Intro

TCL-Expect scripts are an amazingly easy way to script out laborious tasks in the shell when you need to be interactive with the console. Think of them as a "macro" or way to programmaticly step through a process you would run by hand. They are similar to shell scripts but utilize the .tcl extension and a different #! call.

Setup Your Script

The first step, similar to writing a bash script, is to tell the script what it's executing under. For expect we use the following:

#!/usr/bin/expect

I use tmux splits (panes). Inside one of these panes there's a Vim process, and it has its own splits (windows).

In Vim I have key bindings C-h/j/k/l set to switch windows in the given direction. (Vim default mappings for windows switching are the same, but prefixed with C-W.) I'd like to use the same keystrokes for switching tmux panes.

An extra goal that I've solved with a dirty hack is to toggle between last active panes with C-\.

Here's how it should work:

Title

<Additional information about your API call. Try to use verbs that match both request type (fetching vs modifying) and plurality (one vs multiple).>

URL

<The URL Structure (path only, no root url)>
Method:

	package slick.lifted

	import scala.slick.driver.MySQLDriver.simple._
	import slick._

	object CaseClassMapping extends App {

	// the base query for the Users table
	val users = TableQuery[Users]

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	#
	# This is sp, the command-line Spotify controller. It talks to a running
	# instance of the Spotify Linux client over dbus, providing an interface not
	# unlike mpc.
	#
	# Put differently, it allows you to control Spotify without leaving the comfort
	# of your command line, and without a custom client or Premium subscription.
