Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Abbreviated aliasing would be a great feature to bring to shells Post 303038212 by Chubler_XL on Tuesday 27th of August 2019 10:21:50 PM

Have you had a look at bash completion scripts? These are quite powerful and configurable.

The simplest example with fixed list of arguments:

Code:
$ complete -W "cat dog" fuz
$ fuz <tab><tab>
cat     dog
$ fuz c<tab>

Another example if fuz takes directory as 1st parameter:
Code:
$compete -A directory fuz
$ fuz <tab><tab>
bin/  code/ perl/  photos/ proj/
$ fuz p<tab><tab>
perl/ photos/ proj/

There is also the ability to fully program the operation of the complete using a function which can be fully tailored to your needs.

Basically performing most of the tasks that Flickr's online man- agement tool Organizer does. NOTE
The first time you run DFO, the app won't know who you are or have access to your Flickr account, so all you will see is a window with sev- eral empty panes. To get started, select Connect from the File menu. DFO will open a link to the Flickr site in your default Web browser, where you must grant DFO authorization to connect to your Flickr account. This is a security precaution enforced by Flickr on all apps that use the Flickr API. FEATURES

Text search comments and their author names. * Post photos to blogs. * Easy Drag-n-drop photos from nautilus for uploading. * Image preview in file chooser dialog, shown when uploading photos. * Edit title, description, privacy and tags of photos set for uploading. * Allow reverting of edits done to photo.
