Qwandry, a questionable tool

Why spend time trying to remember where libraries, projects, and packages are lurking when your computer can do it faster?

qw matrix        # opens ruby's matrix class in your editor
qw rails         # will ask you which version of rails you want to open
qw activerec 3.1 # will find the gem activerecord 3.1 and open it

You can also use Qwandry with other common languages:

qw -r python numpy # opens python's numpy library
qw -r perl URI     # open perl's URI library
qw -r node express # open express if it is installed for node

Installation

Qwandry is a standard ruby gem, on any system with ruby installed already simply install with:

gem install qwandry

Usage

Just type qw and the first few letters of what you're looking for. By default Qwandry is set up for locating and editing ruby libraries.

qw date # opens ruby's date library

Want to use Qwandry with Python, Perl, or other languages?

qw --customize 

Editor Selection

Qwandry uses environment variables to launch your configured editor. The following env variables are checked, in this order. The first value found is used.

QWANDRY_EDITOR
VISUAL
EDITOR

Setting QWANDRY_EDITOR allows you to specify an editor to be used with Qwandry only.
