KDE Tip: universal text filter
Par Jérôme Pouiller le mardi, février 16 2010, 10:07 - Technique - Lien permanent
KDE SC 4.4 has a Plasma widget allowing to pate output of some commands.
Using xclip
, I can get content of current clipboard. So it is possible to add a macro to sort current selected text:
%{exec(bash -c "xclip -o | sort")}
Better, I can ask to user what command he wants to apply:
%{exec(bash -c "xclip -o | $(kdialog --inputbox 'Command?' 'wc -c')")}
Now, I can filter text in any applications: Firefox, OpenOffice, Kmail....
Only one problem, I can yet assign a shortcut to this action.
