mtoyoda / sl Goto Github PK

I will never be able to (properly) use ls again. Just want to see the little train go. Choo-choo!

Sometimes I misspell sl, and the list of dirs/files appears, which could even be useful, but.... I'm now considering to symlink ls to this, so I will not miss the little train.

Choo-coo!

Use-cases

A person mistypes vim

Attempted Solutions

I ran cim:

$ cim
bash: cim: command not found

Proposal

Running brew install sl could also suggest installing cim

cim isn't a thing yet - but maybe it should?

I'd like to ask Ubuntu package maintainer to update sl from 3.03 to 5.00.
It is better to add release tag to commit.

Package maintainer always see only a release not commit log.

Ubuntu　Linuxディストリビューションのパッケージメンテナに、バージョンアップを提言したいが、リリースタグが打たれていないので、５．００バージョンのリファレンスがない。
通常、パッケージは、リリースをベースにするので、アップデートされない。
タグをうって欲しい。

Hi,

I noticed that executing sl with l flag did the same locomotive as lc flags.
I thought it was a bit sad since you can combine others flags without any problem.

Request summary: Second command to cure the habit of typing sud o<command>
Overall idea: small bubbles appear, possibly around the command typed, as if cleaning them (with soap suds)

Maybe an "-n num" option can be added, that will make number of coaches of a train equal to num?

How about to make sl by using only escape sequences?
It must make the size of sl program smaller and makes sl without ncurses.

Does the license allow the distribution of modified code?

can the developer add a whistle sound to sl?
(this is an enhancement request)

I tried doing the make command to compile the program but it outputs this error, any help?

gcc -O -Wall -o sl sl.c -lncurses
sl.c:41:10: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
   41 | #include <curses.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:15: sl] Error 1

Description

When executing the command sl -1000 -w, the output displays a segmentation fault indicating a possible memory access error.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the terminal.
2. Run the command sl -1000 -w.
3. Observe the output.

Screenshot

Under the man page it states: It rarely shows contents of current directory.

This implies that under some conditions it is possible to display the contents of the current directory. This is a very critical issue!

I was hoping to snap (http://snapcraft.io/) this, but it needs an install target. This is fixed by #17 - Is there any chance this can be merged in?

We really missed that feature when trying out this awesome program.

As title.

If you give parameters like sl --help you can escape the train with CTRL+C
@StackNeverFlow and @xVoiceSyntax

In french "sl" is the pronounciation for "aisselle". Armpit.
when the locale is french, sl should display an armpit.

sl -[cars] attaches that number of cars to the train. sl -G displays a French TGV train. However sl -[cars] -G displays the TGV train correctly, but only attaches 1 car regardless of the number specified.

Hi! I am a long time user of sl, or rather, I had sl installed for a long time, but almost never use it. Due to my typical typing habits, sl doesn't seem to be a common result of mistyping ls for me.

However, I have noticed, that I seem to mistype ls as lsd quite often, but this has the unfortunate effect of just displaying a boring error message:

$ lsd
fish: Unknown command: lsd

This is always very disappointing. I'm sure there would be tons options for making great graphical effects suitable for an lsd command. Personally I don't have much experience to say which graphical effects might be fitting, but by asking around, I was able to collect the following suggestions:

• bicycles
• colors
• stars
• flying ice cream {waffles,hot dogs,candies}
• Train should be misaligned and a little wonky
• going up und down like here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvvd-9azD1M

Thank you for your consideration! I'm sure adding this feature would greatly enhance the utility of this package for me and maybe for others with similar typing habits as me.

I have forked this repo and merged some of the PRs I found the most interesting and relevant.
If you feel like anything else should be included or changed, please do make an issue with the fork and or do a new PR!

here

Thanks!

This version doesn't have this option like the one on Debian based distros.

1. sl
2. Ctrl Z

Can I get the source image that the train was designed from?

There are so many PR and issue comments, but no response from author now.
It is not just a toy program but a common asset with many love for any operators.

Do you plan to move it to be maintained by team?

There are still enable to use group name https://github.com/team-sl/

Many users and developers may help maintain and stand for maintainer.

Hello,
I found that Ctrl-z signal is not handled, so I can put SL in background.
It is not very good for curing my bad habits.

Bye.
