Flag which would allow `s` to return URL
aksr opened this issue · comments
It would be nice if s could return URL.
Something like this could be useful:
firefox --new-tab "$(s -u -p wikipedia rhinos)"
(-u or -r or whatever you think is better)
There are other examples.
What do you think?
Best regards.
I think this is a good idea. I will look into it.
Note you can already customize the binary and flags with -b... so you can do:
s -b "firefox --new-tab" -p wikipedia rhinos
Then you can alias that as a new command like alias sft='s -b "firefox --new-tab"'
Yes, I know, thank you. (but for some reason the above example doesn't work)
Still, I think returning url isn't a bad idea—especially if you're using it with pipes.
I went ahead and added an output only mode. You can pass -o to only output the URL now. Good suggestion. =)
Also you could have hacked it in before by changing the binary to echo. That's what I use for testing, but now I can just use the flag. =)
New 0.5.7 release has this option and is building now. =)
Thank you. ;)
