m's Introduction

m

A zsh command line tool to help with using your terminal and vim as your ide.

# open a file for editing
$ m <filename>

# find a pattern in a project
$ mg <search pattern>

# find a file in a project
$ mf <file pattern>

# open a search result from the above 2 commands
$ mo <n>

# open the most recently viewed file
$ mr

# run m on the last command args
$ ml

Requirements

Set up

# clone the repo
git clone [email protected]:samhstn/m.git && cd m

# set up the archive
mkdir -p $HOME/.m-archive
echo '[]' > $HOME/.m-archive/mr.json
echo '[]' > $HOME/.m-archive/mo.json

# add an `M_PATH` environment var to your `.zshrc`
echo "export M_PATH=$HOME/Projects/m" >> ~/.zshrc

# add tool to your .zshrc so it runs on start up
echo "source $(pwd)/m.zsh" >> ~/.zshrc

m's Issues

Should still be usable without needing macvim

Currently we require macvim to be installed which limits us to mac environments.

We should fallback to vim if mvim isn't found.

We only need to change this file: https://github.com/samhstn/m/blob/master/m.zsh

m to handle files pasted in from running git diff

When running git diff, we get something like the following output:

--- a/path/to/file.txt
+++ b/path/to/file.txt

I sometimes find myself copying a/path/to/file.txt and trying to open the file with m.

It would be great if m could handle being run in the following way:

m a/path/to/file.txt # opens ./path/to/file.txt

Mg to handle directories

The mg command always references the current directory. It would be good to be able to reference a specific directory. Something like the following usage:

mg [-cnhl] <pattern> [<directory>] [-v <exclude pattern>]

We currently have the following usage:

mg [-cnhl] <pattern> [-v <exclude pattern>]

mo to open file on specific line and search for pattern

We currently just open the file specified by mo <number>

It would be really cool if we could also arrive on the correct line number and jump to the first instance of the string we're searching for.

mo doesn't respect mg -v flag

After running:

mg <pattern> -v <exclude_pattern>

mo currently opens all files outputted by mg <pattern> and doesn't account for the <exclude_pattern>

mr doesn't open previous mo correctly

When running mr with last run m or mo command being mo 10.

We run the command m 10 which will open the file 10 in mvim.

We should instead run mo 10.

Rewrite using Rust

We can make use of https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep.
This will mean no messy interop between git-grep and bash or some language.

Allow mo to take range of files

It would be really cool if mo could handle opening multiple files.

Something like the following usage:

mo 1,2,3,6 # would open 4 files in vim
mo 1,4,6-10 # would open 7 files in vim
