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.

Please join our Discord if you have any questions or suggestions.

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!

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!

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.

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 ❤️

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

Waiting!!

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

[TheOceanBreeze]

@mschrage Serious... Which shell are you using here?

[deathtrip]

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

[LeSnake04]

Great!

Also good to know Fig is written in rust :)

(The ide logs and tabs showed it)

[mtrin]

@grant0417 Keen to be alpha tester on WSL2 Debian (I presume it's a good test case), sent the form but didn't receive any confirmation but hopefully it worked :)

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

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

Auto-completion in ssh without fig is wonderful. If you can tell me the principle, I may try to develop one by myself. It is too painful to wait for you to develop it.

Me too 🎉😅

Add support for hyper terminal with fig

[LeSnake04]

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.

[Mahmoudgalalz]

how can I contribute to this Linux version

[StarNumber12046]

Is it usable as of now?

[MostHated]

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

Do you have any predictions for the release of fig for linux?

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 🤞).
