Recommended way to list cheatsheets among *all* cheat directories

[be-rock]

If i have a community sourced cheatsheet in readonly: true but i want to supplement that data with what's in my personal cheatsheet, how do i get the output of cheat to show info from both cheatpath community and cheatpath personal.

E.g. $ cheat tar
will show results from both community and personal dirs.

@be-rock, there is currently no way to do this. I can see the value in this feature, though. (I've wished I had this once or twice myself already.)

Proposal: what about adding an --all (-a) flag that displays output from all sources (rather than the most "local" source)? I don't think that would entail a huge amount of effort.

that sounds like a great solution to me. and maybe even an option during setup to set the default directory criteria e.g. [community|personal|work|all]. or an even simpler solution would be to simply alias cheat to alias cheat='cheat --all'.

Regardless, thank you and keep up the great work on this awesome tool :)

Update: solving this properly will actually require more effort than I initially estimated. I still intend to do it - I just need to find the time. I'm hoping to be able to address this some time within the next two weeks.

Well, this took a little longer than "two weeks", but the --all flag is available as of release 4.2.0:

This was a feature that I wanted for sometime now. Thanks for implementing it.
However, I was thinking of aliasing cheat to cheat --all. But it looks like when using the -all flag, the priority gets reversed. The community cheatsheets shows up first which seems counter-intuitive to me. I would like my personal cheatsheets to take preference. Am i missing something here?
