I bought this simple ass little macropad that uses real keyboard switches and for like a year I had no idea how to use it. There was no dirt simple file configed little command I can plant in my i3/config and be happy with it so I built it!
It was my first attempt at building a production-level thing out of rust and I’m really happy with it. Now I can finally use my goddamn macropad!!
let config = match maybe_config { Some(c) => c, None => { panic!("didn't find config file"); } };let config = maybe_config.expect("didn't find config file");:)
I like the community idea. Hope to see more posts here.
Yeah this was written before I knew too much about rust, the syntax can definitely be reworked I just need to find the time.
let c_raw = cmd.to_string(); thread::spawn(move || { let c = Command::new("/bin/sh") .args(["-c", c_raw.as_str()]) .output();Did you try just splitting the c_raw into its command using
shlex. Could save the intermediate sh process?Edit: I guess you could also be using it for $PATH, in which case fair enough.
I have a vague memory that this is how I wrote it but now I’m noticing that I did that in similar projects and got my memory crossed… I need to do this.
