Telepipe

Run command-line apps smoothly.

Telepipe is a command-line shell for GNOME.

You can run command-line applications as you normally would in a terminal, with additional text processing capabilities. Output from commands is treated like a text editor, which means text can be dragged-and-dropped elsewhere, command output can be amended for clarity, and you can use the mouse to move the cursor when entering a command.

Telepipe also natively interfaces with the system clipboard, allowing its contents to be redirected into commands, command output to be copied to the clipboard automatically, or both.

When combined with standard command-line utilities for text processing, Telepipe’s clipboard redirection grants the capability to easily use advanced text editing even in text editors lacking sophisticated features for modifying text. Copy the source text, then pipe it into the desired shell command pipeline, and paste the result back.

Telepipe is undergoing active development, but can still be used today. Installation instructions along with its source code can be found on my GitHub.
