I think that fish should know what to expand, and what not. Just like
it should know what to complete and what not. Then, 'scp host:file* .'
will not expand, and maybe even
grep *file file.c
I don't think the right way to decide is whether or not it matches a
file.
Anyway, it is easy to add something like zsh's behaviour to fish. In
parser.c, just put the following:
case EXPAND_WILDCARD_NO_MATCH:
{
if( getenv("FISH_NOGLOB")) {
al_push( args, wcsdup(tok_last( tok ))) ;
/* should this be al_push( args, tok_last( tok ) ) ? */
} else {
unmatched_wildcard = 1;
if( !unmatched )
{
unmatched = halloc_wcsdup( j, tok_last( tok ));
unmatched_pos = tok_get_pos( tok );
}
}
break;
}
which checks the environment variable FISH_NOGLOB (needs to be set
before fish starts).
I started to figure out how to properly check a fish variable, when I
saw the
"Configurability is the root of all evil"
entry in fish's documentation. To which I kind of agree. So, I don't
think there is a right way to configure it. fish should just behave in
this way, or not...
