#SMASH SNIPPET MANAGER FROM BASH!
#What is Smash Snippets? Smash stands for Snippets Manager from Bash. It transforms a keyword into its respective text previously recorded. Or, if there is no match for that keyword, Smash suggests to add a new one connecting the content from your clipboard (AKA ctrl-C) with the word where your text cursor is.
#How to Install Open terminal and paste each line of the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/matepaiva/smash-snippets.git
$ cd smash-snippets
$ bash install.sh
After this, you can go on and remove this folder.
$ cd ..
$ rm -R smash-snippets
#How to use To get the content from a keyword previously set, just write that word (ANYWHERE!!!) and press ",".
If the word has no candidate for snippet, a window confirmation will ask if you want to connect that word with your clipboard content.
Let's draw it:
Your snippets will be stored in a directory called "my-smash-snippets", just inside your user folder.
You also can change the Smash shortcut. In your system, visit: Keyboard > shortcuts > Custom shortcuts > Smash.
#Todo
- Till now, there is no soft way to delete nor update the snippets. But, as they are simple text files, you can go to the folder (~/my-smash-snippets) and to what you need to do.
- Create a beautifull way to see all the keywords and it's content from command line.
- Remove bugs: not sure why, but it appears to have a bug when you write the word and quickly shut the Smash shortcut.
