# largechar
Displays the passed string as the entire screen.
This is a replacement for Alfred's [LargeType](https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/large-type/).
## Install
Requires: [`yarn`](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#debian-stable)
```
git clone https://github.com/purarue/largechar
cd largechar
make
make install
```
Note: This is an electron app, but it doesn't build as an application, I just run it from this directory. Installing creates a shell script that you can put somewhere on your `$PATH`, which references the directory you clone this into.
## Run
```
Displays large characters on your screen
https://github.com/purarue/largechar
Usage:
largechar [-h|--help]
largechar
largechar [-c|--colorize]
Examples:
largechar "youremail@somewhere.com"
largechar -c "pr8dea7AvZoirx2S22TB" # show a password to someone
```
If no arguments are passed, the wrapper script will try and read from STDIN, e.g.: `date | largechar`
To quit, use whatever keyboard shortcut you use to quit/force-quit usually.
