# Spotlight Scripts

A collection of scripts that can be executed via Spotlight.

## Usage

### Permitions

All the scripts need permitions to be executable by the user, this can be done by running `chmod -R u+x .` on the root directory of the project or using the `chmod-x-all.sh` script.

> All new scripts should be given permition after creation.

Then set the Terminal to automatically close the window upon completion, in the Terminal app go to `Preferences` > `Profiles` > (Select a Profile) > `Shell`; on `When the shell exits` choose `Close the window`.

The project can be anywhere on the system, just make sure Spotlight indexes the parent folder.

### Spotlight

Use the keybinding to open Spotlight (`cmd` + `space` by default) and type the name of the script (e.g.: sleep.sh.command) and hit enter to execute it; after sometime of using the scripts Spotlight will autocomplete them, then only typing the first part of the name will be enough (e.g.: sleep).

## Scripts

```shell

├── personal

│   └── morning.sh.command # Daily morning setup

├── spotify

│   ├── next.sh.command # Skips to next track on the queue

│   ├── pause.sh.command # Pauses current track

│   ├── play.sh.command # Plays current track

│   └── prev.sh.command # Rollback to previous track

├── system

│   ├── empty-tash.sh.command # Empties the trash bin

│   ├── quit-all.sh.command # Quits all open apps (WIP)

│   ├── screensaver.sh.command # Sets the screensaver on all screens

│   ├── shutdown.sh.command # Shuts down the system after prompting the password

│   └── sleep.sh.command # Sleeps the system

└── utils

    ├── chmod-x-all.sh # Makes every script on the folder executable from spotlight (WIP)

    ├── mk-demo.sh.command # Converts every .mov file in the desktop to .mp4

    ├── name-png.sh.command # Renames every .png image to demo.png

    └── pomodoro.sh.command # Simple pomodoro timer (WIP)

```

## Next up

Scripts that would be nice to make:

- Close specific app (like on Alfred).

- Close all apps (WIP).

- Play a song on Spotify by name.
