Sqish

Rust Shell. This is an attempt to create a simple shell in Rust, because why not.

TODO:

• Aliases don't currently handle arguments. My alias "vless" does not work with "vless lib.rs"
• A shortcut / implemented command to show all Hotkeys
• git commit -m "message" does not work
• Impossible to grep history / maybe implement Ctrl+R ?
• Can't cd to a directory containing spaces in its name

sqishrc (Config)

See the included sqishrc.yaml.example file included, and copy it as ~/.sqishrc.yaml

Built-in shortcuts

As Hotkeys

Some shortcuts are built in. They may be unique to Sqish or be copied from Zsh for example.

• Ctrl+Q or Ctrl+D : Quits the shell immediatly
• Ctrl+U : Clears currently written line
• Alt+. : Appends the last word from previous command
• Ctrl+A : Jumps to the end of the line
• Ctrl+E : Jumps to the start of the line
• Ctrl+C : Clears the current line and starts a new one

In Text:

• !12 : Reruns command number 12 from history (Replace the number with anything)
• !! : Appends the previous command to the current line
