make a global FISH_DURATION variable

[Daniel Bretoi]

set -x FISH_DURATION $time_str

Then I use FISH_DURATION in my prompt instead.

I also disabled the echo as part of this timer, I think there should be a switch to do so.

maybe if set fish_command_timer_echo_disabled is set, it shouldn't echo

[Daniel Bretoi]

or maybe call it FISH_COMMAND_TIMER_STRING

dunno. the idea is the same ;)

Could you elaborate a bit more on what the variable would do?

You can already disable the script by unsetting fish_command_timer_enabled or setting it to 0. You can also customize the time string with fish_command_timer_time_format. Do you mean this variable would let you customize the command duration (e.g., '1m2s027')?

I want to use this variable in my regular fish_prompt.

[Daniel Bretoi]

my prompt prior to this command timer looked like this:

but I do really like the duration in there

Just implemented & merged this feature in #6 and #7. The command duration string is now exported as $CMD_DURATION_STR (following the naming of the builtin $CMD_DURATION variable in fish 2.3).

Now, you should be able to achieve the effect in the screenshots by setting fish_command_timer_enabled to 0, and using $CMD_DURATION_STR in the prompt.

Btw - the screenshots are sweet! I like your prompt.

[Daniel Bretoi]

works! Thanks :) only thing now is if I don't want to see the microseconds, it would be nice to format the duration to exclude that :)

Prompt is here:

function fish_prompt
  set_color blue
  echo -n [
  set_color cyan
  echo -n (whoami)
  set_color 3FF
  echo -n @
  set_color cyan
  echo -n (hostname|cut -d . -f 1)
  set_color blue
  echo -n ']-('
  set_color cyan
  echo -n (date +%T)
  set_color blue
  echo -n ')-('
  set_color cyan
  echo -n $CMD_DURATION_STR
  set_color blue
  echo ')'

  set_color blue
  echo -n [
  set_color cyan
  echo -n (prompt_pwd)
  set_color blue
  echo -n ]
  set_color green
  switch (id -u)
    case 0; set prompt_symbol '#'
    case '*';  set prompt_symbol '$'
  end
  echo -n "$prompt_symbol "
  set_color normal
end

How come you don't just uset $CMD_DURATION to do your calculations?

[Chuan Ji]

You can set fish_command_timer_millis to 0 to disable showing milliseconds, so it'd only print up to seconds :)

When I wrote the script, my computer at work had a really old version of fish and it didn't have $CMD_DURATION. But since this script is no longer compatible with pre-2.2 versions anyway, we might as well use $CMD_DURATION. Will open a new issue for this.
