Maybe you want to try this little peace of code: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
alias findflag="flagedit --desc --list | grep -i" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Works really great. If you search for a pattern, just "findflag foo". If |
| 20 |
you search for a specific use-flag you just add ":" at the end, like |
| 21 |
"findflag bar:" |
| 22 |
Don't forget to install flagedit first, if you haven't already. |
