RandyAfter putting it off for too long, I'm finally diving into Bash scripting to enhance my system administration skills! Automating tasks and improving efficiency are my goals.

naiaToday I learned: you can use `bind -x` to make bash execute code whenever you type some key chord.Example: get CTRL-o to fuzzy-find a file. (using <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/fzf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fzf</a> ❤️ )```bash bind -x '"\C-o": xdg-open $(fzf --height 50% --reverse)" ```My *very* current setup is bit more than this, since I might want to jump to a folder, and since my muscle memory is used to `C-x C-f` to find-file under <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#emacs</a> ```bash bind -x '"\C-x\C-f": find_file "$(fzf --preview "bat --style=numbers --color=always --line-range :500 {}" --walker=file,dir,follow,hidden --height 50% --reverse)"'find_file() { echo if [ -f $1 ]; then echo "Opening "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 2)$1$(tput sgr0) && history -s xdg-open $1 && xdg-open "$1" && xdg-open "$1"; elif [ -d $1 ]; then cd "$1" && echo "Now at "$(tput bold)$(tput setaf 2)`pwd`$(tput sgr0); fi } ```<a href="https://lor.sh/tags/til" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#til</a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bash</a> <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/fzf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fzf</a>
