Shelf is a simple ZSH utility which can be used to bookmark and access directly any file using mnemonics.
Just source shelf.zsh
source /path/to/shelf.zshand include _shelf in your $fpath.
Here it this:
ecmma/shelf
You should know where it goes! In case you don't, refer to getantibody or your preferred plugin manager documentation.
usage: shelf [command] <?arg(s)>
remove <id> Remove a previously added mark
open <id> Open a previously added mark
add <id> <file> Add a new mark with <id> to <file>
list List all marks
Mark your file with shelf:
shelf add myfile /long/path/to/file.pdfYour file will be saved and you'll be able to open it using shelf from anywhere:
shelf open myfile For Linux-based distros, a resource opener such as xdg-open
or mimeo is required (well, to open the file!)
For macOS, the open command should be enough.
