What Hacker News says?

  1. Navi[1] is perfect for this! It's both a fuzzy finder of a personal collection of commands, but it's template syntax is flexible enough to be able to have "command builders" I have a blog on doing exactly this for a subset of strace[2]. 1: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi 2: https://kbknapp.dev/strace-navi/
