Neal Stephenson spins a yarn about the mystical, near-fantasy world of command lines, where Apple and Microsoft are portrayed as tech sorcerers. 🧙‍♂️✨ Who knew selling invisible software could be more magical than selling blinking boxes? 💾🔮

How to use kitty to "edit" the output of the last command in $EDITOR or copy it to the clipboard:

map kitty_mod+a>e launch --type=overlay --stdin-source=@last_cmd_output zsh -ic 'nvim -R </dev/stdin'
map kitty_mod+a>v launch --type=overlay --stdin-source=@last_cmd_output zsh -ic 'wl-copy/pbcopy </dev/stdin'

(kitty_mod mean Control+Shift)

this is for vim/neovim but use emacsclient -nw for emacs or whatever else rock your boat

Even on Linux-based operating systems, one can get strnvisx() and strunvis(), which solves that problem, should one choose to have it in the first place.

When someone does, I shall enjoy mucking that nice straight line between two points up with a third point to fit, being 16-bit OS/2's limit of 32KiB in 1987. (-:

Also available for 40 years as (and I wonder whether @ska remembers this same solution to the same problem),

command @filename.txt

The coincidence of 127 characters and 128KiB is amusing. Someone is bound to plot those two data points and draw a trend line. (-:

Oh, yeah… Quand l’Invite de commandes de #Windows peut faire des choses bien, j’adore ! 😍

I enjoy using @atuin to sync my computers #zsh history but i am not sure why i don't quite get the interactive part (probably because of not having the full #emacs keybinding)

but it's flexible enough to be able to use fzf with it directly:

atuin search|fzf --with-nth=3..-2 +s

maybe i'll extend it to make it insert via #zsh zle to my command line directly
