README
xontrib-histcpy
---------------
Useful aliases and shortcuts for extracting links and text from command
output history in [xonsh](https://xon.sh).
------
Usage
=====
If you use [prompt toolkit](https://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/master/), `histcpy` will bind the follow shortcuts:
* Alt + u: Open one of the URLs that a previous command wrote to output in your web browser
* Alt + y: Copy one of the URLs to clipboard
The same functionality and more is available with the following command aliases (even when not using ptk):
* `getout`: Copy the output of one of the last few commands to clipboard (without re-running the command - uses history)
* `cpyclip`: Copy one of the last few URLs that a command wrote to stdout to clipboard (Alt+y keybinding)
* `cpyclip`: Open one of the last few URLs that a command wrote to stdout in your browser (Alt+u keybinding)
Currently, `histcpy` can only work with the default `$XONSH_HISTORY_BACKEND`
(i.e. it does not work with the `sqlite` backend, only `json`).
You also need to set `$XONSH_STORE_STDOUT=True`, obviously.
Installation
============
Just do a
```console
pip install xontrib-histcpy
```
or you can clone the repo with pip
```console
pip install git+https://github.com/con-f-use/xontrib-histcpy
```
Configuration
=============
To automatically load `histcpy` on startup, put
```console
xontrib load histcpy
```
in your `.xonshrc`.
ToDo
====
* Do an alias+shortcut for getting paths for files and directories and such from history (only existing on filesystem?)
* Make shortcuts configurable
* Use `@events.onpostcommand` as fallback if not `XONSH_STORE_STDOUT` (see #14)
Alternative
===========
* More powerful alternative is [xontrib-output-search](https://github.com/anki-code/xontrib-output-search).
