About Cool3S is a 'smart snippet system' that was designed by me to have a snippet library available in or from the shell.
Snippet - a reusable, or in this case also an on the spot
generated piece of text.
Of course being written as Bash shell script it turned out to be multi functional and you may use it to enter or read text in the shell or in able applications.
Usage Usage is fairly simple as long as you have a small knowledge of your OS and the Bash shell. Cool3s with default settings will present you with a menu of topics, after choosing one you will be offered a menu with snippets belonging too the chosen topic. After choosing a snippet it's content will be echoed to standard output, usually your screen.
Cool3s has a lot of switches and arguments that you can use on the command line. You can bypass the selection menu's and retrieve the snippet of your choice at once, you can choose a different output destination or have the snippet executed to create output.
Requirements Cool3s runs on any system running Bash as your shell. Create a directory where to put the subdirectories that form the subjects to store the snippets under. cool3s will search for ~/.cool3s as standard. If you use something else add it with the -d option. Now when you run cool3s it should present you with a list of subjects (dirnames) and after choosing one it should return with topics (filenames unless you use the -t option) that contain plain text to be send to the output device of your choice.

Future The program core is under full development. I'm open for suggestions and or aditions. Very important is the development of snippet libraries that will be offered in the download area outside the main distribution. Thus enabling people to download the libraries they want. So if you would like to add a library please let me know.
