Starting in fish 3.1.0, abbreviations no longer trigger with following semicolon

[lwolfsonkin]

I was running fish 3.0.x previously and just upgraded to fish 3.1.0. I use a slew of abbr abbreviations for all the hg subcommands, and I used to make a chain by typing e.g. the literal amend; and upload which would expand to hg amend; and hg upload and each of amend and upload respectively would expand once I typed a following space, enter, or semicolon (at least among probably others).

Unfortunately, in 3.1.0, it no longer triggers. Is this intended? If not, is there a way for me to get the old behavior as long as I'm on this version?

Thanks!

#5762 reduced the list of characters which expand abbreviations from " ;|&^><" to, by default, just space. Command execution always expands abbreviations under the cursor.

I think we probably want to put expansion back for all those other characters, though perhaps @faho can comment.

In the meantime, bind ';' self-insert expand-abbr should restore the behaviour you want - add it to your config.fish.

Yeah, it's probably fair to add the command terminators - ;, | and &.

I'm not sold on the redirection operators.

My thinking is that if it would normally terminate a command then it should expand an abbreviation, so I'll add those back in.
