Awesome Linux Utilities

DevastatorIIC happened to link me to this today, which I found to be extremely helpful. It’s a collection of small perl scripts that make doing very complicated things very easy. My personal favorite is vipe, which lets you edit a pipeline with vi in the middle of its execution. Another is vidir, which lets you edit the contents of a directory with vi. Beautiful.

Not a sandwich, but a Vim Which!

I often find myself going to find scripts I’ve written that I want to edit, but I decided today I’d make things easier on myself:


hank@rura-penthe ~ $ cat bin/vimwhich 
#!/bin/bash
vim `which $1`

All this does is shorten vim `which myscript` to vimwhich myscript. Helpful for just a couple lines of code.
