scripts

Collection of various shell scripts.

chkblayout

Switch keyboard layout. For use in window managers/desktop environments.

Requirements: bash, awk/grep, setxkbmap

chvol

Change the volume of the pulseaudio defaukt sink. Optionally, it can display a notification showing the volume as progress.

Requirements: egrep, pulseaudio, ponymix, notify-send` (libnotify)

dict.cc.py

Query the dict.cc online-dictionary. Adapted from raaapha/dict.cc.py and reworked/extended.

The script's output is tab-delimited, meaning each line begins with the searched phrase, then a tab character and then the translation. This normally does not look very pleasing, so I recommend piping the output to column:

$ ./dict.cc.py "spam" | column -t -s $'\t'

Requirements: python>=3.3

merge_mp3s.py

Merges a directory of MP3 files into a single file and adding duration and title of the individual tracks as chapters. This is a solution to make CD rips of audio books easier to handle by combining tracks while keeping the metadata.

Note: I haven't really found many programs that can acutally read and show the chapters. The only one I found is ffmpeg.

Requirements: python3 (tested with 3.7), eyed3 (tested with 0.9), natsort (tested with 7.0), ffmpeg (optional)
