Party cmatrix about cmatrix

[abishekvashok]

It's a bug rather than an intentional feature or Easter egg.

A very cool bug feature, if you ask me :-)

[abishekvashok]

Shall we add this to docs then?

[wadkar]

Yeah, we can but not sure how to describe it. When I tried unaliased ls | cmatrix it locked my terminal and messed it up after I pkill cmatrix from another tmux pane. I think the bug feature is that cmatrix will take piped input as argvs and change its mode constantly?

It's interesting when you gem install colorls and pipe alias ls='colorls -lA --sd --group-directories-first' output to cmatrix ls | cmatrix. The terminal doesn't get locked up and it works fine when you quit with Ctrl-c (q takes a looooooong time for it to stop).

I can send in a PR if you like and we can take it from there.

[abishekvashok]

Sure do it

[space-pagan]

I'll be patching this out. It doesn't make sense for cmatrix to take in arguments past the ones defined.
