The terminal command palette

Marker

Marker is a command palette for the terminal. It lets you bookmark commands (or commands templates) and easily retreive them with the help of a real-time fuzzy matcher.

It's also shipped with many commands common usage(Thanks to tldr).

Features:

• A UI selector that lets you easily select the desired command if more than one command is matched.
• Fuzzy matching (through commands and their descriptions).
• Command template: You can bookmark commands with place-holders and place the cursor at those place-holders using a keyboard shortcut.
• Portability across supported shells: you can use bookmarked commands in both Bash and Zshell.

Usage

• Ctrl-space: search for commands that match the current written string in the command-line.
• Ctrl-k (or marker mark): Bookmark a command.
• Ctrl-t: place the cursor at the next placeholder, identified by '{{anything}}'
• marker remove: remove a bookmark

You can customize key binding using environment variables, respectively with MARKER_KEY_GET, MARKER_KEY_MARK and MARKER_KEY_NEXT_PLACEHOLDER.

Requirements

• python (2.7+ or 3.0+)
• Bash-4.3+ or Zshell.
• Linux Or OSX

Note:

In OSX, it seems like Bash 3.x is the default shell which is not supported. you have to update your Bash to 4.3+ or change your shell to zshell in order to use Marker.
