xontrib-output-search 0.4.0

Get identifiers, names, paths, URLs and words from the previous command output and use them for the next command in xonsh.

Get identifiers, names, paths, URLs and words from the previous command output and use them for the next command in xonsh.

Save time. Forget about using mouse, touchpad or trackball to get any words from output to the next command.

Secure. The xontrib-output-search is not writing any output on the hard disk. Only latest not empty output stored in the memory. It works the same way as xonsh shell and the security level is the same.

Universal. Forget about searching autocomplete plugins for every app you use and get the identifiers from the output.

echo 'xontrib load output_search' >> ~/.xonshrc
# Reload xonsh

Usage

After xontrib load output_search you have two ways to select tokens from latest not empty output:

• Press Alt + F hotkeys
• Type f__ and press Tab key

Features

Words tokenizing

$ echo "Hello world"
Hello world
$ echo The second word is wo<Alt+F>
$ echo The second word is world

URL example:

$ echo "Try https://github.com/xxh/xxh"
Try https://github.com/xxh/xxh
$ git clone xx<Alt+F>
$ git clone https://github.com/xxh/xxh

JSON, Python dict and JavaScript object tokenizing

$ echo '{"Try": "xontrib-output-search"}'
{"Try": "xontrib-output-search"}
$ echo I should try se<Alt+F>
$ echo I should try xontrib-output-search

env tokenizing

$ env | grep ^PATH=
PATH=/one/two:/three/four
$ ls fo<Alt+F>
$ ls /three/four

Complex prefixes autocomplete

Get the URL from previous output after typing git+:

$ echo "Try https://github.com/anki-code/xontrib-output-search"
Try https://github.com/anki-code/xontrib-output-search

$ pip install git+xo<Alt+F>
$ pip install git+https://github.com/anki-code/xontrib-output-search

Get the port number from previous output while typing the URL:

$ echo "The port number is 4242"
The port number is 4242

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:4<Alt+F>
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:4242

Development

Tokenizers

Tokenizer is a functions which extract tokens from the text.

Priority	Tokenizer	Text	Tokens
1	dict	{"key": "val as str"}	['key', 'val as str']
2	env	PATH=/bin:/etc	['PATH', '/bin:/etc', '/bin', '/etc']
3	split	Split me \n now!	['Split', 'me', 'now!']
4	strip	{Hello}	['Hello']

You can create your tokenizer and add it to tokenizers_all in tokenize_output.py.

Tokenizing is a recursive process where every tokenizer returns final and new tokens. The final tokens directly go to the result list of tokens. The new tokens go to all tokenizers again to find new tokens. As result if there is a mix of json and env data in the output it will be found and tokenized in appropriate way.

Test and debug

Run tests:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/anki-code/xontrib-output-search
cd xontrib-output-search
pytest

To debug the tokenizer:

echo "Hello world" | python tokenize_outupt.py --pipe

Check that output_search loaded:

$ xontrib list output_search
output_search  installed  loaded

$ completer list | grep output_search
xontrib_output_search

Known issues

cat file is not captured

Workaround: cat file | head.

Alt+F combination may not working in PyCharm terminal

Workaround: f__ + Tab.
