Miscellaneous scripts

If you're interested in any of this, let me know, and I can try to make it more usable.

• ln-compact - Takes a list of files on standard input, replaces duplicates with hard-links.
• screen-3.9.15-nav+nesting.tar.gz - patch to screen to allow (a) modification of window order (b) simplified communication with nested screen sessions. I've used this for several years, so I'm fairly sure that it's stable. The new commands are insert, up, down, top, and nav_mode.
• aoeu - change keyboard layouts to dvorak in the console and under X or the console. Put it in your path, along with a symlink to it called "asdf"; switch back and forth between keymaps by typing the left four keys on the home row (contact me if you know who to credit with the original aoeu/asdf naming idea).
• htmlman - indexes anchors and file names in html documentation. Allows fast access with tab-completion. Special modes tuned for haskell, mysql, and SGI STL documentation. To use it, you should source this file from your .zshrc: htmlman-complete and create aliases such as the following, also in .zshrc:

  alias hsman="htmlman -d hs -t haddock"
  alias build-hsman="hsman -b ~/doc/haskell-lib-doc/ /usr/share/doc/ghc*-doc/html/"
  alias sqman="htmlman -d mysql -t mysql"
  alias build-sqman="sqman -b ~/doc/mysql/"
  alias stlman="htmlman -d stl -t stl"
  alias build-stlman="stlman -b /usr/share/doc/stl-manual/html/"
  

  . Run build-hsman to create and update the index, and 'hsman foo' to look up symbol 'foo'.
• set-screen - set all (well, most - have a look at the code) of the environment variables of the current screen session to those of the current shell. These will be used for newly created windows. Useful if you often want to change to a new working directory, new DISPLAY, etc. for new windows.
• attach-screen - uses set-screen above. Attaches to the specified session, after calling set-screen to set SSH_AUTH_SOCK and DISPLAY so that new windows will have the correct ssh-agent and X11 display information. Enh.
• replace - replace text in files. Takes a perl expression. Has a "just show what would have been done" option (prints a set of diffs).
• mover - It moves almost everything in my home directory into a subdirectory called "old". Actually, it puts it into a timestamped subdirectory of ~/archive, with a symlink from ~/old to this directory, but the effect is nearly the same... I use it when things get too cluttered.
• cc-interp, hs-interp - Put these at the top of C++ or Haskell files to run them as scripts. They do compilation into /tmp, but only if the file has changed, so efficiency is good. Not sure if these are the best but they work.
• U.pm - My perl utility module. Has some useful debugging stuff like a function to print a string followed by the result of evaluating it in the function's caller's context. Might be depended on by some of the scripts above, although I'm trying to remove dependencies on it for things that other people end up using.
