To see the names of apps that are currently running, both for focus/launch and for the context header: help scope, then look under miscellaneous

mimic: to say a talon command:

hug <phrase>$:    mimic("chuck leading " + phrase)

To activate a Office ribbon menu, instead of using alt, use f10: key fine ten.

  • zap : key("backspace:{number}")
  • workspace : key("ctrl-{number}")
cube {user.kubectl_action} [{user.kubectl_object}]:
   insert("kubectl {kubectl_action} ")
   insert(kubectl_object or "")

  • error log

  • zap: key(backspace), killed: key(delete), zoom: pageup/pagedown

zap : key("backspace:{number}")

contexts. Note also that our list (like user defined actions) is prefixed with user. to identify it as custom code.

exceptions.talon:

exception {user.exception_class}: insert(user.exception_class)
  • Adding list into insert: some_command : insert("command {text}\n")
  • shuffle control : insert("key(ctlr-{letter})")
  • curl Tab 3: key(“tab:3”)
  • go tab : key(number)
  • select all: key(ctrl-a)
  • sleep(100ms)
  • (pace paste) all
  • press : key(keys) # NOTE: is it key or keys?
  • NOTE: knausj tends not to use a key directly, since different platforms use different keys; if you are doing it for yourself you can just use whatever works for you

Sample keys:

  • swap: key(alt-tab)

## Context

  • app: Outlook
  • other Common apps: Slack
  • App names: I think registry.decls.apps, but please do not use that in business logic in code, the registry is only available for debugging purposes
  • App names: I think registry.decls.apps, but please do not use that in business logic in code, the registry is only available for debugging purposes
  • title: /gmail/

Troubleshooting

  • start with sim(“say function round”) in the repl to see which rule is matching
mod.list("git_command", desc="Git commands.")
mod.list("git_argument", desc="Command-line git options and arguments.")

dirpath = Path(__file__).parent
arguments_csv_path = str(dirpath / "git_arguments.csv")
commands_csv_path = str(dirpath / "git_commands.csv")
