CSVs

Create a csv file in either the "dyn-menu" or "csvs" directories

It can be structured like example.csv

Menu title 1,echo one
Menu title 2,echo "Any bash can go here"
menu title 3,echo "even if it needs arguments"
pass this a dir to run du on, du -h
any string, echo "try passing this a dir too" && ls

Making menu scripts

To prepare to make menus, open the tmpl file (its just plaintext) and change the paths to your local directories (the ones that say /home/nick/....)

To make menu scripts, in make_menus.py change the bin_path variable to a directory where you want menu scripts to be put I recommend making a dir and adding it to your path for easy menu calling

Example file Structure

This is "Scripts" folder in my home directory

Example Menu

example.csv is structured like

Menu title 1,echo one
Menu title 2,echo "Any bash can go here"
menu title 3,echo "even if it needs arguments"
pass this a dir to run du on, du -h
any string, echo "try passing this a dir too" && ls

and will show a menu like

    example
  
1. [M]enu title 
2. M[e]nu title 2
3. me[n]u title 3
4. [p]ass this a dir to run du on
5. [a]ny string

The menu can be called with arguments to give its item (see items 4,5 for example)

Usage

For the example menu example

1. [M]enu title 
2. M[e]nu title 2
3. me[n]u title 3
4. [p]ass this a dir to run du on
5. [a]ny string

Pushing the number that corresponds to the menu entry will run that entry

Pushing the letter that is bracketed will also run the corresponding menu entry; 1 or "M" to run the first item in the menu

Arrow keys + Enter key can also be used
