template?

[zvezdochiot]

On the basis of favorites, build a model of templates - almost the same as favorites, but adapted to quickly insert values? That is, one value can be inserted at once in several places of template. See https://github.com/knqyf263/pet

@zvezdochiot it sounds like really nice idea! Can you please elaborate it more?

• Can you please give an example for templates entry?
• How would user add new template entry? From HSTR or by editing a file like ~/.hstr-templates?
• How exactly would use of templates look like?
  • I change view to templates.
  • I choose a template (row).
  • HSTR asks me to fill in a value.
  • Given value is substitued in template and command is executed?

Please correct me if I didn't get it.

Can you please an example for templates entry?

%%mkdir dskw; for tpng in *.png; do convert -verbose -deskew 50% "$tpng" "dskw/$tpng"; done %%dskw %%png

The first character (and the number of repetitions) defines the delimiter of the pattern and parameters. Use:

%%mkdir dskw; for tpng in *.png; do convert -verbose -deskew 50% "$tpng" "dskw/$tpng"; done %%dskw %%png
dk jpg
=>
mkdir dk; for tjpg in *.jpg; do convert -verbose -deskew 50% "$tjpg" "dk/$tjpg"; done

In this case, I use the usual replacement (the simplest). Works on the principle of sed. It is possible in another way. But here it is necessary to experiment.
