[9fans] Acme 2-1 chord arguments

[9fans] Acme 2-1 chord arguments

[Brian Zwahr]

According to the man page, using the 2-1 chord sends selected text as a *distinct* argument to the executed command. This is all well and good for Edit, Look, etc. However, it keeps me from being able to, for instance, select “checkout .” or “pull —prune” and then 2-1 on “git”. So, two questions:

1.) Is there a way to do what I’m trying to do?

2.) What was the reasoning behind 2-1 chording sending distinct arguments?

dirty 1.) rc -c 'git '^
note the space after git

idiomatic 1.) use win(1), pass 'command' argument a script which executes
git for each line of input as arguments through rc(1) to evaluate the
arguments in the usual way

2.) you can pass complex regular expression as argument to grep(1), without
rc(1) choking on metacharacters.
the argument is guaranteed not to have unforeseen side effects.


example win(1) script:
#!/usr/bin/env rc

orig_ifs = $ifs

PAGER=cat

while (true) {
    ifs=''
    echo -n 'git> '
    line = `{read}
    ifs = $orig_ifs
    rc -c 'git '^ $line
}

Thanks for the information! I must confess, I don’t fully understand your idiomatic answer.

Have you tried typing git into the win tag and typing and selecting
the subsequent arguments in another window, passing them to git via
the 2-1 chord?

I've just tried doing that with 'git pull', and 'ls -ld .', both
commands working as expected for me.

Is this what you've been trying to do, or am I thinking wrong here?

I guess I should clarify that I’m not using win. I normally do everything in a +Errors window. So, for git, I run all the commands in /project/root/dir/+Errors.

I just tried in a win window, and it does work. I’m assuming this is because win parses what’s passed in differently.

I just tried typing 'git' into my '/project/root/dir/+Errors' with
'log' selected in a different Acme window. Executing chord 2-1 on
'git' did work for me. The 'log' argument has to be selected in its
entirety, but not the trailing new line, which would generate an
'invalid key error' message, if passed to 'git'. Alternatively, you
may just click with  button 1 on the argument being passed, and then
do the 2-1 chord on 'git'. This worked for me as well. Hope this
helps.

Do you get any output when you try doing the 2-1 mouse chord on git?

Sorry, let me be more clear. The issue when I need to send multiple arguments. For instance using 2-1 to add “pull” or “checkout” to “git” works. However, using 2-1 to add “pull --prune” or “checkout .” does not work. At least, not in +Errors. It does work in win, though, apparently.

I see. Sorry. I don't have any other ideas for you to try at the moment.
