Show HN: Desk – lightweight workspace management for the shell
- rane 11y agozaw's[1] history widget on Ctrl-R is so much better than the regular backward history search that it's difficult to imagine using a shell without it anymore. 1: https://github.com/zsh-users/zaw https://github.com/zsh-users/zaw
- twsted 11y agoI like the concept.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoIt would be cool if this functionality could be hooked into cd like rvm does.
- techdragon 11y agoNo it would not. I cannot begin to count the hours I've lost debugging ruby script based tools implicitly dependent on this behaviour. Just no. rbenv is better, particularly due to totally not doing that sort of "magic".
- jabagonuts 11y agoOn the surface, Desk workspaces seem very similar to tmux sessions. I'm curious why one would choose Desk over tmux to manage multiple workspaces in the shell? https://robots.thoughtbot.com/a-tmux-crash-course https://robots.thoughtbot.com/a-tmux-crash-course
- nightcracker 11y agoFrom what I saw they're rather dissimilar. Desk reminds me more of Python's virtualenv.
- systemz 11y agoI don't understand this concept at all. How this can help me?
- aliakhtar 11y agoThe main feature seems to be that you're letting me use the same command in different environments, to do different things?
- eivarv 11y agoThis looks useful! I've also been working on tools to make user context switching easier on the terminal (such as a project of mine called prm[0]), and I'm currently working on bringing this sort of functionality to the desktop environment. If you (or anyone else) wants to talk about these sorts of things, or know of any good relevant research, please drop me a line here or at eivind dot arvesen at gmail dot com.
