Can anyone tell me how to make fzf refresh or reload right after a key binding command completes? So you would only press one key binding, not press the desired key binding and then another to reload.
#Linux#CLI users! I'm curious how many of us are using "modern", "enhanced", "reimagined" versions of classic command-line tools. Think bat instead of cat, rg instead of grep, exa instead of ls.
If you don't use them, why? Is the installation overhead too much, e.g. because you're using a lot of machines? Does your brain need to stay compatible with the standard tools for some reason?
Feel free to write a reply, the poll can't possibly cover everything :)
It’s bloody 2024, think we can agree on either wget or curl being installed by default on every freaking operating system by now so shell scripts can have a guaranteed way of carrying out http requests?
I mean it’s been about 35 years. I think it’s about time.
Default #Lynx install colors seems to have a lot of white/gray text on light blue background. This combo has too little contrast. I cannot see what it is telling me. 😮 #CLI
WARP is a new Closed-source Terminal written in Rust with AI built in, and it functions a lot like an IDE, rather than a traditional terminal.
The link above contains a really impressive demo video. The features are too numerous to list here, I highly suggest you click through and read the article at OMGUbuntu and watch the video.
in bash to read bash-formatted variable assignments into the current environment. In other words, the dot ("source") command supports reading from process substitution.
some_command | . /dev/stdin
on the other hand does not work, I guess because it's running in a subshell…?
Replace some_command with something like echo foo=bar if you don't quite understand what I mean.
Who thought it was a good idea to let #vdirsyncer print "uploading item [id] to [name of local calendar]" when it's actually simply inserting some event from the remote side to the local one?
Imagine my anxiety when I tried to make extra sure (with read_only=true etc.) that it does NOT modify my Google Calendar while I'm setting everything up, only to then read hundreds of "uploading" messages?
(It simply always says "uploading", no matter what the destination is.)
After #GUI, I've now pushed implementation of a #TUI output in #Libervia#CLI frontend, which shows A/V call video streams directly into your terminal! It's using #Kitty or #iTerm2 image protocols, or #Unicode half-blocks (thanks to #termimage)
I'm not aware of any other CLI tools doing something similar (#XMPP or not). It's not as useful as GUI, but it's quite fun :)
If you're on a Mac and have never used pbpaste and pbcopy on the CLI, you're missing out. I love taking the contents of my paste buffer and running sed on it to get the output I want: pbpaste| sed -e s/:/-/g #macOS#CLI
Numbat (https://numbat.dev/) is a calculator thing that understands units. They recently added some date and time support, which I'm hoping will satisfy my need for easy to use date math. #Rust#cli
This cli tool might be really good for others, like me, who are new to Linux. I love it.
"eg" outputs examples of common commands you query. I tried out "eg touch" in the left panel and this is what came out. Bit more info in the right panel.
You can install it with pip ("sudo apt install pip" then "pip install eg").
