Customize Snipkit

Also have a look at fzf to get an understanding of how to customize Snipkit even more to fit your needs.

Alias

Always typing the full name snipkit in order to open the manager might be too cumbersome for you. Instead, define an alias (e.g. in your .zshrc file):

# SnipKit alias
sn () {
  snipkit exec
}

Then you can just type sn instead of snipkit to open SnipKit.

Inline command for ZSH

The print -z command in Zsh is used to push a command onto the Zsh input buffer, which effectively allows you to simulate typing a command into the terminal.

The specified command appears as if you had typed it at the prompt, but it's not executed immediately; instead, it waits for you to press Enter. This can be used as an alternative to SnipKit confirmation mechanism (via the --confirm flag). For ease of convenience, define another alias:

# SnipKit alias
sn () {
  print -z $(snipkit print)
}

Default Root Command

Most of the time, you want to call the same subcommand, e.g. print or exec. You can configure snipkit so that this command gets executed by default by editing the config:

Example:

# snipkit config edit 
defaultRootCommand: "exec"

With this setup, calling sn will yield the same result as snipkit exec. If you want to call the print command instead, type sn print.
