Subject: transparent access to zsh shell functions and aliases; and, the Emacs/tty/X clipboard issue
Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 10:53:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k3aoqqvl.fsf@nl106-137-194.student.uu.se> (raw)
Been away from the game a long time. People say Emacs
changed - they want to know what I think about
it. Truth told, suffered from self-doubt. Had to prove
I still had it. If I succeeded? Y'know what they say:
in hacking, the *fans* are the judges. But seems to me,
since I left ain't too much changed.
1. Transparent access to zsh aliases and functions from
Emacs, having them at one place (or places, if you make
calls form ~/.zshenv) - point is, same place for zsh
and Emacs so no multiple definitions that may get out of
synch.
(defun emacs-or-shell-cmd (command-name)
(interactive "s command: ")
(if (commandp (intern command-name))
(execute-extended-command current-prefix-arg command-name)
(shell-command command-name 1) ))
;; in ~/.zshenv, put
;; say_hello () { echo hello }
;; alias shut='shutdown -h now -F'
(global-set-key (kbd "M-a") 'emacs-or-shell-cmd)
2. Emacs tty/X clipboard finally working - if you
remember this issue - the key was to use 'xsel', not
'xclip'. Contrary to 'xclip', you'll have to get 'xsel'
from the repos.
(defun insert-X-clipboard ()
(interactive)
(shell-command "xsel --display \":0\" -b -o" 1) ; 1 = output at point
(goto-char (mark)) )
(defun set-X-clipboard ()
(interactive)
(let ((input (if mark-active
(buffer-substring-no-properties
(region-beginning)
(region-end))
(string-make-unibyte
(current-kill 0 t)) ))) ; most recent kill; don't pop
(shell-command
(format "echo -n '%s' | xsel --display \":0\" -b -i" input) )))
(defalias 'pst 'insert-X-clipboard)
(defalias 'cpy 'set-X-clipboard)
