There are about 75+ options to play with. Some of the most important ones demonstrated here. For all the available options, please read the section Options in the [manual]
At the CLI use man qkw
will provide the options to construct a functional set.
To learn more, on how to set up macros
and other advanced use cases on how to make the most of qkw
, please consult the [manual]
The core option set
- add
- delete
- modify
- search
- Get help
qkw -h <option_string>
# Egs
qkw -h -T -cC
qkw -h -D -lA
- Create two tables
qkw -T -cC cmd_1
qkw -T -cD dir_1
- List the tables, and their types
qkw -T -lA
- Add the tables to config file.
qkw -cfgfile
- Content retrieval, gets data from the second column or V-column based on labels/tags
# only one label taken
qkw -gC <label> # C-tables
qkw -gD <label> # D-tables
- Visit a few directories and add labels
# current directory information
qkw -addpath p1 # in dir /a/b/c
qkw -addpath p2 # in dir x/y
- Add content to the tables manually as label:directory_path strings
# directories, D tables
# labels can have additional characters for modularity
# and easy to remember
qkw -iD m.x:"/u/v/w/x"
qkw -iD m.p:"/u/v/w/x/p"
qkw -iD n:"/q/r"
# commands, C tables
qkw -iC devpush:"git push origin dev"
qkw -iC open:"vi /path/to/my/todo/list.txt"
- Check the added content D:directories, C:commands
qkw -D -lA
qkw -C -lA
- Bulk Changes: export/import/removing/modifying data via a file.
# template file with fields to populate information
# label,value,expl fields
qkw -gettemplate cmdinput.data
# write to a file when labels are provided
qkw -C -if cmdoutput.data <L,L...,L> # L:labels
# write from file to the database
qkw -C -wf cmdinput.data
# add modified data from file, should have existing label
# helps when you have changes to make or reuse with variations
qkw -C -mf cmdinput.data
# delete the modified data from file, label should exist
# rest of the fields are ignored
qkw -C -df cmdinput.data
# same operations work for dir tables, but with different format
# since the format is "label:directory_path", one per line
# NOTE: -gettemplate option doesn't work for dir tables
qkw -D -if dirinput.data
qkw -D -mf dirinput.data
qkw -D -df dirinput.data
qkw -D -wf diroutput.data <L,L...,L> # L:labels
- Check the added data
qkw -C -lA
- Add the macros
cd2:navigation
, andrunfast:command execution
in your bashrc or it's equivalent
# navigation
cd2(){
cd `qkw -gD $1`
}
# command execution
runfast(){
eval `qkw -gC $1`
}
source ~/.bashrc
and start using the tags
# takes you to directory /u/v/w/x
cd2 m
# will run your the tagged lss commands
runfast lss
Search for information by tag
# "cmd" tables
qkw -sC <regex>
# "dir" tables
qkw -sD <regex>
