I read HN every day and this is the first time I've seen this submission...
The last one of these that popped up on HN replaced a lot of the common UNIX commands, and a lot of people here rightly asked 'why would I run "mac tar:extract" when I could just run "tar xf"?' This one seems to get the balance a lot more right, with a lot of things that the average OS X admin wouldn't know off the top of their head. - 'm lock': That's a lot better than whichever arcane key combination does it by def…
I"m curious about why it's written in sh, given that it's OS X only and OS X includes by default many languages significantly less crappy than Borne Shell.

Presumably because most of the commands are just shortcuts for other shell commands. Probably the right tool for the job in this case.

Not sure I like the install method. I'm nervous of anything that asks me to pipe curl to shell.
the best way to get rid off the discomfort is to first check the shell script: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rgcr/m-cli/master/install.... | pbcopy Then you can paste it in a text editor and if it is not too long you can verify the script. And as this one is on github you can take a look directly.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rgcr/m-cli/master/install..... > install.sh

Someone would ask why not write it in sh, if it was written in Python, Ruby, Perl, or Tcl. I prefer stuff like this in sh.
The volume plugin has a more fine-grained control for adjusting the volume. The keyboard based function keys will increase/decrease the volume by 6/7. Now I can increase by smaller increments. Excellent.
