zet menu - Zet

Interactive command which ties together several other commands. Shows a list of files inside notebooks, which user can browse, edit or open in external program. List of files can be initially filtered by passing selectors.

zet menu requires fzf to show a searchable list of files. Pressing <enter> prints a selection to standard output, which can be captured in a script and processed further. However, zet menu also allows several actions without exiting the menu. They are bound to the following keys:

<ctrl-e>: edit selected file in the current terminal. ${EDITOR} environment variable is used to determine the editor.
<ctrl-o>: open selected file in external program. xdg-open is used to determine the program which will be used. Typically this opens a new window which is detached from the zet menu process and should outlive it.
<ctrl-f> search currently typed query via zet search. Query may contain any switch accepted by zet search (for example term1 term2 --or). Searches are performed in scope of filtered selectors, but you can extend them by passing additional -s switches. You can also start a query with -- to indicate that from this point only literal arguments will be passed.
<ctrl-r> - reload the initial list of files. It is useful if you made some changes to the files or if you want to show all the files after using the search.

Sort by Frecency

If you have fresort program installed, file list can be sorted by their usage "frecency". To activae this feature, run zet menu --fresort. Files are recognized by their paths so if they are renamed (e.g. with zet mv, their frecency data will be lost.
