Config Snippets

Completions

Caching completions (Bash)

For completions that take too long to be calculated on the fly, the following snippet can generate .cache files (simple text files that contain output in the exact same way as completions generate it).

[[completion]]
type="command"
trigger="cache (.*?) (.*)"
command="""echo 'rrun completions {1} "{2}" > ~/.config/rrun/{1}_{2}.cache\tCache completions for {1} {2}'"""

If rrun itself is not in the PATH specify the absolute path to it like this echo '/path/to/rrun completions ... Once you have added the above completion, type something like the following in rrun to perform the caching

cache the_completion_type the_query_to_cache

Using cached completions (Bash)

You can use the code from a completion and store the STDOUT output to a .cache file somewhere (preferrably in your ~/.config/rrun directory). Then use a snippet like the following to use the cached results:

[[completion]]
type="url"
command="cat ~/.config/rrun/url*.cache | grep -i {}"
trigger="u (.*)"

Google with Search-Completion (Ruby)

[[completion]]
type="url"
trigger="g (.*)"
command='''
ruby -r uri -r net/http -r json -e '
q = "{}"
q_quoted = URI.escape(q)
suggestions = [q] + JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&q=#{q_quoted}"))).last
puts suggestions.map {|s| s_quoted = URI.escape(s); "https://www.google.com/search?q=#{s_quoted}\tGoogle for #{s}"}.join("\n")'
'''

Chrome Bookmark completion (Ruby)

Requires the jsonpath gem to be available in your ruby installation (gem install jsonpath).

[[completion]]
type="url"
trigger="url (.*)"
command='''
ruby -r json -r jsonpath -e'
bookmarks_hash = JSON.parse(File.read(File.expand_path("~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Bookmarks", Dir.home)))
children = JsonPath.new("$..children").on(bookmarks_hash).flatten
selector = "{}"
urls = children.select {|c| c.include?("name") && c.include?("url")}.map {|c| [c["url"],c["name"]]}
puts urls.map {|c| c.join("\t")}.grep(/#{selector}/i).join("\n")'

German-English translation using dict.leo.org (Ruby)

[[completion]]
type="url"
trigger="de (.*)"
command='''
ruby -r uri -r net/http -r json -e '
q = "{}"
q_quoted = URI.escape(q)
suggestions = JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("http://dict.leo.org/dictQuery/m-query/conf/ende/query.conf/strlist.json?q=#{q_quoted}&sort=PLa&shortQuery&noDescription&sideInfo=on&where=0&term=#{q_quoted}")))[0..-2].flatten
puts suggestions.map {|s| s_quoted = URI.escape(s); "http://dict.leo.org/ende/index_de.html#/search=#{s_quoted}\tDE-EN for #{s}"}.join("\n")'
