Linux(Debian Stretch)でTexpander(TextExpanderのようなスニペットツール)を使ってみた
仕事の関係もあり、普段使っているマシンはMacBookPro15で、スニペットツールとしてTypinatorを利用しています。
macのスニペットツールでググると
TextExpander、Alfred、Dash、など、いろいろなアプリがありますよね。
macにはいろいろなスニペットツールがあるのですが、Linuxでは選択肢が少ないと思います。
勉強用に使っているDebianでも、スニペットツールを使いたいなと思い、色々と調べたのでメモとして書いておきます。
Linuxのスニペットツール
TextExpanderの代わりになるアプリをググると、alternativeToというサイトがよくでてきます。
おそらく、以下が定番なんでしょう。
色々と試してみた
-
AutoKeyは、Pythonで書かれているので、Pythonができる方はおすすめ。
-
xdotoolは、X11の操作をコマンドで操作できるコマンドのようです。
# As of version 2.20100623, you can do this simpler version of above:
xdotool search "Mozilla Firefox" windowactivate --sync key --clearmodifiers ctrl+l
このコマンドを実行するとFirefoxをアクティブにして、ctrl+lを入力する状態にできます。
xdotoolは、Texpander内でも利用されています。
- Texpanderは、シェルスクリプトなので、カスタマイズが簡単にできるところが良いです！
というころで、今回は、Texpanderを使うことにしました！
Texpanderを使ってみる
作者の方のブログを読めば分かりますが、一応…

必要なコマンドをインストールする
sudo apt install xsel
sudo apt install xdotool
sudo apt install zenity
clone
Downloadsにcloneしてみます。

texpander.shをすきな場所におく
home/user/bin/にtexpander.sh をおく。
~/binがなければ作成してください。
Downloads $ cp texpander/texpander.sh ~/bin/
.texpanderを作成しテストファイルをおく
Downloads $ cd
~ $ mkdir .texpander
~ $ echo 'test' > .texpander/test.txt
ショートカットを設定する
作者の方と同じようにショートカットを設定します。
一部修正した
$HOMEの部分を修正した。
# If ~/.texpander directory does not exist, create it
if [ ! -d ${$HOME}/.texpander ]; then
mkdir ${$HOME}/.texpander
fi
修正後
# If ~/.texpander directory does not exist, create it
if [ ! -d ${HOME}/.texpander ]; then
mkdir ${HOME}/.texpander
fi
シェルスクリプトを見てみる
一部を抜粋してます…
以下のスクリプトを見てわかるとおり、かなりシンプルなため…
name=$(zenity --list --title=Texpander --width=275 --height=400 --column=Abbreviations $abbrvs)
path="${base_dir}/${name}"
if [ -f "${base_dir}/${name}" ]
then
if [ -e "$path" ]
then
# Preserve the current value of the clipboard
clipboard=$(xsel -b -o)
# Put text in primary buffer for Shift+Insert pasting
echo -n "$(cat "$path")" | xsel -p -i
# Put text in clipboard selection for apps like Firefox that
# insist on using the clipboard for all pasting
echo -n "$(cat "$path")" | xsel -b -i
# Paste text into current active window
sleep 0.3
xdotool key shift+Insert
ファイルが.shと.goの場合の条件を追加してみた
name=$(zenity --list --title=Texpander --width=275 --height=400 --column=Abbreviations $abbrvs)
path="${base_dir}/${name}"
if [ -f "${base_dir}/${name}" ]
then
if [ -e "$path" ]
then
# Preserve the current value of the clipboard
clipboard=$(xsel -b -o)
# get ext from path
ext=$(echo $path | sed 's/^.*\.\([^\.]*\)$/\1/')
# check ext
if [ $ext = "sh" ]; then
bash $(echo $path) | xsel -p -i
bash $(echo $path) | xsel -b -i
elif [ $ext = "go" ]; then
go run $(echo $path) | xsel -p -i
go run $(echo $path) | xsel -b -i
else
# Put text in primary buffer for Shift+Insert pasting
echo -n "$(cat "$path")" | xsel -p -i
# Put text in clipboard selection for apps like Firefox that
# insist on using the clipboard for all pasting
echo -n "$(cat "$path")" | xsel -b -i
fi
# Paste text into current active window
sleep 0.3
xdotool key shift+Insert
使ってみる
こんな感じで使えます。

SYNOPSIS
zenity [options]
DESCRIPTION
zenity is a program that will display GTK+ dialogs, and return (either in the return code, or on standard output) the users input. This allows you to present information, and ask for information

色々と叩いてみる
--listのオプションを指定してみる。
~ $ zenity --list --title=Texpander --width=275 --height=400 --column="no" --column="Abbreviations" --separator="|" --text=STRING --multiple --print-column=ALL 1 "aaa" 2 "bbb"
どうでしょうか。
ダイアログはこんな感じです。
--separator="|"と--multipleを指定して、2つを選択してるためか、出力はこんな感じです。
~ $ 1|aaa|2|bbb
別のオプションを指定してみる。
--editableと--column="param"を追加してみました。
~ $ zenity --list --title=Texpander --width=275 --height=400 --column="no" --column="Abbreviations" --column="param" --editable --separator="|" --text=STRING --multiple --print-column=ALL 1 "aaa" "" 2 "bbb" ""
~ $ 1|aaa|引数を
やろうと思えば、任意の文字列を渡せそうです。
zenityは、list以外にも色々とあるので、いじってみます。
