Introduction

You're in the middle of a task when your mind blanks on a shortcut. Split a pane. Jump to the end of a line. Search scrollback. Instead of staying in flow, you leave the terminal to search the web, or dig through notes or worse ask your AI, and the interruption costs more than ease the shortcut ever provided.

shortcuts keeps what you need where you work. One command prints your personal cheat sheet in a clean, aligned, colored layout; another searches it; another opens it in your editor. Keep shortcuts, notes, IPs, or plaintext passwords anything you want a glance away in your CLI.

Powered by a single plain-text file and one lightweight script per platform, it works identically across PowerShell, cmd, Linux, macOS, WSL, and Git Bash. Fully offline, zero dependencies, and updates only when you ask.

Installation

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://github.com/Suhaas-code/shortcuts-cmd/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

Linux · macOS · WSL · Git Bash:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/Suhaas-code/shortcuts-cmd/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

The installer puts shortcuts on your PATH and seeds a default list matched to your environment. Open a new terminal, or run the one-liner it prints to use it in the current shell. Re-running is safe - it never overwrites your edits.

Customization

Run shortcuts edit and make it yours. The data file is plain text — # for a section, a Tab between a key and its description, and `backticks` to highlight individual keys:

# Git
`git` `st`      status
`git` `co`      checkout

It also understands a Markdown-lite subset (## sub-headings, **bold** / *italic*, --- rules), per-file color themes via // color lines, and // ansi = off to strip all styling for SSH/WSL sessions.
