An improved PopClip extension to run selected text in Terminal. This project is derived from willbchang/alfred-run-in-terminal

1. Go to release page
2. Download and unzip RunInTerminal.zip.
3. Double click RunInTerminal.popclipextz to install.

1. Auto-detect whether current selected text is a filepath and run cd if it is.

   • ~ will be auto expanded to /Users/USER_NAME for checking the filepath.
   • Spaces before filepath will be removed in order to use cd.

   Input:

   ~/Library/Application Support/

   Output:

   cd "/Users/USER_NAME/Library/Application Support/" 

2. Auto remove the solo $ in the beginning of lines.

   • Some bash code snippets always prefix with $, it's annoying when copy and running them.
   • It won't affect the bash argument, only the $ with space will be removed, regex: /^\s*\$\s+/

   Input:

   $ temp=$(mktemp)
     $ echo "$temp"
   $ rm "$temp"
   $(whoami)

   Output:

   temp=$(mktemp)
   echo "$temp"
   rm "$temp"
   $(whoami) 

3. Auto-detect whether current Terminal tab is running command, it will open a new tab if current tab has active process.

   • Tested with zsh, bash and fish.
   • Support figterm.

4. It won't mess up with escaping characters even though this extension uses ruby, applescript and shell script together.

   Input:

   variable="This is a \$10 \"quote\""
   echo $variable

   Output:

   variable="This is a \$10 \"quote\""
   echo $variable

Only Terminal.app is supported, the AppleScript that Terminal.app uses is not compatible with iTerm.app, pull requests are welcome for iTerm.app or other terminal emulators.
