how do you toogle capslock using the cmd setxkbmap?
Hi, I'd like to add an alias for toogle caps. in this way I will can reverse the cmd:
alias M='setxkbmap -option caps:escape'
and put in work the capslock key again doing again capslock and not more escape.
Thank you and regards!

I created an Fortune 500 enterprise wide product utilizing -only- BASH noscript
Finally some utility from learning BASH. Gonna be honest though, I used AI to remind me syntax. Its been a while since I was a linux admin.
Its an alerting solution for business functions that need immediate support.
That is all. Just feels good to utilize a closet skill.

posting my setup noscript for backup/revert/log
just put this in a noscript called setup, then run it using . ./setup (make sure you are inside of your target new directory for your project): Then you have a nice menu to get to your directory setup. The internal directories will be named by ranked date-time.
I have been using this setup for my work in JavaScript. I could be adaptable to other workflows with small total filesize. There is no compression happening.
The purpose of this type of backup/revert situation is to be able to very freely experiment with the code.
I have been thinking, just now about severing the BASH noscripts from my project and setting them up in their own repo with an empty example directory structure.
Let me know what you think about it.
You end up with a menu system in the home directory. The menu will be accessible by '. ./menu' and then the directory name.
If you choose directory names with a unique first letter, then you are 'TABBING' you way in.

Recaller: A fast command-line tool to recall your bash history with absolute precision & instant command documentation
Hi, community, we are open-sourcing a Go terminal application called **Recaller** that fetches command history based on your actions.
https://github.com/cybrota/recaller
Recaller suggests shell history (bash) based on recency & frequency making things more relevant for you. It also provides documentation to various types of commands (K8s, Docker, Linux man pages, AWS CLI etc.) instantly for options reference and learning.
Combined with a fuzzer like `fzf`, curated history shows up right in the shell. App is < 5 MB in size, and runs locally. The tool uses optimization techniques (AVL-trees & Caching) to achieve its lookup speeds.

Aliasses yes or No?
Hi! I was thinking Is it better to use or not alias?
They accelerate the writing of commands but makes us forget the original, complete, long command.
I think: And... if we have to be on another PC without those alias put in the ~/.bashrc, how do we remember the original command?
Thanks and Regards!

I isolated some functions, and what I understand is that the
get_git_info() function is the problem. I can't make it work properly.https://redd.it/1mveqbg

Does anyone use local uncompressed backup? Git-everything-always? Or layered approach?
I'm just wondering... I am new to Git, about three weeks in. Does anyone out there use a local uncompressed backup system for fast backups and reversions? Or is the Git-everything philosophy the best route?
I have been reading up on it and it seems like there is something useful about having a local reversion system outside of Git. Something simpler. Something closer to a 'layered approach'.
Write me a line.
Thanks,

Bash Librewolf Installation
Github Repository: InstallScripts
Created a bash noscript that supports all the distros that librewolf ( privacy focused fork of firefox ) supports and I finished the noscript just need to test it on the other distros using docker, so far Debian, fedora and opensuse were successful.

Prompt that repeats until user give correct input ( while loop )
Here's is an example of the code
while true; do
read -p "Would you like to continue? (yes/no): " yesorno # Outputs a Prompt
if "$yes_or_no" == "yes" ; then
echo "Continuing with the noscript..."
elif "$yes_or_no" == "no" ; then
echo "Not continuing with the noscript, exiting..."
exit 1
else # Executes if user does input "yes or no"
echo "Invalid input, try again..."
clear # clears the terminal
fi # ending block for the if statement
done # ending block for while loop

What safe config file format do you recommend?
I don't want to source something in case it executes code. For now I am using json and jq. I would use yaml instead but yq isn't among programs I can justify installing
I could parse a text file. Sugestions? I just need key and value.

Does anyone use select menus?
They looked like a useful feature at first, but then I realized that select only prints the prompt ($PS3) but not the list. If whatever command you ran before prints a lot of text to stderr/stdout, you will not be able to see the list of options.

Made a bash argument parser
So I got tired of getopts and while loops for manual parsing. Plus help messages never staying in sync when you update your parser.
Built
That's it. Help messages auto-generate and stay in sync. Flag bundling works (
GitHub
PS: This is just what I use on my own machine. For portable noscripts, I still stick to while loops since I don't want to make bash noscripts require downloading dependencies for everyone. These files live on my PC and work great for my environment, just thought it was cool enough to share.

Built
barg.sh - pure bash, performant enough to beat Python argparse by 3x (in my PC a simple hello world in python was 5 ms slower than barg generating the help message, lol), zero dependencies.#!/usr/bin/bash
source barg.sh
barg::parse "${@}" << BARG
meta { helpmsg: true }
f/force :flag => FORCE "Force overwrite"
o/output :str => OUTPUT "Output directory"
v/verbose :flag => VERBOSE "Verbose mode"
BARG
That's it. Help messages auto-generate and stay in sync. Flag bundling works (
-fv). Subcommands supported. Choice validation built in, has something I think switch is a good name, types, default values, etc.GitHub
