msgid "Previous solution"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"I previously used [yeganesh](http://dmwit.com/yeganesh/) fill this gap, but "
"as I started to rely less on Emacs, I added fzf as my go-to tool for doing "
"fuzzy searching on the terminal. But I didn't like that fzf always showed "
"the same order of things, when I would only need 3 or 4 commonly used files."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"For those who don't know: yeganesh is a wrapper around dmenu that will "
"remember your most used programs and put them on the beginning of the list "
"of executables. This is very convenient for interactive prolonged use, as "
"with time the things you usually want are right at the very beginning."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"But now I had this thing, yeganesh, that solved this problem for dmenu, but "
"didn't for fzf."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"I initially considered patching yeganesh to support it, but I found it more "
"coupled to dmenu than I would desire. I'd rather have something that knows "
"nothing about dmenu, fzf or anything, but enhances tools like those in a "
"useful way."
msgstr ""

msgid "Implementation"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"Other than being decoupled from dmenu, another improvement I though that "
"could be made on top of yeganesh is the programming language choice. Instead"
" of Haskell, I went with POSIX sh. Sticking to POSIX sh makes it require "
"less build-time dependencies. There aren't any, actually. Packaging is made "
"much easier due to that."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"The good thing is that the program itself is small enough ([119 "
"lines](https://git.euandreh.xyz/remembering/tree/remembering?id=v0.1.0) on "
"v0.1.0) that POSIX sh does the job just fine, combined with other POSIX "
"utilities such as "
"[getopts](http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/getopts.html),"
" [sort](http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sort.html) "
"and "
"[awk](http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/awk.html)."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"The behaviour is: given a program that will read from STDIN and write a "
"single entry to STDOUT, `remembering` wraps that program, and rearranges "
"STDIN so that previous choices appear at the beginning."
msgstr ""

msgid "Where you would do:"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"$ seq 5 | fzf\n"
"\n"
"  5\n"
"  4\n"
"  3\n"
"  2\n"
"> 1\n"
"  5/5\n"
">\n"
msgstr ""

msgid "And every time get the same order of numbers, now you can write:"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"$ seq 5 | remembering -p seq-fzf -c fzf\n"
"\n"
"  5\n"
"  4\n"
"  3\n"
"  2\n"
"> 1\n"
"  5/5\n"
">\n"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"On the first run, everything is the same. If you picked 4 on the previous "
"example, the following run would be different:"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"$ seq 5 | remembering -p seq-fzf -c fzf\n"
"\n"
"  5\n"
"  3\n"
"  2\n"
"  1\n"
"> 4\n"
"  5/5\n"
">\n"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"As time passes, the list would adjust based on the frequency of your "
"choices."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"I aimed for reusability, so that I could wrap diverse commands with "
"`remembering` and it would be able to work. To accomplish that, a "
"\"profile\" (the `-p something` part) stores data about different runs "
"separately."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"I took the idea of building something small with few dependencies to other "
"places too:"
msgstr ""

msgid "the man pages are written in troff directly;"
msgstr ""

msgid "the tests are just more POSIX sh files;"
msgstr ""

msgid "and a POSIX Makefile to `check` and `install`."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"I was aware of the value of sticking to coding to standards, but I had past "
"experience mostly with programming language standards, such as ECMAScript, "
"Common Lisp, Scheme, or with IndexedDB or DOM APIs. It felt good to "
"rediscover these nice POSIX tools, which makes me remember of a quote by "
"[Henry Spencer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Spencer#cite_note-3):"
msgstr ""

msgid "Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly."
msgstr ""

msgid "Usage examples"
msgstr ""

msgid "Here are some functions I wrote myself that you may find useful:"
msgstr ""

msgid "Run a command with fzf on `$PWD`"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"f() {\n"
"  profile=\"$f-shell-function(pwd | sed -e 's_/_-_g')\"\n"

"  \"$1\" \"$file\"\n"
"fi\n"
"}\n"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"This way I can run `f vi` or `f vi config` at the root of a repository, and "
"the list of files will always appear on the most used order. Adding `pwd` to"
" the profile allows it to not mix data for different repositories."

msgid "Replacing yeganesh"
msgstr ""

msgid "Where I previously had:"
msgstr ""

msgid "exe=$(yeganesh -x) && exec $exe\n"
msgstr ""

msgid "Now I have:"
msgstr ""

msgid "exe=$(dmenu_path | remembering -p dmenu-exec -c dmenu) && exec $exe\n"
msgstr ""

msgid "This way, the executables appear on order of usage."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"If you don't have `dmenu_path`, you can get just the underlying `stest` tool"
" that looks at the executables available in your `$PATH`. Here's a juicy "
"one-liner to do it:"

"    cc -xc - -o stest\n"
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"With the `stest` utility you'll be able to list executables in your `$PATH` "

msgid "Conclusion"

msgid ""
"For my personal use, I've packaged `remembering` for [GNU "

"nixpkgs/remembering.nix?id=0831444f745cf908e940407c3e00a61f6152961f). "
"Packaging it to any other distribution should be trivial, or just "
"downloading the tarball and running `[sudo] make install`."
