I don't know whether this correlates with the idea behind tldr, but I was wondering if there could be a feature where I search for a command usage normally I used to in tldr (For example: I type the command
tldr nmap
, assuming each example for that command has a number) and the cursor keeps waiting for an input, and this input should be asking for a number i.e. if I wanna type any of the example command shown instead of typing it out I can use the number and hit Enter so that the specific command(nmap
) example for the given number automatically gets populated with the text in the typing area and only type out the{{variable}}
part and cycle through them with the Tab key if multiple{{variables}}
are present.Below is a mockup I created for the above example. I haven't created one for the Tab cycling thing I mentioned but hope the following makes sense. Also, some additions have to be done for commands like
nmap
that needsudo
as a prefix to use certain flags.I've added numbers (1), (2) for each example shown for the command
nmap
:User enters number (1) and hit the ENTER Key:
Here user would type the
{{ip_or_hostname}}
variable part and again hits ENTER key:Command getting executed normally in the terminal:
