# when there's an open anki window, and we're entering conjugations for verbs # or whatever, it's nice to automatically advance the conjugation form. # for instance, if your card key is: # What is the yo form conjugation for ir in the imperfect? # Your next one will naturally be # What is the tú form conjugation for ir in the imperfect? sleep 0.25 # firstly, get the card key text xdotool sleep 0.2 key ctrl+a ctrl+c sleep 0.25 # now the key is in our clipboard text=$(xclip -out -selection clipboard) form=$(echo "$text" | sed ' s/.*\( yo \).*/\1/; s/.*\( tú \).*/\1/; s/.*\( él\/ella\/usted \).*/\1/; s/.*\( nosotros \).*/\1/; s/.*\( vosotros \).*/\1/; s/.*\( ustedes \).*/\1/ ') case "$form" in " yo ") next="tú" ;; " tú ") next="él/ella/usted" ;; " él/ella/usted ") next="nosotros" ;; " nosotros ") next="vosotros" ;; " vosotros ") next="ustedes" ;; " ustedes ") next="yo" ;; esac printf "text: %s\n" "$text" printf "form: %s\n" "$form" printf "next: %s\n" "$next" new_text=$(echo "$text" | sed "s|$form| $next |g") echo -n "$new_text" | xclip -in -selection clipboard xdotool key ctrl+a ctrl+v
