Bring Me
Bring me is a set of commands that allow the user to quickly invoke an item from a list of previously-saved items. Currently, these items are: programs, websites, folders, and files. The list of items is saved to the Caster user directory in the file settings/sm_bringme.toml
. On first installation, if no list of items exists yet, a default list of commands is created with documentation websites, common computer folders, and Caster Settings files. Say "bring me caster bring me" to bring up the bringme.toml
file.
Commands
- Add current element:
<target> to bring me as <key>
<target>
may be website, program, folder, or file.key
is the phrase you wish to use to invoke it later. You can usually omit<target>
and it will be detected automatically based on the context. If in a browser,<target>
defaults to website if omitted. If in File/Windows Explorer or a Save/Open dialog,<target>
defaults to file or folder if omitted depending on which item is selected in the file list. Otherwise,<target>
defaults to program if omitted.- Bring up the item:
bring me <item>
- For websites, this launches the default browser and opens the desired site.
- This launches programs.
- Folders are either opened or navigated to depending on the context. If in a terminal, File/Windows Explorer, or a Save/Open dialog the program will navigate to the folder.
- Use
bring me <item> in <terminal_explorer>
to open in a new window.<terminal_explorer>
can be terminal or explorer. - Files are opened using the system-default program for that file type.
- Refresh bring me after editing
bringme.toml
directly:refresh bring me
- Remove a key:
remove <key> from bring me
- Restore default keys:
restore bring me defaults
