Marker is a command palette for the terminal. It lets you bookmark commands (or commands templates) and easily retreive them with the help of a real-time fuzzy matcher.
It's also shipped with many commands common usage (thanks to tldr).
After installation, all commands have to be stored in the folder ~/.local/share/marker/, including the tldr commands.
All new commands, bookmarked with Ctrl-k will be stored in the file /.local/share/marker/bookmarked_commands.txt.
- A UI selector that lets you easily select the desired command if more than one command is matched.
- Fuzzy matching (through commands and their descriptions).
- Command template that allows to bookmark commands with place-holders and place the cursor at those place-holders using a keyboard shortcut.
- Portability across supported shells: you can use bookmarked commands in both Bash and Zshell.
Ctrl-space: Search for commands that match the current written string in the command-lineCtrl-k(ormarker add): Bookmark a commandCtrl-t: Place the cursor at the next placeholder, identified by '{{anything}}'Ctrl-g: Copy to clipboard you just selected - it requires xsel installed
You can customize key binding using environment variables, respectively with MARKER_KEY_GET, MARKER_KEY_MARK, MARKER_KEY_NEXT_PLACEHOLDER and MARKER_KEY_COPY.

##Note: I have not tested this forked version on macOS. The original version of the tool, however, mentioned that: in OSX, it seems like Bash 3.x is the default shell which is not supported. you have to update your Bash to 4.3+ or change your shell to zshell in order to use Marker.
