Automagic ctrl+t filename completion to launch in your favorite editor
Project description
completeme
completeme is a python script that’ll allow you to auto-complete filenames and launch them in an editor, much like GitHub’s ‘t’ keyboard shortcut. Rather than tab-completing to oblivion (ever worked on a Java project?), just start typing the name of the file, and when you hit ‘enter’, it’ll open that file in your favorite $EDITOR. If you hit ‘tab’, the filename will be entered back into the command line.
Uses files stored in the current GitHub repository and falls back on all files below the current working directory.
Make sure to add `source /usr/local/bin/setup_completeme_key_binding.sh` to your .bashrc to enable Ctrl+t support!
Configuration
completeme comes with /etc/completeme.json, which you can use to, well, configure your completeme experience.
git_entire_tree (default=true) indicates whether, if we’re in a git repository, we should search all files in the git repository, regardless of where we are in said repository. That is, if we have a repository like /hello.txt, /a/there.txt, /b/myfriends.txt, and we’re in the /a directory, git_entire_tree=true implies that we’ll also surface /hello.txt and /b/myfriends.txt. Otherwise, you’ll just get /a/there.txt.
find_hidden_directories (default=false) indicates whether we should search inside dot directories (assuming we didn’t find a git repository). These are things like .config/, .vim/, etc.
find_hidden_files (default=false) indicates whether we should find files that start with a dot (assuming we didn’t find a git repository). These are things like .emacs, .xinitrc, .DS_Store, etc.
