Modularize user key bindings #5191

jorgebucaran · Sep 17, 2018

Would you consider making fish aware of a new keybindings directory inside $__fish_datadir, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, etc.?

Then, during startup, copy the user's fish_user_key_bindings function (if there is one) and create a new fish_user_key_bindings function that when invoked, will source every file in each keybindings/ directory in $__fish_datadir and XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

Basically this:

if functions -q fish_user_key_bindings
  functions -c fish_user_key_bindings __fish_user_key_bindings
end

function fish_user_key_bindings
  for file in ~/.config/fish/keybindings/*.fish
    source $file
  end
  if functions -q __fish_user_key_bindings
    __fish_user_key_bindings
  end
end

I can emulate this behavior using conf.d and distribute that script as a plugin, but it would be nice to have this out of the box.

In fisher v2.x (since I depend exclusively on fish autoloading feature) I go to great lengths to generate a fish_user_key_bindings function on the fly that concatenates the keybindings exported by each plugin with the user's key bindings defined inside their fish_user_key_bindings, but it's highly impractical (and buggy). In fisher v3.x I'll work around this more cleanly with a plugin as suggested above, but it would be nice if I didn't need to.

Oh-my-fish (here) and fundle (here) emulate this behavior through the user's config.fish using the same (or similar) technique described above.

I've actually been thinking about doing away with the need for fish_user_key_bindings entirely.

Really, the only reason that function is needed is because, when the user switches binding sets (e.g. from emacs to vi) we want to erase everything belonging to the old set. So what we do now is to erase everything and rerun that function.

What I've been thinking about is to add a "--default" or "--system" switch to bind. Any binding set would then always call bind --default, and the user wouldn't, so we could then just erase bindings defined with that switch (bind --erase --all --default).

So what fisher/omf/fundle would then do is simply call bind - I'm just not quite sure if with --default or not, yet.

@faho Do you mean that it would work similarly to complete?

So, with complete we can already complete -ec $funcname which makes uninstalling completions easy. Installing them is easy as well, just put them in the $fish_complete_path, and if you want them in the current shell, just source the $path/completions/$funcname.fish file.

Do you mean that it would work similarly to complete?

Not really, no. Just if you call bind, we keep that binding, even if you switch from vi to emacs or the other way around. In fish_vi_key_bindings and such we'd use bind --default, and we'd do bind --erase --all --default to clear all previously defined default bindings, but not bindings defined without --default.

If you do bind \t something-else, we still keep the default (bind --default \t complete) in the background, so if you then delete yours, that becomes active again.

I don't think we would need any special files to support this - you'd do bind statements in conf.d files as part of your setup.

@faho I don't think we would need any special files to support this - you'd do bind statements in conf.d files as part of your setup.

Wouldn't that run into the same problem of using bind in config.fish (you can't). 🤔

jorgebucaran · Sep 18, 2018

@faho ...you'd do bind statements in conf.d files as part of your setup.

I haven't run any benchmarks, but I suspect this wouldn't be scalable as it would force every script that wants to add its own bindings to copy any existing fish_user_key_bindings.

echo "...initializing my script"

if functions -q fish_user_key_bindings
    functions --copy fish_user_key_bindings _my_script_fish_user_key_bindings
end

function fish_user_key_bindings
    bind ...
    bind ...
    bind ...

    if functions -q _my_script_fish_user_key_bindings
        _my_script_fish_user_key_bindings
    end
end

If I have 10 my_script-like files in conf.d, because that's the point of this issue—to be able to modularize key bindings—then the most recently defined fish_user_key_bindings function would be copied over 10 times.

A more sensible approach would be to copy the function only once and source a bunch of files with the bind statements as described above.

Now, perhaps I still don't understand what "doing away with the need for fish_user_key_bindings entirely" means. Do you mean removing this feature?

That would be a breaking change, and IMO, a less optimal plan of action, as it would force plugin manager authors to go to great lengths if they intend to support at least fish >=2.3, as I intend to do.

jorgebucaran · Sep 18, 2018

I used fish -p to measure the startup time impact of 4 plugins that set key bindings using the copy method through conf.d versus using the approach I suggested of a single conf.d script that copies fish_user_key_bindings once and the results indicate that my suggestion is actually slower.

I suspect that my suggestion is slower because of the fact the conf.d script iterates over each file in the proposed keybindings directory and then sources them. This touches the filesystem, whereas copying fish_user_key_bindings N times over (once per plugin) doesn't.

Taking into account this and the drawback of introducing a new feature (feature bloat) I have mixed feelings about this feature request now. The obvious win of this feature is that it makes it very easy to define key bindings on a per-plugin basis, but the alternative doesn't make it impossible, just a bit more difficult. I am leaning towards the slightly more difficult process, in exchange for a simpler plugin architecture and less nosey shell (existing behavior).

Now, perhaps I still don't understand what "doing away with the need for fish_user_key_bindings entirely" means.

Correct.

Do you mean removing this feature?

What I mean, in short, is this: Making bind statements in config.fish work.

Wouldn't that run into the same problem of using bind in config.fish (you can't). thinking

Ever wondered why that is?

It's because we only set up your bindings after config.fish has run (via a function triggered --on-event fish_prompt), because your config.fish might contain changes to $fish_key_bindings. So we run the binding function which, as we've established, erases all bindings to get back to a clean slate [0], and that kills any bindings you've set up previously. Then we run fish_user_key_bindings.

What I want is to erase all bindings that have been set up as part of a binding set (which won't include any bindings you've set up previously). Then we can still run fish_user_key_bindings for backwards-compatibility and nice grouping. It just won't be necessary anymore.

Which means:

this wouldn't be scalable as it would force every script that wants to add its own bindings to copy any existing fish_user_key_bindings.

You wouldn't have to! You'd just do bind in your script.

And also:

That would be a breaking change

It wouldn't, because we'd still run fish_user_key_bindings. Only if you had bind statements in config.fish, they'd suddenly start to work!

[0]: Of course we could also stop erasing all bindings the first time the bindings are set up. That would make bind calls in config.fish work, unless you switched bindings later. Which is a bit dirty.

@faho Making bind statements in config.fish work.

Yes, please, this would be amazing. Plugins that export key bindings would become easier to make, install and uninstall without much meddling from the plugin manager too.
