No, it is not. POSIX compliance is a non-goal. Perhaps in the future, someone would be able to write a native plugin to support shell scripting (which would be against it’s main goal, but ….)

Get notified of shell actions.
Hilbish features a simple notification system which can be
+used by other plugins and parts of the shell to notify the user
+of various actions. This is used via the hilbish.message interface.
A message is defined as a table with the following properties:
icon: A unicode/emoji icon for the notification.title: The title of the messagetext: Message text/bodychannel: The source of the message. This should be a
+unique and easily readable text identifier.summary: A short summary of the notification and message.
+If this is not present and you are using this to display messages,
+you should take part of the text instead.The hilbish.message interface provides the following functions:
send(message): Sends a message and emits the hilbish.notification
+signal. DO NOT emit the hilbish.notification signal directly, or
+the message will not be stored by the message handler.read(idx): Marks message at idx as read.delete(idx): Removes message at idx.readAll(): Marks all messages as read.clear(): Deletes all messages.There are a few simple use cases of this notification/messaging system. +It could also be used as some “inter-shell” messaging system (???) but +is intended to display to users.
An example is notifying users of completed jobs/commands ran in the background. +Any Hilbish-native command (think the upcoming Greenhouse pager) can display +it.

Customize the interactive script/command runner.
Hilbish allows you to change how interactive text can be interpreted. This is mainly due to the fact that the default method Hilbish uses is that it runs Lua first and then falls back to shell script.
In some cases, someone might want to switch to just shell script to avoid it while interactive but still have a Lua config, or go full Lua to use diff --git a/versions/pager/docs/getting-started/index.html b/versions/pager/docs/getting-started/index.html index 9471a18..3e07570 100644 --- a/versions/pager/docs/getting-started/index.html +++ b/versions/pager/docs/getting-started/index.html @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Setting as Default Login shell There are a few ways to make Hilbish your default Setting as Default Login shell There are a few ways to make Hilbish your default shell.

To start Hilbish, open a terminal. If Hilbish has been installed and is not the
default shell, you can simply run hilbish to start it. This will launch
a normal interactive session.
To exit, you can either run the exit command or hit Ctrl+D.
