fish 2.3.1, Arch Linux, urxvt 9.22
I am trying to write a widget to replace fish completion menu with fzf. (Awesome, right? ;) )
The idea is simple:
## Boilerplate...
complete -C | fzf... | read result
## Some code to replace the token with $result.
Problem is, complete -C unescapes the tokens a bit too much, which makes variables indistinguishable from escaped dollars.
Example:
set HFOO 42
echo \$HOME-$H<binding>
Replace <binding> with a binding to a function that prints out complete -C. Result:
The result is unusable since there is no way for the calling function to know what should be escaped.
The normal completion does preserve the escaped token though:
\$HOME-$HOME
\$HOME-$HFOO
I think complete -C should do the same.
This might be related to #1127.
