q's Issues

Request to make "q" part of oh-my-zsh!

Title says it all.

Thanks.

Fix `Q_…` variables support

q conflicts with https://github.com/harelba/q
Changing the Q_{SET,RUN,UNSET} variables works only partially. There is still a messages that says q is already a command in your \$PATH! : when invoking Q_SET command. Here's my patch:

persistent q across session and across reboots ?

Hi,

Nice plugin!
Is it possible to have the registers persistent across reboot and across shells ?

Thanks.

question about the design

Hi, good idea but why would you ever install a trap for something that doesn't need it? I am probably missing a point, could you please enlighten me?

Everything broken if using this

I really like this script. But if using it in Ubuntu 14.04 bash strange things happens.

For example if executing simple things like

echo "foo" | grep bar

The grep command does not finish but is somewhat in background. This happens on multiple different configuration of 2 other colleges of mine. We just deinstalled it for now ;(

q.sh breaks Cobra-based autocomplete and leaks the debug settings

What is says in the title. #7 fixes this.
