Commandsheet: display catalog of commands user uses often

What does it do? Exactly what the title says! (Or maybe more like: display catalog of commands you never remember how to use).

I came up with this project for one reason: there's always some of those commands I never remember how to use.

Commandsheet to the rescue! With it, you can document the commands of your liking (i.e. the commands you never know how to use) and what they do to a config file, which Commandsheet then reads and prints nicely to the screen for you. Nice and simple!

Installation

Commandsheet is available in PyPi!

python -m pip install commandsheet

Usage

You should have a basic config file set up before you can use Commandsheet. Check the next section to set up the config.

After setting up the config file, using Commandsheet is as easy as running:

commandsheet

Configuration

Below is an example config file for Commandsheet. Copy the contents, create the file ~./config/commandsheet/commandsheet.ini and paste the contents there.

The name between the brackets denotes the start of a section. The name can be anything useful for you, for example '[my commands]'. To add entries under a section, separate the key and value with a '=', where the key on the left of the '=' is supposed to be a command or a command-sequence, and the value on the right a description for that command / command-sequence.
