macbook优化-命令行打开App
在 macbook 上敲代码时,有时候想要打开QQMusic或者其它什么app,因为一直在命令行上操作,懒得去查看程序坞或者打开launchpad,所以想直接从命令行上启动App。macbook 可以使用 open AppPath
的方式打开App,但是输入 AppPath
比较麻烦。已经知道所有的App都安装在 /Applications
目录下,所以,如果写一个函数,直接到 /Applications
目录下查找想要的App,然后使用 open
命令打开,岂不是很方便 ?
bash 函数如下:
# start targetApp in /Applications, the specified targetAppName could be any sub string of the App's Name, ignoring the letter case
function start() {
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "usage: $FUNCNAME <targetAppName>"
return
fi
local targetApp
local APPDIR
local pureApp
local lowerCaseApp
local choice
targetApp=$(echo $1 | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z') #translate targetApp name to lower case, so when matching app's name, we can ignore the letter case
APPDIR=/Applications
for app in ${APPDIR}/*.app
do
pureApp=${app#${APPDIR}/}
lowerCaseApp=$(echo ${pureApp} | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')
if [[ $lowerCaseApp =~ ${targetApp} ]]
then
read -p "Shall I open ${app} ? (y/Y | n/N) " -t 5 choice
choice=$(echo $choice | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')
if [[ ${choice:0:1} == "y" ]]
then
open "${app}"
return
fi
echo
fi
done
echo "${1} not found in ${APPDIR}"
}
将该函数添加到 ~/.bashrc,然后执行 source ~/.bashrc
,即可成功运行了。
例如:
$ start qqm #尝试打开QQMusic
Shall I open /Applications/QQMusic.app ? (y/Y | n/N) y
$ start mic #尝试打开 Microsoft 软件
Shall I open /Applications/Microsoft Excel.app ? (y/Y | n/N)
Shall I open /Applications/Microsoft OneNote.app ? (y/Y | n/N)
Shall I open /Applications/Microsoft Outlook.app ? (y/Y | n/N)
Shall I open /Applications/Microsoft PowerPoint.app ? (y/Y | n/N) y
$ start word #尝试打开 Microsoft Word
Shall I open /Applications/Microsoft Word.app ? (y/Y | n/N) y
