 Xandor Schiefer (Gitter) | Hey all, :wave: I'm running Fish 3.1.2 and I can't get proper Vi mode cursor behaviour in Tmux. I have the following in my config: fish_vi_cursor
set fish_cursor_default block
set fish_cursor_insert line
set fish_cursor_replace_one underscore
set fish_cursor_visual block
which works great when I'm not in Tmux. In Tmux the cursor just remains a block.
Interestingly, I have something similar set up for Readline (using config in .inputrc), where it works fine, e.g. if I switch to Bash.
What could be the problem? | 09:45:41 |
 Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | @zeorin In that case fish's detection doesn't think your terminal can do it, most likely because it's lacking a variable like $VTE_VERSION that shows a supporting terminal. Unfortunately even with tmux, we still need to care about the outer terminal. | 10:53:15 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | What is tmux running in? | 10:53:31 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | (in the next version you can set $fish_vi_force_cursor to force fish to do cursor switching when you know it works) | 10:53:57 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | In particular if your outer terminal is one we can only detect via $TERM like kitty, rxvt or alacritty there is literally no way for us to see you're using them once we're in tmux. | 10:54:41 |
| Xandor Schiefer (Gitter) | @faho I'm running suckless' Simple Terminal, st | 11:16:59 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | @zeorin Yep, only detectable via $TERM, not possible to figure out in tmux. | 11:58:16 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | (because tmux replaces $TERM with its own value) | 12:00:03 |

| Xandor Schiefer (Gitter) | That's a shame. What's the ETA on the next version? | 12:12:18 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | No ETA. | 12:18:16 |
 David Adam (Gitter) | soonish though | 12:26:41 |
 Filip Banák (Gitter) | If I make Tmux $TERM variable alacritty
Like the outer alacritty terminal has
Things seem to mostly work | 12:38:06 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | @Filip62_gitlab Don't. | 12:39:26 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | $TERM should accurately reflect whatever terminal you are running. For tmux that means something with screen or tmux. | 12:39:47 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | Anything else is asking for trouble. | 12:39:55 |
| Filip Banák (Gitter) | That makes sense. | 12:41:46 |
| Filip Banák (Gitter) | @faho You can detect alacritty only with $TERM? How do you detect other terminals, what if I set $VTE_VERSION manually? | 13:01:27 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | @Filip62_gitlab Please don't. | 13:15:55 |
| Filip Banák (Gitter) | I won't. You just made me curious. | 13:16:23 |
| Fabian Homborg (Gitter) | Leave your terminal settings as they are, if you need set $fish_vi_force_cursor once 3.2 is out. If you want to find out how the detection works read the source. | 13:16:25 |
| Filip Banák (Gitter) | Okay. | 13:16:39 |

| IlanCosman (Ilan Cosman) | Is there any way to make math view numbers as expressed in hexadecimal? i.e 80 would not be interpreted as 80 but as 128 | 17:56:52 |
| IlanCosman (Ilan Cosman) | Nvm, figured it out. Have to prepend the term with 0x | 18:00:06 |
|  faho (Fabian Homborg) joined the room. | 18:14:36 |
| faho (Fabian Homborg) | @IlanCosman math --base hex, to be released in 3.2 | 18:14:37 |
| faho (Fabian Homborg) | Oh, you mean as input? Yeah, that just needs a 0x | 18:14:57 |
