On: Percol: An interactive grep tool in your terminal

[dhamidi]

Funnily enough, I recently implemented something akin to percol:

https://github.com/dhamidi/tmenu

It actually tries to be dmenu for the terminal.

Glorious, I was about to start a similar thing (in python though). Time to play with your toy.

ps: I'd add a readline/inputrc alias for '| tmenu '

[dhamidi → agumonkey]

Would you mind sharing what that alias would look like and do? I can only imagine it appending the string "| tmenu" to the current line, eventually pressing Return for the user as well.

    $ bind '"\C-L": "\| less -S \C-j"'

Warning: seems like GNU readline isn't case sensitive so C-L === C-l thus, in this example, C-l default behavior (clear screen?) is overridden. I didn't RTFM so trust yourself.

Also, a redditor told me about slmenu (dmenu parody for shell)

Update: the README now describes the available key bindings and gives more usage examples.
