#13since all other Cortex debuggers sucked in some way or another (not scriptable, took too long to support new chips, too expensive, pain in the ass to use, etc)

#20The command "list" to find stuff in the current directory, recursively. Basically "find | grep". Works if you have the Python module or Java package name / path, since "." will match any character, including slashes :-)
#!/usr/bin/env sh
if [ "$1" = "-h" ]; then
exec cat
And "fkt", which will open the files returned by list with your preferred editor (f for find, kt for kate, because that's my editor and didn't find any fitting name for this command) #!/usr/bin/env sh
editor=kate
if [ "$FORCE_EDITOR" ]; then
editor=$FORCE_EDITOR
fi
help () {
exec cat
Turns out, I use "list" dozens of time per day, I forgot a bit about fkt but I might get back to it thanks to this post because I often copy-paste results from list to open them. I had forgotten about adding this confirm prompt :-)I'm sure there are existing, better, tools for this though.
(I've never tested them on non GNU systems, there might be GNUisms in them)
