xontrib-histcpy

Useful aliases and shortcuts for extracting links and text from command output history in xonsh.

Usage

If you use ptk(2)-prompts, histcpy will bind the follow shortcuts:

• Alt + u: Open one of the URLs that a previous command wrote to output in your web browser
• Alt + y: Copy one of the URLs to clipboard

The same functionality and more is available with the following command aliases (even when not using ptk):

• getout: Copy the output of one of the last few commands to clipboard (without re-running the command - uses history)
• cpyclip: Copy one of the last few URLs that a command wrote to stdout to clipboard (Alt+y keybinding)
• cpyclip: Open one of the last few URLs that a command wrote to stdout in your browser (Alt+u keybinding)

Installation

Just do a

pip install xontrib-histcpy

or you can clone the repo with pip

pip install git+https://github.com/con-f-use/xontrib-histcpy

Configuration

To automatically load histcpy on startup, put

in your .xonshrc.
