Hi, first off, thanks for a fantastic tool, I've used it with great joy for some 1-2 years!
Many many years ago, like 10-13 or so, I started using bashmarks which provide some very neat one-letter shell commands like g mark, s mark etc.
Through the years I've used different shell bookmarks tools like jump & cd-bookmark and I've always kept the original bashmark-style commands by creating similar aliases to the other bookmarking tools, as they are so convenient!
fzf-marks stared a new area of bookmarking, with the interactive menu. When searching for a bookmark I don't know the exact name of, the the fzf interactive menu is perfect! When I know the exact name, it's often easier and faster to use a direct command.
Thus I've used aliases & functions also with fzf-marks, in the style of Bashmarks. This is what I have in my shell startup file:
alias g='fzm'# Jump to mark (provided as argument)alias s='mark'# Save current dir as mark (provided as argument)alias e="vi $FZF_MARKS_FILE"# Edit bookmarks file. alias l="sort $FZF_MARKS_FILE"# List all bookmarks_fzf_marks_delete() {
local mark="$1"if! grep -q "^$mark : "$FZF_MARKS_FILE;thenecho"$mark is not in the bookmarks">&2return 2
fi
sed -i.bak -e "/^${mark} : /d""$FZF_MARKS_FILE"&& rm "$FZF_MARKS_FILE.bak"
}
alias d='_fzf_marks_delete'# Delete mark (provided as arg)_fzf_marks_print() {
local mark="$1"if! grep -q "^$mark : "$FZF_MARKS_FILE;thenecho"$mark is not in the bookmarks">&2return 2
fi
grep "^$mark :"$FZF_MARKS_FILE| awk '{print $3}'
}
alias p='_fzf_marks_print'# Print a mark (provided as arg)
This works, but it would be neat if there was built-in support by this tool to do operations like edit, list and delete a mark!
Note: I'm not requesting that this tool should adopt the bashmark-style command names like g, s etc., that I can always create myself, but a requst to provide some switches or subcommands to fzfm or mark to do this. Maybe mark -d abookmark could delete a bookmark named abookmark for example.
