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.

:CUSTOM_ID: Autostart-a99e99e7
: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.
~set-screens~ is a custom script declared [[*set-screens][below]].

* awiki
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/awiki
:CUSTOM_ID: awiki-7ac5e1d5
: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 fish
set WLOCATION /usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en/
set WPAGE (/bin/ls $WLOCATION | \
sed -e 's/_/ /g' -e 's/\.html$//' -e 's|.*/\(.*\)|\1|' | \
rofi -dmenu -p "Arch Wiki" -i | sed '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 fish
xdg-open $WLOCATION$WPAGE.html
#+END_SRC
* Askpass
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/askpass
:CUSTOM_ID: Askpass-d0d7a8c0
:END:
Askpass is a simple script that invokes ~rofi~ as a way to get from a GUI the user’s sudo password. It is inspired by [[https://github.com/ODEX-TOS/tools/blob/master/rofi/askpass][this original tool]], rewritten in fish 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 fish
rofi -dmenu -password -no-fixed-num-lines -p (printf $argv[1] | sed s/://)
#+END_SRC
* Backup
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/backup
:CUSTOM_ID: Backup-68c7c63e
:END:
~backup~ is a very simple, oneliner script that will create a local copy of a file and add the date at which it was copied in the filename. You can see its source code here:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
cp -r $argv[1] $argv[1].bak.(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
#+END_SRC
* ConnectWifi :noexport:
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/connect-wifi
:CUSTOM_ID: ConnectWifi-16e5e24a
:END:
~connect-wifi~ is a small utility tool that allows the user to connect to available WiFi networks. The first thing to do is to select the WiFi we want to connect to. We’ll use the ~nmcli c s~ command to get the list of the available networks, and we’ll chose one with ~rofi~.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set SELECTEDWIFI (nmcli d w l | \
egrep -o '([0-9A-F]{2}:){5}[0-9A-F]{2}\s*(.*)Infra' | \
egrep -o '\s+(.*)\s+' | awk '{$1=$1}1' | \
rofi -dmenu -p "Select your WiFi network")
#+END_SRC
Now, if a network was selected, let’s attempt to connect to it. Otherwise,
let’s just send a notification no network was selected.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
if test -z $SELECTEDWIFI
notify-send "No WiFi network selected" -u low && exit
end
nmcli c u $SELECTEDWIFI
#+END_SRC
** TODO fix it

* Cppnew :noexport:
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :tangle no
:CUSTOM_ID: Cppnew-964e697b
:END:
=cppnew= is a small utility that helps you create a new C++ project. Several templates are available, the default one using CMake, and three others that are a bit more advances, based on:
- CMake + [[https://conan.io/][Conan]]
- [[https://mesonbuild.com/][Meson]] + [[https://ninja-build.org/][Ninja]]
- Meson + Ninja + Conan
There is also a default [[http://doxygen.nl/][Doxygen]] file included for your documentation, ready to go. I even made it so that you can execute it as an executable file, like =./doc/Doxyfile= from the project root.
The choice is given to the user which of them to use with options that will be given to =cppnew=.
First of all, if no arguments were passed, return an error.
#+begin_src fish
if ! count $argv >/dev/null
echo "Missing argument: PROJECT" && return -1
end
#+end_src
Now, let’s set a couple of variables which will prove useful later on when trying to set up our project.
* Cnew
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/cnew
:CUSTOM_ID: Cnew-d9ec9cc4
:END:
=cnew= is a small utility script similar to but simpler than cppnew that creates a CMake template C project from the template that already exists in [[file:~/dev/templateC][~/dev/templateC]]. If no argument was passed, display an error message and exit.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
if ! count $argv > /dev/null
echo "Missing argument: PROJECT" && return -1
end
#+END_SRC
Pass the first argument to a switch statement.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
switch "$argv[1]"
#+END_SRC
If the argument is =-h= or =--help=, then display the help message and exit the script normally.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case -h --help
man ~/dev/fishfunctions/cnew.man
exit 0
#+END_SRC
Else, the argument is the name of the project the user wants to create.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case '*'
set -g project_name $argv[1]
#+END_SRC
Let’s close the switch statement.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s copy the template where the user is executing =cnew= from, give it the name of the project and move to the project.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
cp -r ~/dev/templateC $argv[1]
cd $argv[1]
#+END_SRC
The default files have a placeholder for the name of the project. Let’s replace these placeholders with the project’s name.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
sed -i "s/PROJECTNAME/$argv[1]/g" CMakeLists.txt
sed -i "s/PROJECTNAME/$argv[1]/g" README.org
sed -i "s/CPROJECTNAME/$argv[1]/g" doc/Doxyfile
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s create a git repository and initialize it.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
#+END_SRC
And we’re done!
* Dart Language Server
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/dart_language_server
:CUSTOM_ID: Dart_Language_Server-18c256b1
:END:
Spacemacs' recommendations on how to use Dart with LSP is outdated, since [[https://github.com/natebosch/dart_language_server][=dart_language_server=]] is obsolete. As recommended by the repo owner, we should launch instead the following code:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
/usr/bin/dart $DART_SDK/snapshots/analysis_server.dart.snapshot --lsp
#+END_SRC
So, instead of using the obsolete executable, instead we will be calling the analysis server as requested.
* Dmenu
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/dmenu
:CUSTOM_ID: Dmenu-527edf04
: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 fish
rofi -dmenu $argv
#+END_SRC
* Emacsmail
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/bin/bash" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/emacsmail
:CUSTOM_ID: Emacsmail-afffb7cd
:END:
This short script is used in my =~/.local/share/applications/mu4e.desktop= file in order to send to Emacs any ~mailto:~ requests made in my system.
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
emacsclient -c --eval "(browse-url-mail \"$@\")"
#+END_SRC
* Emoji picker
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/rofi-emoji
:CUSTOM_ID: Emoji_picker-a1c374ec
:END:
The emoji picker is a simple fish script that uses rofi and [[file:~/.config/emoji.txt][~/.config/emoji.txt]] to provide a small, local search for emojis. Once the emoji is selected, it is copied to the clipboard using =xclipboard=.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
grep -v "#" ~/.config/emoji.txt | rofi -dmenu -p "Select emoji" -i | \
awk '{print $1}' | tr -d '\n' | xclip -selection clipboard
#+END_SRC
Also, let’s send a notification telling the user the emoji has been copied!
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set emoji (xclip -o -selection clipboard | tr -d '\n')
test -z "$emoji" && notify-send "No emoji copied" -u low && exit
set -a 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]], rewritten in Fish.
* mp42webm
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/mp42webm

This little tool sets a random wallpaper using nitrogen.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish

set -l PAPES (ls $PAPESDIR)
set -l PAPE $PAPESDIR/$PAPES[(random 1 (count $PAPES))]
for i in (seq (xrandr --current | grep ' connected' | wc -l))
nitrogen --set-zoom-fill $PAPE --head=(math "$i - 1") --save
end
#+END_SRC
* Pinfo :noexport:

:CUSTOM_ID: Pinfo-f3644596
:END:
~pinfo~ is a utility that shows system information
* Plock
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/plock
:CUSTOM_ID: Lock-635fcb38
: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 fish
set TMPBG /tmp/screen.png
scrot $TMPBG
corrupter -add 0 $TMPBG $TMPBG
i3lock -t -e -f -i $TMPBG
rm $TMPBG
#+END_SRC
* Polybar-launch (Deprecated)
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/polybar-launch
:CUSTOM_ID: Polybar-launch-36789edc
: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. By the way, I have two bars, so I’ll have to lauch them both.
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
if type "xrandr"; then
for m in $(xrandr --query | grep " connected" | cut -d" " -f1); do
MONITOR=$m polybar --reload top &
MONITOR=$m polybar --reload bottom &
done
else
polybar --reload top &
polybar --reload bottom &
fi
#+END_SRC
And we’re done! Let’s just launch a notification polybar has been relaunched.
#+BEGIN_SRC bash
notify-send "Polybar restarted!" -a "polybar-launch"
#+END_SRC
* Rofi-mount
:PROPERTIES:
:HEADER-ARGS: :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env fish" :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.local/bin/rofi-mount
:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-mount-ebbebf68
:END:
=rofimount= is a script inspired by [[https://github.com/ihebchagra/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin/dmount][this one]], based on dmenu, which interactively asks the user what to mount, and where to mount it. What I did was replace dmenu with rofi, and fix a couple of bugs I encountered in the original script.
** Get the mountable elements
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-mount-Get_the_mountable_elements-24db7834
:END:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
begin
#+END_SRC
What the script does first is detect everything that can be mounted. Between a =begin= and =end=, let’s set =LFS= as a local variable. This si in order to get sane variables in the current block.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set -l LFS
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s detect the amount of mountable Android filesystems, and if any are detected, let’s read them into a global variable.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set -l a (math (jmtpfs -l | wc -l) - 2)
test $a -ge 0 && jmtpfs -l 2> /dev/null | tail -n $a | read -zg anddrives
#+END_SRC
We’ll do the same for external and internal drives and partitions that can be mounted here.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
lsblk -rpo "name,type,size,mountpoint" | \
awk '$2=="part"&&$4==""{printf "%s (%s)\n",$1,$3}' | \
read -zg usbdrives
#+END_SRC
Finally, we look for any CD drive that could be mounted on our device.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
blkid /dev/sr0 | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/://' | read -z cddrives
#+END_SRC
And that’s the end of our first block!
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
#+END_SRC
Alright, we’ll save what kind on drives we can mount in a temporary file called =/tmp/drives=. We’ll make sure it’s blank by erasing it then creating it again with =touch=, like so. The =-f= flag on =rm= is here so we get no error if we try to delete a file that doesn’t exist (yet).
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set -g TMPDRIVES /tmp/drives
rm -f $TMPDRIVES
touch $TMPDRIVES
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s write what type of drives we can mount in this temporary file.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
test -n "$usbdrives" && echo "USB" >> $TMPDRIVES
test -n "$cddrives" && echo "CD" >> $TMPDRIVES
test -n "$anddrives" && echo "Android" >> $TMPDRIVES
#+END_SRC
Now, we want to declare where to look for mount directories. For now, we’ll only look in =/media=, but you can add more if you wish.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set -g basemount /media
#+END_SRC
** Get the mount point
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-mount-Get_the_mount_point-6c4bac06
:END:
Now, let’s declare a function that will allow us to chose the drive we want to mount.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function getmount
#+END_SRC
First, we want to get our mount point. We’ll run a =find= command on each of the directories listed in =$basemount= to look for folders on which our drive could be mounted. This list will be passed to rofi from which we will chose our mount point.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set -g mp (for d in $basemount
find $d -maxdepth 5 -type d
end | rofi -dmenu -i -p 'Type in mount point.')
#+END_SRC
We should verify that something has been actually selected, otherwise we should abort the script.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
if test -z $mp || test $mp = ""
return 1
end
#+END_SRC
Now, if the selected mount point does not exist, we’ll ask the user whether the directory should be created. If no, the script will abort. If yes, an attempt will be made at creating the directory as the user; if that fails, a new attempt will be made as sudo.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
if test ! -d $mp
switch (printf "No\\nYes" | rofi -dmenu -i -p "$mp does not exist. Create it?")
case 'Yes'
mkdir -p $mp || sudo -A mkdir -p $mp
case '*'
return 1
end
end
#+END_SRC
Finally, let’s close the function
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
#+END_SRC
** Mount a USB drive, hard drive or partition
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-mount-Mount_a_USB_drive,_hard_drive_or_partition-f5431dbe
:END:
Alright, we want to mount a partition that answers by the name of =/dev/sdXX=, how do we do that? Let’s create first the function =mountusb= that will take care of it for us.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function mountusb
#+END_SRC
Now, the first thing we want to do is select the partition we want to mount. Remember, we stored those in =$usbdrives= earlier, so let’s pipe them into rofi so we can chose from it. Also, =awk= will get their path in =/dev=.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set -g chosen (echo $usbdrives | \
rofi -dmenu -i -p "Mount which drive?" | \
awk '{print $1}')
#+END_SRC
As usual after a user selection, let’s verify something has actually been selected. If not, let’s abort the script.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
test -z $chosen && return 1
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s select the mount point of our partition. We’ll call the function =getmount= described in [[#Rofi-mount-Get_the_mount_point-6c4bac06][Get the mount point]] to select it.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
getmount
#+END_SRC
Let’s verify the variable =mp= set in =getmount= is not empty, otherwise abort the script.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
test -z $mp && return 1
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s mount it! We’ll use a switch which will detect the filesystem used so we know how to mount the partition.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
switch (lsblk -no "fstype" $chosen)
#+END_SRC
We have two named case: =vfat= filesystems.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case "vfat"
sudo -A mount -t vfat $chosen $mp -o rw,umask=0000
#+END_SRC
And =ntfs= filesystems.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case "ntfs"
sudo -A mount -t ntfs $chosen $mp -o rw,umask=0000
#+END_SRC
Else, we’ll let =mount= determine which filesystem is used by the partition (generally =ext4=).
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case '*'
sudo -A mount $chosen $mp
#+END_SRC
We’ll also run a =chown= on this newly mounted filesystem so the user can access it without any issues.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
sudo -A chown -R $USER:(id -g $USER) $mp
#+END_SRC
Let’s close the switch block and send a notification the partition has been mounted.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end && notify-send -a "dmount" "💻 USB mounting" "$chosen mounted to $mp."
#+END_SRC
And let’s close the function.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
#+END_SRC
** Mount an Android device
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-mount-Mount_an_Android_device-5321f9cd
:END:
The function that manages to mount Android filesystems is =mountandroid=. Let’s declare it.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function mountandroid -d "Mount an Android device"
#+END_SRC
We’ll select which Android we want to mount. We will be asked through rofi.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set chosen (echo $anddrives | rofi -dmenu -i -p "Which Android device?" | awk '{print $1 $2}' | sed 's/,$//')
#+END_SRC
Now, we need to get the bus of the Android device we want to mount. It will be useful later, after we authorized mounting from our device, to get the path to our partition.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set bus (echo $chosen | sed 's/,.*//')
#+END_SRC
Let’s temporarily mount our device.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
jmtpfs -device=$chosen $mp
#+END_SRC
Now, we need to allow our computer to mount our Android device. Depending on the Android version it is running on, we either need to specify our device is USB connected in order to exchange files, or Android will explicitely ask us if it is OK for our computer to access it. Let’s inform the user of that.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
echo "OK" | \
rofi -dmenu -i -p "Press (Allow) on your phone screen, or set your USB settings to allow file transfert"
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s get the actual path of our Android filesystem we wish to mount, and let’s unmount the previous temporary filesystem.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set newchosen (jmtpfs -l | grep $bus | awk '{print $1 $2}' | sed 's/,$//')
sudo -A umount $mp
#+END_SRC
Now we cam mount the new filesystem and send a notification if everything went well.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
jmtpfs -device=$newchosen $mp && \
notify-send -a "dmount" "🤖 Android Mounting" "Android device mounted to $mp."
#+END_SRC
And now, we can close our function.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
#+END_SRC
** Mount a CD drive
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-mount-Mount_a_CD_drive-27278199
:END:
This part is way easier than the previous functions. As we will see, the function =mountcd='s body is only three lines long. First, let’s declare the function.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function mountcd
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s chose the CD drive we want to mount using =rofi=.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set chosen (echo $cddrives | rofi -dmenu -i -p "Which CD drive?")
#+END_SRC
We’ll also get the mountpoint thanks to the =getmount= function described earlier.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
getmount
#+END_SRC
And finally, let’s mount it and send the notification everything went well.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
sudo -A mount $chosen $mp && \
notify-send -a "dmount" "💿 CD mounting" "$chosen mounted."
#+END_SRC
Finally, let’s close our function.

The first thing we will be asked if different types of drives are detected is which of these types the user wishes to mount. This is done with the function =asktype= which is declared below.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function asktype
#+END_SRC
We will use a switch statement which will use our anwser to rofi about what we wish to mount.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
switch (cat $TMPDRIVES | rofi -dmenu -i -p "Mount which drive?")
#+END_SRC
If we chose the option "USB", we’ll mount a hard drive, partition or USB drive. In which case we’ll call the =mountusb= function.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case "USB"
mountusb
#+END_SRC
If we chose the "Android" option, the =mountandroid= function is called.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case "Android"
mountandroid
#+END_SRC
Else if we chose the "CD" option, we’ll call the =mountcd= function.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case "CD"
mountcd
#+END_SRC
If nothing is selected, the function will naturally exit. Now, let’s close our switch statement and our function.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
end
#+END_SRC
** Launch the mounting functions
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-mount-Launch_the_mounting_functions-218ad001
:END:
Now that we have declared our functions and set our variables, we’ll read the temporary file described in [[#Rofi-mount-Get_the_mountable_elements-24db7834][Get the mountable elements]]. The amount of lines is passed in a switch statement.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
switch (wc -l < $TMPDRIVES)
#+END_SRC
If the file has no lines, i.e. it is empty, we have no mountable media. Let’s inform our user this is the case.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case 0
notify-send "No USB drive or Android device or CD detected" -a "dmount"
#+END_SRC
If we only have one line, we have only one type of mountable media. We’ll pass this line to a second switch statement.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case 1
switch (cat $TMPDRIVES)
#+END_SRC
This will allow the script to automatically detect what type of media it is, and mount the corresponding function.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case "USB"
mountusb
case "Android"
mountandroid
case "CD"
mountCD
#+END_SRC
Let’s close this nested switch case.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
#+END_SRC
If we have more than one line, we’ll have to ask the user what type of media they want to mount.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
case '*'
asktype
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s end our switch statement!
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
end
#+END_SRC
Finally, we’ll delete our temporary file.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
rm -f $TMPDRIVES
#+END_SRC
And with that, this is the end of our script!

:CUSTOM_ID: Rofi-pass-8335357f
:END:
=rofi-pass= is a simple utility that gets a password stored in the [[https://www.passwordstore.org/][=pass=]] password manager with rofi as its interface, and then stores the password in the clipboard.
Let’s parse all the arguments passed to the script. If one of them is =--type=, =-t= or =type=, the script will attempt to type the password to the text area already selected without pasting the password to the clipboard.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
for arg in $argv
switch $arg
case '--type' '-t' 'type'
set -g TYPE "yes"
case '*'
printf 'Unknown argument: %s\n.' $arg
exit 1
end
end
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s get the list of the passwords that exist in our =pass= repository.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set passwords (find $HOME/.password-store -type f -name "*.gpg" | \
string replace -r ".*.password-store/" "" | \
string replace -r ".gpg" "" | sort)
#+END_SRC
Let the user choose which password they wish to select.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set password (for elem in $passwords
echo $elem
end | rofi -dmenu -i -p "Select your password")
#+END_SRC
Let’s verify we actually selected a password and not just exited. If no password was selected, let’s simply exit the script.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
if test -z $password
exit
end
#+END_SRC
Depending on the arguments passed earlier, we might want some different behavior.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :noweb yes
if test $TYPE = "yes"
<>
else
<>
end
#+END_SRC
The default behavior is to copy the password to the clipboard for 45 seconds, so let’s do that.
#+NAME: rofi-pass-copy
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :noweb yes :tangle no
pass show -c $password 2> /dev/null
#+END_SRC
Else, if we passed =--type=, =-t= or =type= as an argument of the script, we want it to attempt to type our password in the currently selected text input. Let’s do that.
#+NAME: rofi-pass-type
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :noweb yes :tangle no
set -l IFS
<>
printf %s $pass | xvkbd -file -
#+END_SRC
To correctly get the password from ~pass~, we need to parse the output and only get the first line, hence the following command.
#+NAME: rofi-pass-type-get-password
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :tangle no
set pass (pass show $password | string split -n \n)[1]

For some reasons, my firmware does not recognize the function key for toggling the touchpad. I’m not going to really complain about it since it lets me program it like I want. Since I often don’t need to completely deactivate the touchpad, I’ll instead toggle whether tapping is enabled or not when pressing ~XF86TouchpadToggle~. And for that, I need this small script that will actually toggle it, and it will be used in my window manager configuration.
First let’s declare some variables to make this script more personal. With my current computer (a Gazelle by System76), the name of my touchpad is the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set TPNAME "ELAN0412:00 04F3:3162 Touchpad"
#+END_SRC
Let’s now get the identifier of the touchpad for ~xinput~:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set TPID (xinput list | grep $TPNAME | awk '{print $6}' | sed 's|id=\(.*\)|\1|g')

Now, let’s detect the current status of the touchpad:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
set TPSTATUS (xinput list-props $TPID | grep "Tapping Enabled" | \
grep -v "Default" | awk '{print $5}')
#+END_SRC
This will set ~TPSTATUS~ either to ~0~, meaning tapping is disabled, or to ~1~, meaning it’s enabled. I will consider any other value as being disabled.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
test [[ $TPSTATUS = "1" ]] && set NEWTPSTATUS 0 || set NEWTPSTATUS 1

Be aware this script was written for the Fish shell (3.1.0 and above), and makes use of youtube-dl 2020.03.24 and above, [[https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fish-getopts][Fish getopts]] and [[https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep][ripgrep]].
** Setting default values
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Setting-default-values-da404639
:END:
Some variables in this script will have default values, we do not want to have a mile-long command each time we wish to download a single video. We’ll also set some global variables that won’t change:
#+NAME: ytdl-default-vars
| Variable Name | Default Value | String? |
|------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+---------|
| YTDL_SHARED_DIR | $HOME/.local/share/ytdl | no |
| FORMAT_DEFAULT | %(uploader)s/%(upload_date)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s | yes |
| DOWNFILE_DEFAULT | $YTDL_SHARED_DIR/downloaded | no |
| ERRFILE_DEFAULT | $YTDL_SHARED_DIR/video-errors | no |
| LOGFILE_DEFAULT | $YTDL_SHARED_DIR/ytdl.log | no |
| PREFFERED_FORMAT | bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/bestvideo+bestaudio | yes |
| VERSION | 0.3 | yes |
There is one more default variable pointing to ytdl’s root directory which depends on whether the videos directory has a French or English name:
#+NAME: ytdl-default-vars-root
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :tangle no
if test -d "$HOME/Vidéos"
set -g ROOTDIR_DEFAULT "$HOME/Vidéos" # French name
else
set -g ROOTDIR_DEFAULT "$HOME/Videos" # English name
end
#+END_SRC
#+NAME: ytdl-default-vars-make
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var vars=ytdl-default-vars
(mapconcat (lambda (var)
(let ((varname (car var))
(varvalue (cadr var))
(string? (string= (nth 2 var) "yes")))
(format "set -g %-16s %s" varname (if string? (format "\"%s\"" varvalue)
varvalue))))
vars
"\n")
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS: ytdl-default-vars-make

: set -g VERSION "0.3"
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :noweb yes
<>
<>
#+END_SRC
We’ll also create the directory pointed at by ~YTDL_SHARED_DIR~ if it doesn’t exist already:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
mkdir -p $YTDL_SHARED_DIR
#+END_SRC
** Help message
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Help-message-3773aacd
:END:
The next step is displaying the help message for the script. For that, just a long string echo’d will do, wrapped in the function ~_ytdl_help~.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function _ytdl_help
echo "Usage: ytdl [OPTION]... URL [URL]...
-4, --ipv4

Default: no
-6, --ipv6

'#', ';' or ']' are considered as comments and ignored.
Default: None
-c, --id-cache
File containing the video IDs that were already downloaded, one ID per
line.
Default: $DOWNFILE_DEFAULT
-d, --directory

end
#+END_SRC
We also have the function ~_ytdl_version~ to display the current version of ~ytdl~:
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function _ytdl_version
echo "ytdl 0.3, developped for fish 3.1.0 and youtube-dl 2020.03.24 or newer"
echo "requires Fish getopts "
echo "and ripgrep "
end
#+END_SRC
** Arguments Handling
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Arguments-Handling-1daebbe8
:END:
The function ~_ytdl_parse_ops~ is a little bit trickier: we use ~getopts~ to parse the arguments passed to the script in order to get some preferences from the user. Here is a quick reference on what options are available and what they do:
#+NAME: ytdl-table-arguments
| Short | Long | Takes a value? | Associated Variable | Default Value | What it does |
|-------+------------+----------------+---------------------+-------------------+----------------------|
| 4 | ipv4 | no | IPV4 | None | Force IPv4 |
| 6 | ipv6 | no | IPV6 | None | Force IPv6 |
| a | batch-file | yes | FILE | None | Batch file |
| c | cache | yes | DOWNFILE | $DOWNFILE_DEFAULT | Cache file |
| d | directory | yes | ROOTDIR | $ROOTDIR_DEFAULT | Root directory |
| e | error-file | yes | ERRFILE | $ERRFILE_DEFAULT | Error logs |
| f | format | yes | FORMAT | $FORMAT_DEFAULT | Filename format |
| l | logs | yes | LOGFILE | $LOGFILE_DEFAULT | Logs |
| V | verbose | no | VERBOSE | 1 | Verbose output |
| v | version | command | None | None | Script version |
| h | help | command | None | None | Display this message |
We can also pass individual YouTube URLs without any options or switches associated to them, they will be downloaded as part of a single queue.

Some values need to be set to their default, so let’s assign them their value if no user value was passed:
#+NAME: ytdl-arg-set-default-value
#+BEGIN_SRC fish :noweb yes :tangle no
<>
set -g FORMAT "$ROOTDIR/$FORMAT"

#+END_SRC
** Logging
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Logging-f4b9815e
:END:
~_ytdl_log~ is a very simple function used for logging information for the user in the file pointed to by ~LOGFILE~. The first argument the function should receive is its log level. I generally use either ~"INFO"~ or ~"ERR"~. The second argument is the message to log.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function _ytdl_log
set -l INFOLEVEL $argv[1]
set -l MSG $argv[2]
set -l LOG (printf "[%s] %s %s\n" $INFOLEVEL (date +"%F %T") $MSG)
printf "%s\n" $LOG >> $LOGFILE
if test $VERBOSE -eq 1
echo $LOG
end
end
#+END_SRC
** Download a Single Video
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Download-a-Single-Video-afedf321
:END:
In order to download a single video, a simple function has been written for this that will display when downloaded how far it is down the list of videos to be downloaded and it will add its ID to the file listing all videos downloaded. The script will also try to download the video according to the ~PREFFERED_FORMAT~ variable, but if the download fails it will download the default format selected by ~youtube-dl~. If both downloads fail, the ID of the video will be added to the list of failed videos. If one of the downloads succeeds, it will remove the ID from the list of failed downloads.
The first argument of the function is the video ID from YouTube, the second argument is the position of the video in the queue, and the third argument is the queue length –can be the amount of videos in a whole YouTube channel, the amount of videos in a playlist, or simply the amount of YouTube URLs passed as arguments to the script.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function _ytdl_download_video
set ID $argv[1]
_ytdl_log "INFO" (printf "Downloading video with ID $ID (%4d/%4d)" $argv[2] $argv[3])
if youtube-dl -f $PREFFERED_FORMAT -ciw -o $FORMAT "https://youtube.com/watch?v=$ID"
echo $ID >> $DOWNFILE
else if youtube-dl -ciw -o $FORMAT "https://youtube.com/watch?v=$ID"
echo $ID >> $DOWNFILE
else
_ytdl_log "ERR" "Could not download $VIDEO"
echo $ID >> $ERRFILE
end
end
#+END_SRC
/Note that this function is not meant to be called without any checks before./ It is meant to be called by ~_ytdl_download_queue~ described below.
** Download a Queue of Videos
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Download-a-Queue-of-Videos-6ef8d51f
:END:
One of the main goals of this tool is to check if a video has already been downloaded. This is why, as you will see below, we use ripgrep to check if the ID of the video we want to download is already present in the list of downloaded videos. If not, it will then be downloaded though ~_ytdl_download_video~ described above.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function _ytdl_download_queue
for i in (seq (count $argv))
rg -- $argv[$i] $DOWNFILE 2&> /dev/null
if test $status -ne 0
_ytdl_download_video $argv[$i] $i (count $argv)
end
end
end
#+END_SRC
** Download Videos From Arguments
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Download-Videos-From-Arguments-57a5dac1
:END:
The main aim of this function is to transform the URLs contained in the arguments passed to the script to a list of IDs usable later on by ~ytdl~.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function _ytdl_download_arg_urls
set -g IDs
for VIDEO in $argv
_ytdl_log "Info" "Getting video ID for $VIDEO"
set -g IDs $IDs (youtube-dl --get-id $VIDEO)
end
_ytdl_download_queue $IDs
end
#+END_SRC
** Download Videos From a Batch File
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Download-Videos-From-a-Batch-File-0f1382c4
:END:
The final function to declare before the main body of the script is ~_ytdl_download_batch~: it will look for each line, ignoring the ones beginning by ~#~, ~;~ and ~]~ (just like ~youtube-dl~) and will download them, assuming these are channel URLs or playlist URLs, however it should also work with direct video URLs.
What this function does is for each line, it will fetch the entierty of the video IDs found in a playlist or channel. Then, it will look each ID up the list of already downloaded videos and will add all new IDs to a queue of videos to be downloaded. It will then pass each new video ID to ~_ytdl_download_video~ directly.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
function _ytdl_download_batch
set -q $FILE
if test $status -eq 1
set -g NEW
set CHANNELS (cat $FILE | grep -vE "#|;|\]")
for c in $CHANNELS
_ytdl_log "INFO" "Getting IDs for channel $c"
set IDS (youtube-dl --get-id $c)
_ytdl_log "INFO" "Fetching new videos from channel"
for i in (seq (count $IDS))
printf "\rsearching (%d/%d)" $IDn (count $IDS)
rg -- $IDS[$i] $DOWNFILE 2&> /dev/null
if test $status -ne 0
set -g NEW $IDS[$i] $NEW
end
end
printf "\n"
end
for i in (seq (count $NEW))
_ytdl_download_video $NEW[$i] $i (count $NEW)
end
end
end
#+END_SRC
** Main Body
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: ytdl-a-youtube-dl-wrapper-Main-Body-8a06cb9e
:END:
Now that we have all our functions declared, let’s call them! First, we need to parse our arguments. We’ll then download all files passed as arguments. Finally, we’ll download videos, playlists and channels specified from a batch file.
#+BEGIN_SRC fish
_ytdl_parse_ops $argv
_ytdl_download_arg_urls $VIDEOS
_ytdl_download_batch
#+END_SRC
And that’s all! If you’re interested with a very simple interface for downloading one video once, I wrote a small [[#rofi-ytdl-ff8f789d][~rofi-ytdl~]] script that calls the ~rofi~ utility to specify a single link and download it.
