambda (x) (format "abbr %s '%s'" (car x) (cadr x))) table "\n") t t) #+END_SRC Abbreviations are a great way to keep correctly track of which commands are run in the shell without polluting the history of the shell with obscure commands. When typing an abbreviation, fish will replace it with replace it with its expanded equivalent. Below are some of the abbreviations I use. Be aware some of them that invoke GUI programs can be invoked through ~devour~ which will make the terminal disappear while the program runs, and once the GUI program exists the terminal window will come back. *** System monitoring Here I have some abbreviations which are quite useful when performing some system monitoring. With =df=, we can get an overview of our filesystem usage, while with =diskspace= we get some more precise information. =meminfo= is a call to =free= with sane defaults, and similar to =meminfo=, we also have =gpumeminfo= to get a quick look at the memory-related logs of our X session. I also declared =cpuinfo= an alias of =lscpu= in order to keep consistent with =meminfo=. =pscpu= gives us information on what the CPU is running right now, and =pscpu10= limits that to the top 10 threads. Similarly, =psmem= gives us information on the memory usage of the current threads, and =psmem10= only the ten most important threads in terms of memory usage. #+NAME: mgmt-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+--------------------------------------------| | df | df -H | | diskspace | sudo df -h \vert grep -E "sd\vert{}lv\vert{}Size" | | du | du -ch | | meminfo | free -m -l -t | | gpumeminfo | grep -i --color memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log | | cpuinfo | lscpu | | pscpu | ps auxf \vert sort -nr -k 3 | | pscpu10 | ps auxf \vert sort -nr -k 3 \vert head -10 | | psmem | ps auxf \vert sort -nr -k 4 | | psmem10 | ps auxf \vert sort -nr -k 4 \vert head -10 | #+begin_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC *** System management (packages and services) I added some of these abbreviations due to how often I have to write the whole thing. **** Package management The first command is =remove= which removes a package from my system, as well as its dependencies no longer needed. =p=. =pacman='s or =paru='s. This is why I simply type =purge=. And if I want to simply search among the =pacman= repos, I can type =search=. Otherwise, if I want to include AUR results, I’ll use =paru=. #+NAME: pm-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+------------------| | remove | sudo pacman -Rsc | | purge | paru -Sc | #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC **** Service management I don’t have the muscle memory of =systemctl=. So instead, I simply type =c= when I want to do something user service related. And if I want to manipulate system services, I can instead type a simple capital =S=. #+NAME: service-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+------------------| | s | systemctl | | suser | systemctl --user | #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC *** Development A good amount of these commands are development related, especially when it comes to compilation or Docker. **** CMake I have the following abbreviations to quickly run CMake and create a configuration for debug or release profiles. #+NAME: abbr-cmake | abbreviation | command | |--------------+----------------------------------| | cdebug | cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug | | crelease | cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC **** Docker And of course, when it comes to Docker Compose, I don't have time to write the full command, so I use these instead. #+NAME: abbr-docker | abbreviation | command | |--------------+------------------------------| | dc | docker-compose | | dcb | docker-compose build | | dcd | docker-compose down | | dcl | docker-compose logs | | dclf | docker-compose logs -f | | dcp | docker-compose pull | | dcr | docker-compose run --rm | | dcu | docker-compose up | | dcub | docker-compose up --build | | dcud | docker-compose up -d | | dcudb | docker-compose up -d --build | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC **** Text editors I greatly prefer to use Emacsclient as my main text editor; Emacs has basically all I need. So, it's only normal I have an abbreviation to launch a new instance of it. If launched in the terminal, I’ll usually want Emacs to be displayed in CLI mode and not in GUI mode, otherwise I would invoke it with my WM’s shortcut. In case we want to launch Emacs in GUI mode anyway, ~egui~ is available too. #+NAME: abbr-text-ed | abbreviation | command | |--------------+-----------------------| | e | emacsclient -c -n | | egui | devour emacsclient -c | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish :noweb yes <> #+END_SRC **** Compilation By default, I set ~clang~, ~clang++~, ~gcc~ and ~g++~ to the latest standard and with the ~-Wall~ flag activated. #+NAME: abbr-comp | abbreviation | command | |--------------+----------------------| | clang | clang -Wall | | clang++ | clang++ -Wall | | g++ | g++ -Wall -std=c++20 | | gcc | gcc -Wall -std=c18 | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC **** Git And let's face it: we all at one point just wanted to commit our code without thinking about the message, to just get over with it. Don't worry, I got you covered. #+NAME: abbr-git | abbreviation | command | |--------------+-----------------------------------------------------| | randcommit | git commit -m (curl -s whatthecommit.com/index.txt) | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC *** LaTeX Yes, although I use org-mode, I still have some use for LaTeX, especially when it comes to PDF exports of my org files. Hence, why I use the LaTeX package manager. It is recommended to use ~tllocalmgr~ instead of ~tlmgr~, but I can never remember the command, and the latter is faster to type, so time for an abbreviation. Same goes for ~texhash~ which must be run as sudo. #+NAME: latex-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+--------------| | tlmgr | tllocalmgr | | texhash | sudo texhash | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC *** Some security measures Some commands can be quite dangerous when not used properly, which is why I added default flags and options in order to get warnings before things get ugly. The =-i= and =-I= add prompts in case we might not want to do what we asked the shell to do. Notice =lns= which creates symlinks, =rmd= which removes directories, =rmf= which forces deletion, and =rmdf= which forces the delition of a directory. Notice also the =--preserve-root= which will prevent me from accidentally removing the root folder. I added the same option to =chgrp=, =chmod=, and =chown=. #+NAME: sec-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+--------------------------| | cp | cp -i | | rsync | rsync -Pa --progress | | ln | ln -i | | lns | ln -si | | mv | mv -i | | rm | rm -Iv | | rmd | rm --preserve-root -Irv | | rmdf | rm --preserve-root -Irfv | | rmf | rm --preserve-root -Ifv | | chgrp | chgrp --preserve-root -v | | chmod | chmod --preserve-root -v | | chown | chown --preserve-root -v | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC *** Typos Let's admit it, we all make typos from time to time in the shell, and some are recurrent enough we make abbreviations or aliases of the correct command. Well, I have some of my abbreviations which were make exactly because of this. Sometimes for some reason, my brain makes me write ~clean~ instead of ~clear~. So, let's just replace the former by the latter. I'm also very bad at typing ~exit~. And sometimes I suck at typing ~htop~. #+NAME: typo-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+---------| | clean | clear | | exi | exit | | exti | exit | | hotp | htop | Here is the corresponding fish configuration: #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC *** Misc Finally, some miscellaneous abbreviations that don't really fit into any of the above categories. **** Media Here you will find various commands related to media in general. The first one is a command to play some chillhop from the [[https://www.youtube.com/@LofiGirl][Lofi Girl YouTube channel]]'s livestream. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr chill 'mpv --force-window=no --no-video "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKfPfyJRdk" &' #+END_SRC When it comes to MPV, I do not want to force it to open a graphical window if for example I want to listen to an audio file. I also do not want any border on that window. So, I declared this abbreviation. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr mpv 'mpv --no-border --force-window=no' #+END_SRC When I want to download a song from YouTube, I'll just use the command ~flac videoIdentifier~ to get it through ~youtube-dl~. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr flac 'youtube-dl -x --audio-format flac --audio-quality 0 -o "~/Music/%(uploader)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s"' #+END_SRC Some sane default options for [[https://github.com/nsxiv/nsxiv][~nsxiv~]]. This includes playing GIFs and not displaying the filename below. Nsxiv will also open in full-screen and will fit the displayed image to the frame. It will also output to stdout the selected files in case I want to pipe them to another program. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr nsxiv 'nsxiv -abfos f' #+END_SRC The following abbreviation is here to launch software with my Nvidia GPU. #+begin_src fish abbr nv 'env __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia' #+end_src Finally, let's declare the following abbreviation that will launch an MPV instance displaying my webcam: #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr webcam 'devour mpv --demuxer-lavf-format=video4linux2 --demuxer-lavf-o-set=input_format=mjpeg av://v4l2:/dev/video0 --profile=low-latency --untimed' #+END_SRC **** Sudo First, I make it so that ~sudo~ comes with the ~-A~ switch in order to call my custom graphical script for getting my password (see [[file:bin.org::#Askpass-d0d7a8c0][askpass]]). I also made it so ~please~ is an equivalent to ~sudo -A~ as a joke. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr please 'sudo -A' #+END_SRC **** History I find it more intuitive and faster to just write ~hist~ instead of ~history~, so let's declare that. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr hist history #+END_SRC **** Compression It seems it's just like many other people, but I cannot for the life of me remember the syntax of ~tar~. So, I made the following abbreviations, and one day hopefully, after seeing the abbreviations' expansion over and over I'll remember the command like I did for the abbreviation of ~remove~ (see [[file:./fish.md#package-management][Package management]]). #+NAME: tar-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+-----------| | compress | tar -czf | | untar | tar -xvzf | #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC **** exa #+NAME: eza-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+--------------------------------------------| | eza | eza -halg@ --group-directories-first --git | | lsl | eza -halg@ --group-directories-first --git | #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC **** Network Management First, we have just =nmcli= with sane default options, that is a pretty output with colours. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr nmcli 'nmcli -p -c auto' #+END_SRC **** NordVPN Next, we have some NordVPN-related shortcuts. The first one is a simple abbreviation to =nordvpn=. The second one is a shortcut to connect to a server, and to disconnect from the current server. I also have a couple of shortcuts to quickly connect to some preselected countries, mainly France, Germany, Japan and the US. #+NAME: nordvpn-abbr | abbreviation | command | |--------------+-------------------------| | n | nordvpn | | nc | nordvpn c | | nd | nordvpn d | | ncf | nordvpn c France | | ncg | nordvpn c Germany | | ncj | nordvpn c Japan | | ncu | nordvpn c United_States | #+BEGIN_SRC fish <> #+END_SRC **** Wget By default, continue a download that was interrupted. #+BEGIN_SRC fish abbr wget 'wget --hsts-file="$XDG_DATA_HOME/wget-hsts" -c' #+END_SRC ** Last thing before we’re done For some reason, Fish began searching for packages when I enter a command name wrong. For instance, if I type ~vim~, I get something like this: #+BEGIN_SRC text :tangle no $ vim fish: Unknown command: vim usr/bin/vim is owned by extra/gvim 8.2.2653-1 usr/bin/vim is owned by extra/vim 8.2.2653-1 #+END_SRC But I don’t want that, it slows down my shell. So, in order to fix that, we need the following lines: #+BEGIN_SRC fish function fish_command_not_found __fish_default_command_not_found_handler $argv end #+END_SRC Ta-dah! No more package suggestions from fish! I also have some private abbreviations I don’t want people to know about that I store in a separate configuration file. #+begin_src fish source $HOME/.config/fish/private.fish #+end_src
