This is useful if I want to edit a script but I'm not in my scripts
directory. It will look for a file with the name I have typed and
replace it.
for example:
vim yt<^n>
will be replaced with
vim /home/jonathan/.bin/yt
The script will first try `which <filename>`, searching the path. If
that fails, it will do `locate "*/filename"` which will search for the
file elsewhere
The alt-m key binding is used to create a directory for the current
"word". This change makes it work if it has something like ~ in the
name.
${~var} is used to turn on GLOB_SUBST. The string resulting from the
expansion will be interpreted as a pattern anywhere that is possible,
such as filenames expanding `~`
man zshexpn
For some reason ctrl+x ctrl+e has stopped working. I think it is
probably related to the use of suckless scroll. This uses ctrl+e which
is interpreted as a scroll.
For now though, using ctrl+x is fine
