#+TITLE: Custom Scripts #+setupfile: headers #+PROPERTY: header-args :exports code #+PROPERTY: header-args:emacs-lisp :exports none :tangle no * Custom Scripts This file will present all the executable scripts I wrote. It is also their original source code, all the following code snippets are exported and tangled from this file to the actual executables. ** Autostart :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/autostart :END: Because I sometimes switch from window manager to window manager, creating a script that handles by itself autostarting things for me is way easier than rewriting every time the autostart part of my configuration. As you can every instance will be launched asynchronously, and only if there is no other instance of said command running. #+NAME: autostart-table | Command | Arguments | Run once? | |----------------------+------------------------------------------+-----------| | ~pactl~ | ~load-module module-switch-on-connect~ | | | ~mpc~ | ~stop~ | no | | ~xrdb~ | ~-merge "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/X11/Xresources~ | no | | ~picom~ | | yes | | ~numlockx~ | ~on~ | yes | | ~xfce-polkit~ | | yes | | ~nm-applet~ | | yes | | ~xwallpaper~ | ~--zoom "$(cat "$HOME"/.cache/wallpaper)"~ | no | | ~xss-lock~ | ~plock~ | yes | | ~/usr/lib/kdeconnectd~ | | yes | | ~dunst~ | | yes | #+NAME: autostart-gen #+header: :wrap "src bash :exports code" #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var table=autostart-table :cache yes (mapconcat (lambda (start-command) (let* ((clean-string (lambda (str) (replace-regexp-in-string "~" "" str))) (command (funcall clean-string (nth 0 start-command))) (arguments (funcall clean-string (nth 1 start-command))) (oncep (string= "yes" (nth 2 start-command))) (full-command (replace-regexp-in-string " +" " " (format "%s %s &" command arguments)))) (concat (format "which %s && %s" command (if (not oncep) full-command (format (concat "if pgrep -x %s ; then\n" " echo %s already running\n" "else\n" " %s\n" " disown\n" "fi") command command full-command)))))) table "\n") #+END_SRC #+RESULTS[8c42a43989020c61050b2930ae60c81248c2dd44]: autostart-gen #+begin_src bash :exports code which pactl && pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect & which mpc && mpc stop & which xrdb && xrdb -merge "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/X11/Xresources & which picom && if pgrep -x picom ; then echo picom already running else picom & disown fi which numlockx && if pgrep -x numlockx ; then echo numlockx already running else numlockx on & disown fi which xfce-polkit && if pgrep -x xfce-polkit ; then echo xfce-polkit already running else xfce-polkit & disown fi which nm-applet && if pgrep -x nm-applet ; then echo nm-applet already running else nm-applet & disown fi which xwallpaper && xwallpaper --zoom "$(cat "$HOME"/.cache/wallpaper)" & which xss-lock && if pgrep -x xss-lock ; then echo xss-lock already running else xss-lock plock & disown fi which /usr/lib/kdeconnectd && if pgrep -x /usr/lib/kdeconnectd ; then echo /usr/lib/kdeconnectd already running else /usr/lib/kdeconnectd & disown fi which dunst && if pgrep -x dunst ; then echo dunst already running else dunst & disown fi #+end_src I also have an external sound card, a Scarlet 2i2 G3, that I would like to use as my default audio output.

You can see its source code here: #+BEGIN_SRC sh cp -r "$1" "$1.bak.$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)" #+END_SRC *** CPU Scaling :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/cpu-scaling :END: As I am using a laptop, maximum performance isn’t always what I want. Sometimes, it’s just better to have not so great but less battery-demanding performance. It is possible to achieve this by modifying the CPU governor with ~cpupower~. The [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#Scaling_governors][Arch Wiki]] has, as usual, some superb documentation on this. The following script asks the user through ~rofi~ which governor to apply, and it relies on [[file:./scripts.md#askpass][askpass]] to retrieve the user’s password. #+begin_src bash governors=("performance" "powersave" "userspace" "ondemand" "conservative" "schedutil") governor=$(printf "%s\n" "${governors[@]}" | rofi -dmenu) sudo -A cpupower frequency-set -g "$governor" #+end_src *** docker-running :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :tangle ~/.local/bin/docker-running :END: As with =mu-unread= below, =docker-running= is a small and simple utility for my StumpWM configuration which indicates how many Docker containers are currently running. #+begin_src sh NB_CONTAINERS=$(docker ps -q | wc -l | tr -d '\n') printf "^f3^f0 %d" $NB_CONTAINERS #+end_src *** Kamoji Generator :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :tangle ~/.local/bin/kamoji :END: This script comes straight from [[https://charm.sh/blog/kamoji-generator/][this blog post]] and generates kamoji. I modified it a bit in order to work with either =xclipboard= or =wl-copy= depending on whether I am in an X.org session or a Wayland session. Note that it requires the =OPENAI_API_KEY= environment variable to be set with a valid OpenAI key. #+begin_src bash # If the user passes '-h', '--help', or 'help' print out a little bit # of help. text. case "$1" in "-h" | "--help" | "help") printf 'Generate kaomojis on request.\n\n' printf 'Usage: %s [kind]\n' "$(basename "$0")" exit 1 ;; esac # The user can pass an argument like "bear" or "angry" to specify the # general kind of Kaomoji produced. sentiment="" if [[ $1 != "" ]]; then sentiment=" $1" fi # Ask mods to generate Kaomojis. Save the output in a variable. kaomoji="$(mods "generate 10${sentiment} kaomojis. Number them and put each one on its own line.")" if [[ $kaomoji == "" ]]; then exit 1 fi # Pipe mods output to gum, so the user can choose the perfect kaomoji. # Save that choice in a variable. Also note that we're using cut to # drop the item number in front of the Kaomoji. choice="$(echo "$kaomoji" | gum choose | cut -d ' ' -f 2)" if [[ $choice == "" ]]; then exit 1 fi # If the current session is Wayland, copy with wl-copy, otherwise copy # with xclipboard if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ] then printf '%s' "$choice" | wl-copy # Wayland else printf '%s' "$choice" | xclip -sel clip # X11 fi # We're done! printf 'Copied %s to the clipboard\n' "$choice" #+end_src *** mu-unread :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :tangle ~/.local/bin/mu-unread :END: ~mu-unread~ is a very simple utility that simply returns the amount of unread emails I have through the use of ~mu~. As you can see, the output string contains two font switchers for StumpWM so I can switch from the main font to Siji for the character contained between them: U+E072 (an email icon). #+begin_src sh UNREAD=$(mu find "flag:unread AND (maildir:/Inbox OR maildir:/Junk)" | wc -l) printf "^f2^f0%s" "$UNREAD" #+end_src *** screenshot :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/screenshot :END: This is a utility only useful with Wayland for now, using =grim=, =slurp= (in order to select which area of the screen I wish to capture) and =wl-copy= (from =wl-clipboard=). It saves the screenshot in my =$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots= directory with a name formatted as =Screenshot_20230425_134550.png= if the screenshot was taken on the 25th of April 2023 at 1:45:50PM. If the file already exists, the script will suffix the name with an underscore followed by an incremental number like =Screenshot_20230425_134550_1.png= or =Screenshot_20230425_134550_2.png=. If the argument =select= is passed to =screenshot=, as in =screenshot select=, then use =slurp= to select the area to capture. #+begin_src sh OUTFILE_BASE="$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot_$(date +%Y%m%d)_$(date +%H%M%S)" OUTFILE="$OUTFILE_BASE.png" SUFFIX=0 while getopts ':cd:egs' OPTION; do case "$OPTION" in c ) COPY="yes" ;; d ) DELAY="$OPTARG" ;; e ) EDIT="yes" ;; g ) GIMP="yes" ;; s ) SELECT="yes" ;; ? ) echo "Usage: $(basename "$0") [-c] [-d DELAY] [-e] [-g] [-s]" exit 1 ;; esac done if [ "$SELECT" = "yes" ] then AREA="$(slurp)" fi if [ -n "$DELAY" ] then sleep "$DELAY" fi if [ "$SELECT" = "yes" ] then grim -g "$AREA" "$OUTFILE" else grim "$OUTFILE" fi if [ "$EDIT" = "yes" ] then swappy -f "$OUTFILE" -o "$OUTFILE" fi if [ "$GIMP" = "yes" ] then gimp "$OUTFILE" fi if [ "$COPY" = "yes" ] then wl-copy < "$OUTFILE" fi # wl-copy < "$OUTFILE" #+end_src *** sshbind :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/sshbind :END: Something that I did not know for quite some time, but that is actually crazy useful about SSH is its ability to bind locally the port of a remote machine, and vice versa. The syntax is actually very simple, but I prefer a more intuitive way of writing it. Its usage is ~sshbind PORT FROMHOST TOHOST~. #+BEGIN_SRC sh ssh -L "$1:$3:$1" "$2" -N #+END_SRC *** Nsxiv key handler :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :mkdirp yes :tangle no :noweb yes :END: One thing I like with ~nsxiv~ is you can trigger different behaviours based on keypresses. For instance, with my current nsxiv configuration, if I press the space key followed by a character, it can delete to the trashcan, delete definitively, or open the current image in GIMP. All of that is done through one script file stored in ~$HOME/.config/nsxiv/exec/key-handler~. The fact it reacts to first thespace bar instead of /Ctrl-x/ is because I use a custom version of nsxiv I first modified to fit the bépo layout, and then I decided to change the prefix to fit how I use Emacs and StumpWM. You can read the PKGBUILD and my nsxiv patch [[https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/dotfiles/src/branch/master/Documents/code/PKGBUILDs/sxiv][in my dotfiles repo]]. #+header: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :tangle ~/.config/nsxiv/exec/key-handler #+begin_src fish <> <> #+end_src Here is a step by step explanation of the source code. First, we want to store in the variable ~FILES~ all the files marked in nsxiv. This is done with a ~while~ loop and the ~read~ command. #+name: nsxiv-read-files #+begin_src fish while read file set -g FILES "$file" $FILES end #+end_src We can then read from the first member of ~argv~ which key the user pressed. Depending on it, we can choose what to execute. #+name: nsxiv-switch-statement #+begin_src fish switch "$argv[1]" <> <> <> <> <> <> <> end #+end_src The first option with the letter ~d~ is to move the file to the trash can. For this, we use the ~trash~ command from ~trash-cli~. #+name: nsxiv-trash #+begin_src fish case "d" trash $FILES #+end_src In case we want to definitively delete a file without using the trash can, we can use ~rm~ instead when we press the ~D~ key. #+name: nsxiv-rm #+begin_src fish case "D" rm $FILES #+end_src It’s not rare I want to modify an image I have open in nsxiv, especially since screenshots are automatically open in this image viewer aften they are taken. In that case, a simple command will do. #+name: nsxiv-gimp #+begin_src fish case "g" gimp $FILES #+end_src Often, I use nsxiv to convert an image to a JPEG file, because my internet connection is not that great and JPEG screenshots are faster to upload than PNG screenshots. So what I do is for each file selected, I take the base name of the file (i.e. remove its extension), and then I use the ~convert~ command from ~imagemagik~ to convert it from its original format to a JPG format --- ~imagemagik~ detects the formats based on the extension. #+name: nsxiv-jpeg #+begin_src fish case "j" for f in $FILES set basename (echo "$f" | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//') convert "$f" "$basename.jpg" end #+end_src I have two commands to rotate my files, and both only differ by the angle of rotation. Once again I rely on ~convert~ in both cases. To rotate clockwise, this is the code needed. #+name: nsxiv-rotate-clockwise #+begin_src fish case "r" for f in $FILES convert -rotate 90 "$f" "$f" end #+end_src On the other hand, to rotate counter-clockwise, we need this code: #+name: nsxiv-rotate-counter-clockwise #+begin_src fish case "R" for f in $FILES convert -rotate 270 "$f" "$f" end #+end_src Lastly, when I want to copy a file, I just hit the ~y~ key for “yank” (that’s a term from Emacs). For that, I rely on ~file~ to tell me the mimetype of the image, then I can pass it to ~xclip~ along with the filename to copy it to the clipboard. In this case, we only copy the first of the selected files since the clipboard cannot hold several files at once. #+name: nsxiv-yank #+begin_src fish case "y" set FILE "$FILES[1]" set TYPE (file -i "$FILE" | sed -r 's|.*(image/[a-z]+);.*|\1|') xclip -sel clip -t "$TYPE" -i "$FILE" #+end_src *** Secure key generator :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :tangle ~/.local/bin/skg :END: #+begin_src bash tr -cd '[:alnum:]' < /dev/urandom | fold -w 64 | head -n 1 | tr -d '\n' #+end_src *** Starwars :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/starwars :END: This is a one-liner that allows you to watch Star Wars episode 4 in ASCII art in your terminal. Here is the code: #+BEGIN_SRC sh telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl #+END_SRC ** Emacs stuff *** Dired :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/dired :END: This script allows me to open anything in dired from the command line. #+BEGIN_SRC bash emacsclient -c -a emacs -e "(dired \"$*\")" #+END_SRC *** Ediff :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/ediff :END: I want Ediff as my merge tool, not just with Git but with other programs tooa, such as =pacdiff=. #+begin_src bash emacsclient -c -a emacs -e "(ediff-files \"$1\" \"$2\")" #+end_src *** Emacsmail :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/emacsmail :END: This short script is used in my =~/.local/share/applications/mu4e.desktop= file in order to send to Emacs any ~mailto:~ requests made in my system. #+BEGIN_SRC bash emacsclient -c -n -a emacs -e "(browse-url-mail \"$*\")" #+END_SRC *** Restart Emacs :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/restart-emacs :END: Believe me or not, it happens I restart Emacs.

The script relies on ~dmenu~ (or ~rofi~ in dmenu-mode), ~youtube-dl~ and of course ~mpv~ itself. #+BEGIN_SRC bash URL=$(rofi -dmenu -i -p "Video URL") if [ -z "$URL" ]; then echo "You need to provide a URL" exit 1 fi RESOLUTION_CHOICE=$(yt-dlp --list-formats "$URL" | \ grep -E "webm.*[0-9]+x[0-9]" | \ awk '{print $3 " " $1}' | \ sort -gu | \ rofi -dmenu -i -p "Resolution") mapfile -t RESOLUTION <<< "$RESOLUTION_CHOICE" RESOLUTION_CODE=${RESOLUTION[0]} mpv --ytdl-format="${RESOLUTION_CODE}+bestaudio/best" "$URL" #+END_SRC I’ll even add a ~.desktop~ entry for this script: #+BEGIN_SRC conf-desktop :tangle ~/.local/share/applications/ytplay.desktop :mkdirp yes [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Version=1.0 Name=ytplay (YouTube in mpv) Comment=Play YouTube videos in mpv Exec=/home/phundrak/.local/bin/ytplay Path=/home/phundrak/.local/bin Terminal=false Categories=Media #+END_SRC ** Misc *** Broadway :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/broadway :END: This simple script launches broadwayd, a utility that renders GTK applications as web apps, and a program displayed to broadway directly. #+begin_src sh export display_screen=:5 broadwayd $display_screen & GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=$display_screen "$@" #+end_src But let’s cut the middleman for most of my uses of Broadway. #+begin_src sh :tangle ~/.local/bin/emacs-web export display_screen=:5 broadwayd $display_screen & GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=$display_screen emacs #+end_src ** Plock :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/plock :END: ~plock~ is a simple script that locks the screen with ~i3lock~ while setting as the background image of the locked screen a corrupted screenshot of the screen before it was locked. #+BEGIN_SRC sh TMPBG="/tmp/screen.png" if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ] then SCREENER=grim LOCKER="swaylock -feF" else SCREENER=scrot LOCKER="i3lock -ef" fi $SCREENER "$TMPBG" corrupter -add 0 "$TMPBG" "$TMPBG" $LOCKER -ti "$TMPBG" rm $TMPBG #+END_SRC ** Polybar-launch (Deprecated) :noexport: :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/polybar-launch :END: This scripts allows the user to kill polybar and relaunch it, or to simply launch it if polybar isn’t launched yet. First thing to do is kill all polybar processes. #+BEGIN_SRC bash killall -q polybar #+END_SRC Now we have to wait untill all polybar processes have been shut down. #+BEGIN_SRC bash while pgrep -u $UID -x polybar >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done #+END_SRC Now that our system isn’t running polybar anymore, we’ll launch it again on all of our screens.

It is inspired by [[https://github.com/ODEX-TOS/tools/blob/master/rofi/askpass][this original tool]], rewritten in bash and with [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rofi][rofi]] support instead of [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dmenu][dmenu]]. As you can see, this is a oneliner if we ignore the initial shebang. This executable is pointed at by the #+BEGIN_SRC sh rofi -dmenu -password -no-fixed-num-lines -p $(printf "$*" | sed 's/://') #+END_SRC *** awiki :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/awiki :END: ~awiki~ is a simple script used with ~rofi~ that relies on the ~arch-wiki-docs~ package in order to provide the user a way to quickly find and display any English page from the Arch Wiki in a browser. The advantage of using this over the ~wiki-search~ utility from the ~arch-wiki-lite~ package is you get instant suggestion in rofi using fuzzy-search. The downside is rofi will only help you find pages by their title, and it will not help you find keywords in the content of said pages. The first step is to create the list of all the pages that are currently stored on disk. ~arch-wiki-docs~ stores them in ~/usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en~. A simple ~ls~ piped in three ~sed~ will give us a list of page titles. We then pipe that into rofi in dmenu mode in order to choose the page we want to display. By the way, setting the location of the HTML files will come in handy later. #+BEGIN_SRC sh WLOCATION=/usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en/ WPAGE=$(/bin/ls "$WLOCATION" | \ sed -e 's/_/ /g' -e 's/\.html$//' -e 's|.*/\(.*\)|\1|' | \ rofi -dmenu -p "Arch Wiki" -i) WPAGE=$(echo $WPAGE | sed -r 's/\s+/_/g') #+END_SRC Now, all I need to do is to send this list into rofi and tell it to open the result with our favorite browser with ~xdg-open~. #+BEGIN_SRC sh xdg-open "$WLOCATION$WPAGE.html" #+END_SRC *** dmenu :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env sh" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/dmenu :END: I wrote this very simple script in order to replace =dmenu= with rofi’s emulation of dmenu, since I prefer rofi’s appearance. It basically calls rofi’s dmenu emulation with the arguments initially passed to dmenu. #+BEGIN_SRC sh rofi -dmenu "$*" #+END_SRC *** Emoji picker :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/rofi-emoji :END: The emoji picker is a simple bash script that uses rofi and [[file:~/.config/emoji.txt][~/.config/emoji.txt]] to provide a small, local search for emojis. It is relatively easy to build this file from the Unicode’s [[https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/15.0/emoji-test.txt][test file]]. Once the emoji is selected, it is copied to the clipboard using =xclipboard= when in a Xorg session or =wl-copy= from =wl-clipboard= when in a Wayland session. #+BEGIN_SRC bash SELECTED_EMOJI=$(grep -v "#" ~/.config/emoji.txt | rofi -dmenu -p "Select emoji" -i | awk '{print $1}' | tr -d '\n') if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ] then printf "%s" "$SELECTED_EMOJI" | wl-copy else printf "%s" "$SELECTED_EMOJI" | xclip -sel clip fi #+END_SRC Also, let’s send a notification telling the user the emoji has been copied! #+BEGIN_SRC bash if [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ] then EMOJI=$(wl-paste) else EMOJI=$(xclip -o) fi test -z "$EMOJI" && notify-send "No emoji copied" -u low && exit EMOJI="$EMOJI copied to clipboard" notify-send -u low "$EMOJI" #+END_SRC It is inspired from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCEXY46t3OA][this video]] from [[https://lukesmith.xyz/][Luke Smith]]. *** rofi-ytdl :PROPERTIES: :HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/rofi-ytdl :END: This is just a simple wrapper around [[file:./scripts.md#ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper][ytdl]] so I can easily download a video from rofi, which we’ll use first to retrieve the URL of the video we want to download, be it from YouTube or other website supported by ~youtube-dl~. #+BEGIN_SRC bash URL=$(echo "Video to download:" | rofi -dmenu -i -p "Video to download:") #+END_SRC Now, if the variable ~URL~ is not empty (i.e. the user specified a link and did not abort the operation), we’ll proceed to the download.
