> Included Utility scripts
SDG-OS has a couple of utility scripts, all of which can be found under ~/.config/sdgos
#help/cmd-help.sh#
this script presents a searchable list of commands with their TLDR explainers on the right to the user.
the list of commands can be found in cmds.list.
when the user selects a command, it'll open the man page for that command.
this is bound to the bind *super+H* and the terminal alias `tldrtui`
#help/help.sh#
shows this menu! it effectively just shows you all the files in the topics folder with their contents.
this is bound to the bind *super+shift+H* and the terminal alias `tldrtui`
#help/references.sh#
this script takes a list file (like references.list, mangoipc.list or DMSipc.list) and presents it using fzf.
this is not used directly but used through another script to present searchable reference lists.
#screenshots/mode-toggle.sh#
this script rotates between 3 save modes for screenshots. these are then used by the other scripts.
modes are:
save to clipboard
save to file
open in editor
this is bound to the bind *printscreen*
#screenshots/fullscreen.sh#
takes an all-screen screenshot
this is bound to the bind *super+control+printscreen*
#screenshots/region.sh#
allows you to select a region
this is bound to the bind *super+printscreen*
#tips/tips.list#
this one is actually just a single line, so it doesnt have its own script, but this is the source file the tips system pulls from.
this is the line:
`shuf -n 1 ~/.config/sdgos/tips/tips.list`
this runs automatically on opening your first terminal (not on any successive terminals)
you can also get a tip by running `tipme` in the terminal or by pressing *super+0*
#tuis/aur-install.sh#
provides a graphical interface for browsing the AUR, including multi-select functionality and a details pane
you can launch this script with the terminal alias `aurgui` or the bind *super+shift+Y*
#tuis/pkg-install.sh#
provides a graphical interface for browsing the pacman repository, including multi-select functionality and a details pane
you can launch this script with the terminal alias `pacgui` or the bind *super+Y*
#tuis/documentation.sh#
provides quick access to various pieces of documentation, including various interactive reference lists.
you can launch this script with the terminal alias `documentation` or the bind *super+shift+M*
#tuis/layout-switch.sh#
allows you to switch through layouts using a selectable menu, pulls layouts from layouts.list, so new layouts can be added easily.
you can launch this script with the bind *super+W*
#tuis/project-select.sh#
shows a list of git repositories within your projects directory (default ~/projects) with their top level list of files + readme.
when you select a git repo, it'll open this repo in code-oss (vscode).
you can launch this script with the alias `git-projects` or the bind *super+shift+tab*
#mango-config.sh#
gives you a browsable TUI for all configuration files in ~/.config/mango, with a preview, selecting an entry opens it in micro.
