Shortcuts

I've added many folder-specific shortcuts; refer to rc.conf for the specifics, but here's the idea. There are for "verbs:"

  • g -- "go or cd"
  • t -- "new tab"
  • m -- "move file"
  • Y -- "yank or copy file"

These "verbs" take "nouns" or "arguments," like these:

  • d -- "~/Documents"
  • D -- "~/Downloads"
  • cf -- "~/.config"
  • And many others, including those you add!

Press any "verb" followed by any "argument" to perform a folder operation. "gd" will cd to ~/Documents, for example. "mD" will move the selected file(s) to ~/Downloads. "tcf" will create a new tab in ~/.config, etc. etc.

Many little things!

(Some of this has been changed or depreciated. I'll update soon.)

  • bg -- (for i3 users) makes an image your background (assuming i3 is looking at ~/.config/wall.png for your background)
  • X -- Extract a zip/rar/tar.gz, whatever. Runs a script that picks the right command for the right archive.
  • Z -- zips a folder up into a .tar.gz archive.
