Path to action.
Project description
When you click to a file or folder in graphical OS they will be opened in associated app. The xontrib-onepath brings the same logic for the xonsh shell. Type the filename or path without preceding command and an associated action will be executed. The actions are customizable.
If you like the idea of bar theme click ⭐ on the repo and stay tuned by watching releases.
Install
xpip install -U xontrib-onepath
echo 'xontrib load onepath' >> ~/.xonshrc
# Reload xonsh
Default actions
If file has execution permission it will be executed. If typed command is a registered name (i.e. git
)
and which
command returns the path (i.e. /usr/bin/git
) it will be executed. In other case the typed
path will be used to make action. Default actions:
Type | Action |
---|---|
inode/directory |
ls |
text/plain |
vim |
image/ |
xdg-open |
Help to add more types and best default actions. PRs are welcome!
Examples
$ / # ls /
$ ~/.xonshrc # vim ~/.xonshrc
$ ~/Downloads/logo.png # xdg-open ~/Downloads/logo.png
$ git # git
$ ./git # ls ./git
Type format
Priority | Format | Example |
---|---|---|
1 | Full path to file. | /etc/passwd |
2 | File name. | file.txt |
3 | File extension. | *.txt |
4 | MIME type/subtype and extension. | text/plain.txt |
5 | MIME type/subtype. | text/plain |
6 | MIME type. | text/ |
7 | Any file. | FILE (constant) |
8 | Any directory. | DIR (constant) |
9 | Any file or directory. | * (constant) |
To get MIME type for the file run file --mime-type --brief <file>
.
Customize actions
Use XONTRIB_ONEPATH_ACTIONS
environment variable to add new actions:
$XONTRIB_ONEPATH_ACTIONS['.xonshrc'] = 'vim' # vim for `.xonshrc` file
$XONTRIB_ONEPATH_ACTIONS['*.log'] = 'tail' # tail for text type *.log files
$XONTRIB_ONEPATH_ACTIONS['text/plain.txt'] = 'less' # less for plain text *.txt files
$XONTRIB_ONEPATH_ACTIONS['DIR'] = 'cd' # the same as xonsh $AUTO_CD=True
$XONTRIB_ONEPATH_ACTIONS['application/zip'] = 'als' # list files in zip file using atool
Complex actions
If you need more complex actions use callable xonsh aliases:
import pandas as pd
def _view_csv_with_pandas(args):
print(pd.read_csv(args[0]))
aliases['view_csv_with_pandas'] = _view_csv_with_pandas
del _view_csv_with_pandas
$XONTRIB_ONEPATH_ACTIONS['application/csv'] = 'view_csv_with_pandas'
Known issues
NTFS in Linux: all files have execute permission
If you mount NTFS partition with default permissions then all files will have execute permission
and onepath
will execute them instead of action. The right way
is to change default /etc/fstab
settings.
Example:
sudo umount /d
sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137 /d
ls -la /d
