Some time back, I noted on Tidbits how, frustrated by Firefox's useless file-picker, I've resorted to using a shell alias to copy file names to the clipboard. To recall:
$ alias xcp alias xcp='dcop klipper klipper setClipboardContents' $ xcp /home/antrix/file/to/send.txt
So what happened is that quite frequently, I found myself navigating to a directory in the shell and then using pwd to build the full file path for xcp. Like so:
$ xcp `pwd`/send.txt
As you can imagine, typing that pwd soon became a chore. Happily, BASH to the rescue again:
$ function fcp { > xcp `pwd`/$1 > } $ $ fcp send.txt
That's it! Another bit of irritation solved :-)
And this has been another presentation from the mildly-interesting-to-four-people department.
