The `zsh -f` running in the PTY doesn't know about the non-exported
variables and functions defined in the original shell, thus can't make
suggestions for them. Run local functions in the PTY instead of a new
`zsh` process.
We have to handle things differently based on whether zle is active or
not (async vs. sync mode).
For unknown reasons, the pty will occasionally quit running. In these
cases, we still want to remove it so that a fresh one can be created. We
don't actually need this check because error messages from `zle` and
`zpty` are redirected to /dev/null.
One sure way to kill all currently running pty's is to run `exit` in a
subshell. Even without zsh-autosuggestions loaded, the following works:
% zmodload zsh/zpty
% zpty -b foo cat
% zpty -b bar cat
% zpty
(31689) bar: cat
(31666) foo: cat
% $(exit)
% zpty
(finished) bar: cat
(finished) foo: cat
Specific case where this matters is following:
Be in vi insert mode with some text in the buffer and the cursor at the
end of the buffer. Press `esc` to trigger `vi-cmd-mode widget`, then
before the cursor moves (KEYTIMEOUT), press `h` to trigger
`vi-backward-char` widget. When `vi-cmd-mode` original widget exits,
KEYS_QUEUED_COUNT will be non-zero and the suggestion will be lost.
These widgets rely on `$LASTWIDGET` being set to restore the cursor
position. When asynchronous suggestions are enabled, and the widget
triggers a suggestion to be fetched, `autosuggest-suggest` will be
called and $LASTWIDGET will be set to it.
`_zsh_autosuggest_widget_accept()` (&al.) passes this function's return status
on, and ZLE rings the bell if it's >0. Not having an original widget isn't an
error condition, so always returning 0 here should be OK to avoid the bell
Fixes#228
This fixes a small issue in src/widgets.zsh which makes it so if you
alias [ to g[ (as is done in prezto if the gnu-utility module is loaded)
autosuggestions would fail.
The documentation for GNU test mentions that -o and -a should be avoided
if possible because it's not very clear. Also, with zsh and [[ -o
actually tests if an option is set, which makes this option even more
confusing.
