A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

    I made this one to find binaries in NixOs and other systems

    get_bin_path() {
            paths=${2:-$PATH}
            for dr in $(echo $paths | tr ':' '\n') ; do
                    if [ -f "$dr/$1" ] ; then
                            echo "$dr/$1"
                            return 0
                    fi
            done
            return 1
    }
    

    Then I made this one to, if I have a shell o opened inside neovim it will tell the neovim process running the shell to open a file on it, instead of starting a new process

    _nvim_con() {
            abs_path=$(readlink --canonicalize "$@" | sed s'| |\\ |'g)
            $(get_bin_path nvim) --server $NVIM --remote-send "<ESC>:edit $abs_path<CR>"
            exit
    }
    
    # start host and open file
    _nvim_srv() {
            $(get_bin_path nvim) --listen $HOME/.cache/nvim/$$-server.pipe $@
    }
    
    if [ -n "$NVIM" ] ; then
            export EDITOR="_nvim_con"
    else
            export EDITOR="_nvim_srv"
    fi
    

    Lastly this bit: which if it detects a file and a line number split by a : it will open the file and jump to the line

    _open() {
            path_parts=$(readlink --canonicalize "$@" | sed s'| |\\ |'g | sed 's/:/\t/' )
            file=$(echo "$path_parts" | awk ' { print $1 }' )
            line=$(echo "$path_parts" | awk ' { print $2 }' )
    
            if [ -n "$line" ] ; then
                    # has line number
                    if [ -n "$NVIM" ] ; then
                            $(get_bin_path nvim) --server $NVIM --remote-send "<ESC>:edit $file<CR>:+$line<CR>"
                            exit
                    else
                            $(get_bin_path nvim) --listen $HOME/.cache/nvim/$$-server.pipe $file "+:$line"
                    fi
            else
                    $EDITOR $file
            fi
    }
    
    alias nvim="_open"
    

    all of my bash config is here
