Magically insert `iex -S` in front of a command
Often times you need to execute an elixir function with iex
to enable pry breakpoints.
I found that I was doing a lot of fumbling in zsh to go back to the previous command, jump to the beginning of it and type out iex -S
.
Since I like to automate repeatitive processes, I came up with this:
bindkey -s "^Xi" "^[Iiex -S ^[A"
Dump this line in your .zshrc
or .bashrc
and then all you have to do is Ctrl+xi
to insert iex -S
in front of the previously ran command.
Magic. 🎩
