Watch File Wl Copy

Watch File Wl Copy

Overview

Generate a npx tsx ...watch.ts command for a file in the current directory (even from a partial filename) and optionally copy the command to the clipboard.

Workflow

1. Identify the target file from the user's hint.
2. Generate a watch command using scripts/watch_cmd.py.
3. Ask permission to copy, then copy the command via wl-copy.

1) Generate the command

Run (from the directory containing the target file):

python3 scripts/watch_cmd.py "(1)"

Notes:

• Defaults to matching *.txt in the current directory. Disable filtering with --ext '*'.
• If no query is provided, it picks the most recently modified matching file: python3 scripts/watch_cmd.py.

If there are multiple good matches, the script exits with code 2 and prints a numbered list. Re-run with --index N:

python3 scripts/watch_cmd.py "(1)" --index 2

2) Copy to clipboard

Ask the user for permission to copy, then run:

python3 scripts/watch_cmd.py "(1)" --copy

If wl-copy is not available, run without --copy and paste the printed command manually.

scripts/

watch_cmd.py generates and optionally clipboard-copies the watch command; configure the watch.ts path via --watch-ts or $SUB_WATCH_TS.
