As my time with linux, I created a lot of scripts. Some of them have input parameters and sometimes I just forget this parameters.
So I wonder if there is some way to create autocomplete parameters, like i autocomplete a path by pressing the tab key?
For example a script. ./test.sh can be completed with parameter-one, eg. ./test.sh parameter-one or ./test.sh parameter-two. If i type now ./test.sh followed by tab it should add parameter-one if i press tab again it should change to parameter-two.
How can I do that? I’m on bash…
Espanso is probably the most useful software that nobody is using. I can’t live without it.
I hope it gets an update soon…
Its .YML formatting is really clunky. It feels like it takes up twice as much line space as .AHK (for example), which can do a lot of this kind of stuff in a single line. But I wanna go cross-platform and this is all I can find…
I like YAML, as long as you aren’t using complicated syntax. Using the
|operator will get you some flexible usage that’s mostly easy enough to read. YAML definitely has its problems though. If you want, I can share some snippets of my config.Sadly though, due to Espanso not having a working RPM build for Wayland (or a Flatpak, which they’re working on), it’s not quite as cross-platform as I want it to be. It won’t work on any of the cool uBlue-derived distros that I’ve gravitated toward, so I’m hoping we get a nice, big update this year.
Did you put in a request for this? And sure, I’m always interested in seeing how others use it—especially to complex levels.
It took me a while to get around to this so I could sanitize some of the highly-personal stuff there (mostly just a bunch of URLs because I don’t use browser bookmarks lol), but here’s a condensed version of what I like to use Espanso for.
The second half is …interesting. I wanted a way to autofill passwords from my password manager in any application, not just a browser. It’s a very homebrewed solution, and it only works on Windows and Linux because macOS blocks tools like Espanso from viewing or modifying login input fields.
For a Wayland Flatpak or RPM? I haven’t looked in a long time, but I believe there’s an open issue for a Wayland RPM.
Edit: Found them: Flatpak issue and RPM issue.
I wonder if SikuliX may be of interest to you, then. I just invoke KeePassXC’s built-in autotyper; it’s not too much more painful for me. Anyway, thanks for sharing! We certainly use it for very different things. Here’s a Reddit search URL generation script that I use sporadically:
- trigger: '`rs' replace: '{{output}}' vars: - name: form type: form params: layout: | [[subdomain]] Subreddit (optional): [[subreddit]] Query: [[query]] fields: subdomain: type: choice values: - www - old default: old - name: output type: script params: args: - python - -c - | if '{{form.subreddit}}': print(f'https://{{form.subdomain}}.reddit.com/r/{{form.subreddit}}/search?q={{form.query}}&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on') else: print(f'https://{{form.subdomain}}.reddit.com/search?q={{form.query}}&include_over_18=on')I wanna make a Lemmy equivalent of this, eventually…
Update: Okay, just did for my instance!
- trigger: "`lemmy" propagate_case: true replace: "https://programming.dev/search?q={{lemmy.query}}&type={{lemmy.search}}&listingType=All&page=1&sort={{lemmy.timeframe}}" vars: - name: "lemmy" type: form params: layout: | Query: [[query]] Filter: [[search]]Time Frame: [[timeframe]] fields: query: search: type: list values: - All - Comments - Communities - Posts - Users - URL default: All timeframe: type: list values: - TopWeek - TopMonth - TopThreeMonths - TopSixMonths - TopNineMonths - TopYear - TopAll default: TopAll
