Shell Out Plugin for Micro

Shell Out is a plugin for the micro text editor that runs the current line as a shell command and insert the output below.

Usage

Write a shell command on a line, place your cursor on it, and run:

Ctrl-Alt-b

Or via command prompt:

shout

The output of the command is inserted directly below the current line. The cursor moves to the end of the output.

Notes

• Output is not modified in any way.
• Lines with only whitespace are ignored.
• If the command is at the end of the buffer and has no newline, one is prepended to prevent merging.

Installation

Place the plugin folder in ~/.config/micro/plug/shout/, or clone it directly from the GitHub repository:

mkdir -p ~/.config/micro/plug
git clone https://github.com/micro-garden/shout-plugin ~/.config/micro/plug/shout

Alternatively, this plugin is also available through the unofficial plugin channel:
https://github.com/micro-garden/unofficial-plugin-channel
You can install it by adding the channel and then using plugin install.
