subs

This project aims to reduce the amount of things we type. Specially useful for syntax heavy languages.

Installation:

Linux

sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/subs "http://jeancarlomachado.net/subs" \
&& sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/subs

Other

You have to compile for your platform, the only requirement is Haskell stack.

git clone git@github.com:jeanCarloMachado/subs.git
cd subs
make
make install

Create/copy the config file into ~/.subsconfig.ini. This file is the default one.

Usage

After having your config just pipe the text to stdin.

subs <<< 'cl Gandalf'
class Gandalf
{

}

Integrations

The true power of subs comes when you integrate it with your tools.

Vim

For vim, using Tim Pope's textobject integration is simply a matter of:

fun! s:Subs(str)
  let my_filetype = &filetype
  let out = system('subs -p '.my_filetype, a:str."\n")
  return out
endfunc
call MapAction('Subs', '<leader>y')

Zsh

# in your .zshrc
evaluate-snippets-selection () {
    if [[ $CURSOR -gt $MARK ]]; then
        start=$MARK
        end=$(( CURSOR + 1 ))
    else
        start=$(( CURSOR + 1 ))
        end=$MARK
    fi
    BUFFER="$BUFFER[0,start]$(subs <<< $BUFFER[start+1,end])$BUFFER[end+1,-1]"
}
zle -N evaluate-snippets-selection
bindkey '^O' evaluate-snippets-selection

Dmenu

#!/bin/bash
# file dmenuSnippets.sh
key=$( subs -k | rofi -levenshtein-sort -dmenu -p "snippet: ")
echo $key
value=$( echo "$key" | subs )

echo "$value"
mycopy "$value"
notify-send "Copied"
