Show HN: Zev – Remember (or discover) terminal commands
I'm often in the terminal and forget a command (or never knew it in the first place). This is a simple tool that lets you type out what you want, gives you several options, and then automatically puts the one you want in your clipboard.
- skeptrune 2y agoPerfect! This will be useful for me. I frequently ask the LLM for a command and then copy and paste it into the terminal already. Zev will be a nice upgrade.
- dodslaser 2y agoThere is a zsh plugin (zsh-github-copilot) that automates this process. Just type what you want to do, hit a custom keybind, and buffer is replaced by a command that does what you described. You can also have a second keybind that uses a zle widget to show an annotated description of the command currently in the buffer. It works surprisingly well, and has saved me from having to dig through manpages several times.
