Today I made a Linux version of Tyrone’s QuickPath tool.

My friend Tyrone came up with a great idea.

A directory switching tool, to move around in often used directories.
You can use a keyword to move around. These keywords are configured in a config file.
Even starting Total Commander with preset directories.
Work/Private/Programming environments.
His version uses PowerShell, but he wanted a multiplatform version, so we have chosen to use Python on both environments.

My version uses Python and Bash.
(Bash is used for a change directory workaround on Linux and bash completion.)

Source will be in Tyrone’s git when finished.

Options:

• qp – lists config items with number and short key
• qp 1 or qp c64demo – changes directory to below example
• qp add c64demo /data/store/git/projects/c64code2024 – add a entry
• qp del 1 – removes entry
• qp mc tmp c64demo – starts midnight commander with left and right directories

Tomorrow some laser cutting, so let’s design some things to cut.

• Jigsaw test – using engraving and cutting
• Make a front for my bus manipulator
• Make some cases for the game controllers (These are beta, and will be 3D printed at a later stage. My old 3D printer is slow)
