Create files from Terminal in current working directory #285

Open SubhadeepJasu opened 6 years ago

SubhadeepJasu commented 6 years ago

1) Scratch always creates new file in ~\ directory when running scratch-text-editor file command. Scratch should create new files in the current working directory where the terminal is opened. So if we hit cd ~/Documents/ && scratch-text-editor newFile.txt, scratch should open the file in ~/Documents instead of ~/. (This is a problem only when creating a new file via terminal, ie when the specified file does not exist.)

~2) Shorten the terminal command for scratch. Just scratch is much better than scratch-text-editor. If scratch if re-branded to Code (as envisioned by Daniel Fore) then the command would be anything other than code because Visual Studio Code uses the command code too. So anything like ecode or gcode or any short name should be good.~

@SubhadeepJasu this is two separate issues. I'll keep this issue as the first point, but the second point is moot because elementary is RDNNing all apps. You're welcome to set up an alias to whatever you'd like, though.

Thanks! I still feel that any command shorter than io.elementary.code could have been easier to write in terminal. Or may be I am just lazy lol. No problem.

I can't reproduce this issue, is it sill unsettled?

I can confirm it happens. I just downloaded eOS Juno and installed all updates/upgrades.

I am using this alias as a very simple quick workaround:

alias ecode="io.elementary.code $PWD/"

So I can call one file in the current working directory:

ecode main.cpp
