# Scripts module
|
|
|
|
The scripts module contains several small shell scripts which did not fit under any specific module.
|
|
Many of these modules are older and either 'legacy' in that they work but should be restructured at some point,
|
|
or perhaps not working at all anymore. It's a bit of a messy module.
|
|
|
|
Some will work for others without needing changes, some are very personalized to me.
|
|
|
|
## archive
|
|
|
|
An 'archiving' script, but not intended for backups. It will instead hardlink all files you give it in a single 'archive' directory, so even if you delete the original file from your directories, the hardlinked copy will remain.
|
|
|
|
I use it to build a small archive of (mostly youtube videos) that I can delete from my normal folders but always quickly search through and grab again whenever I need them. Will probably not be too useful for most other purposes.
|
|
|
|
## benchmark
|
|
|
|
`benchmark` allows you to take the time another commands needs to run.
|
|
It will simply output the time taken, and can be run repeatedly or averaged to get more accurate readings.
|
|
|
|
## bemenu-translate
|
|
|
|
`bemenu-translate` is a pretty useful tool if you are often writing in a non-native language, doing translation work or similar. In effect, it's a simple wrapper around `trans`, allowing you to use bemenu to input what you want translated and showing the output through the menu as well.
|
|
|
|
Very useful to have as a little dropdown which you can call via global shortcut.
|
|
|
|
## lockscreen
|
|
|
|
`lockscreen` does just that, invoking i3lock/waylock program with some simple defaults and a color, as well as stopping any running media and muting the audio.
|
|
|
|
## nomie
|
|
|
|
`nomie` logs a simple journal entry in the open source habit-tracking app [nomie](https://nomie.app).
|
|
To do this it needs an api key, which is, as of now, hard-coded to be sourced from my pass app.
|
|
|
|
## powermenu
|
|
|
|
A menu to invoke power-related commands: Shut down your PC, reboot, log out, sleep and suspend. Very simple, very useful.
|
|
|
|
## sharefile
|
|
|
|
This one could be useful to many: Quickly upload any file to `http://0x0.st` and get the link on your clipboard.
|
|
Can take the file to upload through stdin, as an argument, or be chosen interactively with fzf.
|
|
|
|
## uoeia
|
|
|
|
Helps you open images, especially remote ones, in your favorite image viewer. Point it at a link and it will open many different kinds of pictures, galleries, and so on.
|
|
|
|
## vidl
|
|
|
|
Helps you download videos (mostly from youtube) and archive them using the archive script above.
|
|
I use it to download interesting looking videos into an inbox for later viewing.
|
|
|
|
## wallcrop.sh
|
|
|
|
Probably not too useful for most: Takes an image that is exactly 3840x1080 pixels and cuts it in half,
|
|
naming the resulting images `xy_l.png` and `xy_r.png`. I use it to quickly cut multi-monitor wallpapers to a good display size.
|
|
|
|
## wallr
|
|
|
|
Allows you to read articles from your wallabag instance in the terminal. Pretty simple wrapper for the wallabag-cli python library (which is a requirement). Lists your articles using fzf by default and can mark them read if you wish.
