Integrate Fig with Linux

[brendanfalk]

Fig currently works on macOS only. We will build a port that integrates with Linux soon.

Please subscribe to this issue to get an update when Fig's autocomplete integration with the Linux is ready 😄

@YU5Z8X2CvH1fv4ep And probably more months will pass. They're rewriting the entire Fig core from Swift to Rust, give them time.

[deathtrip]

Swift also supports linux, so what's wrong with it? Or are the devs just following the trend of rewriting everything in rust?

Congrats on the work done so far! I had a chance to play with Fig on OSX, and it was wonderful. Looking forward to your Linux release whenever you are ready ❤️

I know the original post said "Soon"(TM), but is there any chance that we might see some news on this in the near future?

[Alonely0]

I've been proposing some implementation ideas for other OSes which actually solve a lot of fig's bugs and implementation problems in the discord. Check the thread i created on #cross-platform there

2022 is here now, what is the status of this issue please?

We are prioritising Linux and the Fig.js API after launching our next product in mid Feb. So aiming for an early April launch date. Stay tuned!

That's some really awesome news! I hope you can show some proptotype or at least blog about it pretty soon

Some exciting progress to share!

We've located the caret position, can determine what text has been typed, and got IPC working on Linux. 🥳 There is still lots to do, but some of the key technical challenges have been solved!

Great!

Also good to know Fig is written in rust :)

(The ide logs and tabs showed it)

Waiting!!

If you're eager for the app, you can give them a thumbs up or some other similar gesture.

If you're expressing impatience, it's best not to say so.

Can it be run in any terminal or does it have to be integrated in each terminal application?

If it has to be integrated in the terminal there should be

• docs how to write unofficial integrations for terminal applications so the countless people making terminals for linux can integrate fig themselve
• official integration in the 2 most used terminals: Konsole (Default KDE terminal) and Gnome terminal.

@mschrage Could you lock this issue? There are a lot of people subscribed to this who only want to be notified on actual updates.

Another milestone to share: we've got the user interface for the autocomplete engine up and running!

The team is making really good progress! We may have some early prototypes ready in the next couple of weeks (assuming everything goes according to plan 🤞).

Fig (basically) working on Fedora using the Gnome desktop environment! 🥳

Fig will be compatible with any terminal on Linux that supports ibus. More details to come soon.
