Overview¶

Here are a few helpful tips for using iceberg.

Copy current date or time into the clipboard¶

date_YYYYMMDD = {path = function(args) ibs.set_clipboard(os.date("%Y%m%d")) end, history = false},
date_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS = {path = function(args) ibs.set_clipboard(os.date("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")) end, history = false},

Open a file that selected in an explorer with your editor¶

Select a file in an explorer and bring iceberg foward, then hit ctrl-m .

function on_key_down()
  local accept = 0

  ibs.bind_key("ctrl-m", function()
    local ex = wins.foreground_explorer()
    ibs.default_after_command_action(ibs.command_execute("vim", {ex.path .. [[\]] .. ex.selected[1]}))
    accept = 1
  end)

  if accept == 0 then
    accept = ibs.process_shortcut_keys()
  end
  return accept
end

Show files under a directory that is already registered as a command¶

Consider a case that C:\app is registered as a command named app . When you type app and hit ctrl-l in this case, the current directory of iceberg will be changed to C:\app . Files under C:\app can be shown by typing ./ .

Instant calculator¶

The following on_enter function allow you to perform numerical calculation quickly. Just type such as 10 + 20 and hit Enter.

function on_enter()
  local accept = 0

  local text = ibs.get_input_text()
  local ok ,r = ibs.regex_match("\\d+\\s+.*", Regex.NONE, text)
  if ok then
    ibs.default_after_command_action(ibs.command_execute("cal", {text}))
    accept = 1
  end

  return accept
end

Execute :scan_search_path command automatically when you start iceberg¶

function on_initialize()
  local error = 0
  local autoscan_file = ibs.join_path(ibs.CONFIG_DIR, ".autoscan")
  if ibs.file_exists(autoscan_file) then
    ibs.command_execute(":scan_search_path", {"all"})
    os.remove(autoscan_file)
  else
    local fp = io.open(autoscan_file, "w")
    fp:write("1")
    fp:close()
  end

  return error
end

Interact with foobar2000¶

foobar2000 = {
  path=[[path of a foobar2000 executable]],
  completion = function(values, pos)
    return {
      {value="/playpause", description = "Play/Pause"},
      {value="/stop", description = "Stop"},
      {value="/pause", description = "Pause"},
      {value="/play", description = "Play"},
      {value="/prev", description = "Prev"},
      {value="/next", description = "Next"},
      {value="/rand", description = "Random"},
      {value="/exit", description = "Exit"},
      {value="/show", description = "Show"},
      {value="/hide", description = "Hide"}
    }
  end,
  history = false
}
