Hello group, as this is my first mail here I have to 'do' a statement first: Do absolutely rocks!!! It really works like a charm and boosts my productivity! Thanks a lot!! :-)
A use case which I'm often facing is, that I quickly want to check the package archive for existing packages and install what I find. Right now I open a terminal and search via "apt-cache search foo" look for what fits and then install it. Is there a way to do this directly with Do? I know the AptURL Install plugin, but it implies that I know the exact name of the package. While sitting on my couch I came up with the idea that it would be cool to be able to do something like the following: Summon Do => type 'search package' or something significant shorter :-) => type a search term => tab => a list of packages found by apt-cache gets displayed, select one and press return and the package then gets installed by the AptURL install plugin. Would it be better that I try to extend the AptURL plugin or to write a complete new?
