I'm getting three copies of the possible commands rendered in iterm after a control space, in a typical 80x25 iterm window. Mojave 10.14.3, Bash 4.4.19(1), iTerm 2.1.4

Every time I use ctrl+t, I get the following error message, which prevents me from further editing the current command line:

grep: conflicting matchers specified

I'm on marker commit 9bd181db2f6e10d9d74b45cbc00ab3553fe89c4a, with zsh version 5.2.

I have 'ctrl-space' on macOS as input method switching shortcut. How do I change 'ctrl-space' for marker to something else to avoid collision?

I'm on OSX with iTerm2 and tmux. After installation of marker, the default command list that is shown doesn't seem to have the default osx commands like in the file tldr/osx.txt

I use fish and want to know what the status of marker on fish is - are you planning a port, or not planning but you'll allow for patches to be merged, or do not want fish patches to be merged (and so I should fork the project)?

Hi,

I find myself reentering the same text string over and over again.
Would it be possible for you to make placeholder references ?

For example when doing

  touch %1 && chmod +x %1

Only filling the first placeholder would be enough, the second one being filled automatically.

I added a marked command, but I don't want it anymore. Where can I find the folder where my commands are saved ? or how can I delete it ?

Hi,

I'm used to store loads of stuff on github to share them accross computers. Bookmarks are stored in ~/.local/share/marker along with

• the txt file used by the shell script and the python script to communicate, which is bound to change all the time.
• the sh file that holds exports and a source instruction.

It's not very convenient because I cannot init a git repository in this directory.

Would it be possible to extract the marks.txt definition file from this directory to place it in $HOME/.marker or any other place ?

I followed the install instructions. But when I git ctrl+space after a command. I don't see the list. I only see (arg: 1) <commnd> and then if I take an action it goes back to prompt.

Iterm 2.9
OSX
Bash 4

The configuration dir is hardcoded:

There should be an option at install time to change it. I, for one, would prefer $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/marker/.

In zsh if I do a TAB it starts a new mark:
~> ls TAB
turns into
~> marker mark --command='ls '
command: ls
Alias?:

Is there a way to reconfigure so TAB doesn't start a new mark?

Maybe the help text should be shown instead?

The current linux.txt includes commands that are geared towards Debian/Ubuntu installations (e.g. apt-get), but are not useful in other distros such as Arch, Redhat, etc.

Rather than assume one particular flavor of Linux, instead it might be useful to try and detect which flavor of Linux the user is using, and then load a distro-specific template, if one exists. If not, then fall back on a distro-agnostic file which contains only commands that do not depend on the specific distro the user is using (so no package manager commands, for example).

To avoid redundancy, you might consider adding a second layer of "common" commands -- this way you could load a linux_common.txt + linux_<distro>.txt (if the distro is known and supported).

Interested users of alternative distros could then submit PR's with distro-specific commands.

When i hit ctrl+space i get this error which freezes up the terminal window.
My bash version is here:
GNU bash, version 4.4.0(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
Any ideas?
Thanks

My terminal has an issue with sending Return (akermu/emacs-libvterm#40).

I forked the project to work on the ui, which I think it's useful because has no dependencies.

Maybe you guys are interested ?

This shouldn't happen, it should just exit quietly.

I have in my zshrc:
alias rm='echo "This is not the command you are looking for."; false'
to prevent me absent mindedly using rm instead of trash-cli.

marker is incompatible with this alias.
Changing line 42 in marker.sh to \rm -f $tmp_file seems to fix it.

Instead of pressing Control + Space everytime, is there a way to keep it activated from the beginning?

When trying to run install.py, i get this error:

On my system, when using pipes, i do sometimes get this weird error message (line 2 below). I haven't been able to figure out the cause, but i haven't seen any side effects from it before now, so i don't know if it is the problem here:

$ bash --version | head -1

Here's what i get in the REPL:

I was surprised so see a custom install.py rather than the expected setup.py, which has good support for letting the user configure where they want to install to, for example.

See, e.g., the Python Packaging User Guide, this other guide and setuptools

I've installed marker on OSX + zsh following the instructions, now when I'm pressing Ctrl-T getting following error on terminal screen:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/{{ <-- HERE .+?}}/ at -e line 1.

What could be possible reason for this error and how I can fix it?

PS. I've tried both iTerm and Terminal.

Currently, the recommended way to install is running the install.py script. But there is no script to run uninstallation.

Any way you could package up a release?

For composing multiple commands, it'd be useful if one could do something like the following:

curl http://some-url.com/ | grep links<ctrl+space>

... where it would then search for grep links (but not the curl command before it), and then upon completion, result in something like this:

curl http://some-url.com/ | grep -E 'https?:\/\/[^ ]+'

... so, in effect, only autocompleting the command you're currently writing - the same for > redirection.

This doesn't seem currently implemented, unless there's something I'm missing?

Great job otherwise, by the way :)

Hey,

this software is exactly what I'm looking for! Unfortunately it's not responding after the installation. When i press CTRL + space within bash with or without a command typed in, nothing happens. I've changed the key binding according to the workaround from pindexis (#28) but nothing changed.

Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS 64-bit
GNU bash, version 4.3.48(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

I'm looking forward to any advice!

I am on OSX El Capitan. I upgraded bash with brew install bash. Then installed marker. But, when I try to activate with Ctrl+Space, I get the following error: -bash: bash_execute_unix_command: cannot find keymap for command

On Ubuntu 16.04 after installation when I press cntrl space i see

bash: bash_execute_unix_command: cannot find keymap for command

cntrl k for example is working btw, so it seems to be installed correctly

I very often use Ctrl-T (swap characters, super useful when your fingers are faster than your brain, esp. in the morning :), and Ctrl-K (delete from cursor to end of line) when editing a command.

Might I thus suggest to switch the default bindings to some less "useful" combinations? e.g. Ctrl-B to "Bookmark" (Ctrl-B just moves the cursor to the left), and Ctrl-G to "Go to next placeholder" (Ctrl-G just beeps)

Once marker is activated, I can't change directories in midnight commander anymore. mc seems to freeze. mc 4.8.19, recent marker.

In the README you put Ctrl-Space as the default key binding to invoke marker get, but looking at the code, is actually Ctrl-@

marker_key_get=${MARKER_KEY_GET:-'\C-@'}

Just that. Great work, very useful.

marker.sh (line 118):
match=$(echo "$READLINE_LINE" | grep -ohP '{{.+?}}' | head -n 1)

There is no option "-P" in os x grep.

With lash version of zsh i have double output like this:

Hi,

Just want to know if I saved a command using marker, where can I find the file which contains this command.

I try to trace through the source code by myself, but I'm not an expert in python or shell. Hope someone can help me out.

Thank you again for this amazing project!

When trying to select something the screen doesn't clear

iTerm 2.1.1
OSX 10.10.2
Python 2.7.8
zsh 5.0.5 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0)

Mac OS users can manage all their packages and binary installations with homebrew, its a huge convenience for updating packages and for migrating to other machines.

example package tmux

The well-known tmux utility is hosted on github here: https://tmux.github.io/

Here is the ruby formula for package tmux, you can manage target machine type and dependencies can all be loaded automatically by brew.

Here is (i think) the homebrew starting point for contributing a package.

I've never done this myself, but I think the same is true for packages on ubuntu and other platforms -- its better to distribute via the package manager.

I've upgraded bash to 4.x and echo $BASH_VERSION prints 4.3.33(1)-release but doing a ./install.py I get this error:
Couldn't extract bash version, please report the issue
Installation failed

After installation I get on restart a warning for all the 'bind' command lines in marker.sh; something like:
marker.sh: line 143: bind: warning: line editing not enabled
etc (for line 144, etc.)

Do you have a solution for this?

After marker upgrade I am getting error

ImportError: No module named 'string_score'

Ubuntu 14.04 pyenv with python 3.4

pip install string_score

Collecting string-score
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement string-score (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for string-score

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Ctrl + t is built-in in the terminal, so is Ctrl + k. Would it be possible for you to allow one to choose the keys the actions are bound to ?

Thanks in advance

Hi, can you integrate with SDKMAN!?
