Fish Interactive Shell full path

Question

Is there a way in the Fish Interactive shell for the full path to be displayed. Currently when I navigate to a directory I get the following shell.

millermj@Dodore ~/o/workspace

but I would rather see

millermj@Dodore ~/o-town/workspace

Answer 1

The prompt_pwd function determines the function to be displayed. You should be able to write your own version to get what you want.

Answer 2

Here's my version of prompt_pwd that should display what you're looking for:

function prompt_pwd --description 'Print the current working directory, NOT shortened to fit the prompt'
    if test "$PWD" != "$HOME"
        printf "%s" (echo $PWD|sed -e 's|/private||' -e "s|^$HOME|~|")
    else
        echo '~'
    end

end

This will display the tilde for the home directory, as usual, but removes the sed command that only pulls the first letter from each directory when you're a few directories deep.

To edit prompt_pwd use funced. It will allow you to interactively alter the function. From the command line type funced prompt_pwd. Once the prompt is displaying to your liking, use funcsave prompt_pwd to make the behavior persist in future sessions.
