Recently I've been using Enso (a keyboard-based launcher program similar to Do) on Windows and one thing I really love about it is that it makes it really easy to build up your own vocabulary of custom commands, at least for opening things. For example, I went to google mail in my browser, highlighted the URL in the URL bar, then launched Enso, selected the 'Learn as open' command, it asks me for a command name and I type gmail, now I have a new command in Enso: the command gmail will open gmail in my browser. This works with all sorts of things, such as files and folders, application launchers, just select whatever it is, launch the learn as open command in enso, give it a name, and you have a new command that opens whatever it was.
Does Do have a way of doing this already? It seems like a 'Learn as open..' plugin would be a simple one to write, but I don't have time so I'm making a request. I wonder if the concept could be extended somehow, beyond just opening things? In the shell, I can build up a list of custom commands by writing shell scripts and keeping them in my ~/bin/ folder, which I have on my $PATH. These scripts could also be picked up by some non-terminal launcher programs, such as dmenu or gnome do. Then you could have a custom command do anything you want. Of course writing a shell script is not exactly quick and easy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GNOME Do" group.
