Seamless command-line utils

Take one-liners (or [longer scripts](https://xenodium.com/png-to-icns-emacs-dwim-style/)) and make them [seamless command-line utils](https://xenodium.com/seamless-command-line-utils/).

Very cool, and a well written blog post as well. I’ll definitely be trying this out! You make a convincing argument for moving some more complex commands to Emacs functions.

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

I was thinking wouldn't it be better to take input for the output pdf name as joined(u) as default value? Other than that it seems like a cool concept. I keep forgetting commands too and have to look through History. Also will these increase emacs init time?

>I was thinking wouldn't it be better to take input for the output pdf name as joined(u) as default value? Ah maybe. Thanks. Could give that a try, but will likely need a helper function to read file names with basic validation (ie. ensure expected extension, non-empty string, non-existing file, etc). Until then, `dwim-shell-command-on-marked-files` automatically places point on the new file created. Use `C-x C-q` to rename the new file. >Also will these increase emacs init time? Doesn't have to. Can be lazy loaded via `use-package` or preferred method.

Thanks. Glad you like it.

👍👍

Really cool idea! Another useful tool could be one that adds the page numbers to a pdf. I usually use the method from [dry-labs](https://www.dry-lab.org/blog/2018/numbering-pages-of-a-pdf), this allows me also to insert the name of the pdf in the header. Also I don't know any other "one" liner.

>usually use the method from dry-labs Handy. Saving. Thanks! >Also I don't know any other "one" liner. Btw, dwim-shell-command should work with multi-line scripts [https://xenodium.com/png-to-icns-emacs-dwim-style](https://xenodium.com/png-to-icns-emacs-dwim-style) and multiple languages [https://xenodium.com/emacs-dwim-shell-command-multi-language](https://xenodium.com/emacs-dwim-shell-command-multi-language)

Works like a charm, thank you! You can find the script in [my config](https://github.com/moberga/my-doom#dwim-functions) if you need it.
