Memo Scripts

Sunbeam memo extension and golang script to add, read and edit memo entries via the command line.

Why

• I needed an easy way to save rarely used commands, useful when working from multiple systems (work and personal computer)
• save links/bookmarks or informaion to read later

Features

• add memo entries from clipboard
• add memo entries from the command line
• The cmd filtered entries will only copy the value in the code block. So it can be copied to the clipboard and pasted into a terminal

Pre-requisites

1. Memo server https://www.usememos.com
2. Sunbeam https://sunbeam.pomdtr.me
3. Golang https://go.dev

Installation

1. Install the script using go get:

go get github.com/smetroid/memo-scripts

2. Add function to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc):

function prev() {
  ~/projects/memo-scripts/memo-scripts -shellCommand
}

3. Install sunbeam extension

make sunbeam-install

4. Configure the sunbeam extension by adding the following to your sunbeam config file:

extensions:
  memo:
    url: https://your-memo-server.com
    token: your-memo-token

or enter the memo url and token when prompted

Usage

CLI

1. To save a cli command to memo:

  prev

2. Enter additional tags to go with the command (not required) eg:

$ prev
content: ./memo-scripts -help
Enter additional tags (comma-separated):

3. enter to save entry to memo server
   

Clipboard

Pre-requisites

1. MacOS/Linux
   1. You must have Sunbeam terminal integration, alacritty or hyper
2. Linux - less resources
   1. Foot terminal with zsh shell
   2. Use linux to create a shortcut to toggle terminal

Usage

1. Start hyper or alacritty via the shortcut/hotkey
2. You should see an option to create a memo entry from Clipboard

Raycast

Note: sunbeam does provide a raycast extension, but was not able to get it working so this is a workaround

Pre-requisites

1. alacritty

Usage

1. Setup a raycast shortcut to run the raycast-alacritty.sh script

Todo

• Implement delete memo functionality
• Binary downloads for the scripts
• Need to remove the #cmd tag from a memo entry if it's created via clipboard
• alacritty json config file
• Go routine to get all memo entries, for faster retrieval of memo items
• add creating a new memo via sunbeam (only terminal and clipboard works)
