i'd like to talk about possible kinds of commands.
to recap:
you will be able to define regular expression masks for command aliases, which will allow you to present a list of "commands" that match a string.
in the simplest case you would have a simple alias like:
"mynotes" which launches "c:\program\files\ultraedit.exe d:\mynotes.txt"
in more complicated cases you could have a command alias like
s (.*),(.*)
which would match
s taxes 100
and present a list of 5 options like
google search |
http://www.google.com?s=$1?returnmatches=$2
yahoo search |
http://www.yahoo.com?s=$1?returnmatches=$2
you get the idea.
but maybe it would be nice to add some extra kinds of functions besides just launching programs and websites.
for example clipboard pasting.
so you could have alias
"paste"
with the following entries
date | PASTE %currentdate%
time | PASTE %currenttime%
you get the idea. so you using a program, you hit break key to launch f&r, type "paste"
and up comes two entries in result box:
1. date
2. time
you select the one you want and it closes and pastes it in your app.
any other ideas?
