Ups, sorry for the pasted "rubbish" didn't see it when posting from the iPad app. Will try to remove it when back on a computer.

It looks like there was a lot of discussion already over here

No. In this questions there is a lack of feedback but it's core question.

Lack of feedback? Both issue #3924 and PR #3926 are mere 2.5 days old and have received comments since. Give things some time, @anki-code. Not all of us contribute to Xonsh 24/7.

@das-g Thanks for your attention! It's appreciated. I know. But I see by another issues past year that activity is very low.

But the bigger the effects of the change, like with subprocess syntax, the more people are going to need to weigh in on the pros/cons and the more forethought will need to be put into it.

And because the change is very closer to core I mentioned contributors. Sad but xonsh hasn't another ways. No social network publics or something like this.

Raphael Das Gupta

@das-g

Well, that's why it was suggested to set up a Xonsh enhencement proposal (XEP) process. Part of that would have to be on how to get the attention of the relevant stakeholders.

anki-code

@anki-code

Anthony writes short answers and many of them are not clear and sometimes he doesn't clearly understand the question or code because he has lack of time. I understand and appreciate his time and I try to ask xore feedback but hear silence in most cases. I'm not in hurry I'm just try to open contructive dialogue.
In case of XEP there are no links about what is it and what I should to do. Google shows nothing.

Raphael Das Gupta

@das-g

Sorry, that was maybe unclear: The Xonsh community doesn't yet have a defined process on how to handle enhancement proposals. (At all, so not just related to your proposal.) It though seems like such a process would be needed, so the fist step would be to define such a process.

Once that process has been defined, your proposal could be handled according to it.

anki-code

@anki-code

Got it, thanks! We're working hard to make complete description in #3924. It's not the XEP process description it's a complete subproc substitution approaches overview. If anyone know enogh how to build XEP process this should be described in distinct issue and will be great.

:newspaper: After a month of waiting and approving, xonsh was added to awesome-python list - the second "awesome" list by count of stars in "awesome" community. Thanks to all who put the like and support the pull request! :tada:

I'm back on xonsh keybindings via prompt-toolkit: I looking for keybindings like Right Key for accepting the suggestion from the history when you start typing. Where is that in the source code? (I looked for @bindings.add, but couldn't find it.)

@halloleo

So the Autosuggestion key binding is set in ptk? Alright. But where are all these shortcuts then documented? Somehow couldn't find it in the ptk readthedocs ...

And I don't mean the list of possible keys but the actual keys used (like Right for accept autosuggest, C-e fir end of line, etc, etc).

David Strobach

@laloch

Yeah, the PTK docs are not that comprehensive in this respect. Just read the source :wink:

halloleo

@halloleo

@laloch Fair enough.

The PTK docs talk about vi and emacs bindings. Which ones are choosen for xonsh? For me C-e goes to the end of the line which matches what Emacs does, so I guess xonsh uses Emacs style, right?

Anthony Scopatz

@scopatz

There is a $VI_MODE env var that lets you switch between them, IIRC

halloleo

@halloleo

Thanks. Just found in ptk that C-e in autosuggest mode does the same as Right key. Handy. Even better ESC-f does partial autosuggest completion! :-)

@halloleo

When using prompt-toolkit, how can I select a filename completion without executing it? let's say I have a dir with two file file1.txt and file2.txt.

I type ls file hit tab and get a list with file1.txt and file2.txt. With the cursor keys I can select one. Now when I confirm the selection with enter it completes as I want, but executes the statement as well. How can I just confirm without executing, so that I can type more stuff in that line?

how do i force manjaro nibia (20.2) to use xonsh? i installed it with pacman and then pip

and chshed it

but logging out and back in did not do anything

CaféHaine

@cafehaine

maybe your terminal is overriding your preferred shell ? is xonsh used in a tty ?

Ganesha Sharma

@Ganesha2282882

it's used in manjaro kde with Konsole and CoolRetroTerm

i wanted to see what happens to uninstall bash but it pacman showed a bunch of package errors
so i did not

to kinda force it to use xonsh

David Strobach

@laloch

@Ganesha2282882 in order for chsh to work, the desired shell must listed in /etc/shells.

CaféHaine

@cafehaine

if @Ganesha2282882 installed it with pacman it would be listed in /etc/shells

otherwise it's needed to add it manually yes

Ganesha Sharma

@Ganesha2282882

yeah, it's in there, here's my etc shells:

# Pathnames of valid login shells.
# See shells(5) for details.

/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/zsh
/usr/bin/git-shell
/bin/xonsh

CaféHaine

@cafehaine

did you add it manually ? I'm pretty sure the default path is /usr/bin/xonsh

well, /bin is symlinked to /usr/bin/ in arch, but still

David Strobach

@laloch

This is how the package installs: grep -x /usr/bin/xonsh /etc/shells >/dev/null || echo /usr/bin/xonsh >> /etc/shells
So yeah, it should not be the problem.

Ganesha Sharma

@Ganesha2282882

i don't think so.

find: ‘/run/user/1000/doc’: Permission denied
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied
/usr/bin/xonsh-cat
/usr/bin/xonsh
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/xonsh-0.9.24-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

from command:
sudo find / | grep xonsh --color=none | grep -v /root | grep -v /usr/lib | grep -v /home

so, it might actually be in /usr
but chsh said it's not in /etc/shells. It did not put a No such file or directory error.

Ganesha Sharma

@Ganesha2282882

i modified my shell and /etc/shells, power cycled 1 time, and it actually booted to Xonsh

*in Konsole
