Oh no, I got that white thing wrapped around my keyboard

Here is one idea. If you have a comparted set of data, make it reachable as plain text

This idea is brilliant so fresh and untouched, divine in it's simplicity, make the productivity in the word jump like a happy kangaroo. Hmm, dollars, patents me profit...

... Where did I put that patent application ... find ./MyDocs --name "*atent*.tex" ... staring stupidly ... Ah shit, I'm just a young looser not knowing history.

One of the most basic feature that every application writer should add is to make it possible to parse that data with a tool set like the unix tool set. If I come to a graphical user interface and get some kind of a list-view of some data I should be able to select that view, push C-A-T and get a shell situated in a directory, in that directory I would have file(s) representing the data in the view and then be able to do whatever I imagine to do with that. implement this and you would liberate my keybord from the mental institution of ... well figure it out

Why textual representation in a shell? Well It solves 99.9 of the use cases quick enough and all the application writer has to do is ... well just recompile with gnome 2.40 or whatever that might get such a feature. That would be enough for me.

No you are wrong, you say, you should use a xml, relational databases objects spreadsheet, ...

BLOAT, the use case is not to write new applications, the use case is to do quick hacks. I do not want to count 47 rows by visual inspection of a lists I want to hack that figure in 3s.

Why the hell has not gnome,kde whatever realized this fact? I'm I stupid? Oh well, anyone here knowing how this can be realized, I can help.

Anyway I'm off relaxing, cheers
