✨ AEROSPACE-ECHO ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to aerospace-echo — it lives in the AeroSpace Manual and it's genuinely the simplest little icon in the whole fleet, but do not sleep on it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

aerospace-echo — print arguments and interpolation variables to stdout. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

aerospace echo [-h|--help] [--stderr] [--window-id <window-id>] — <string>...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it prints the <string>... arguments and the interpolation variables to stdout. simple. iconic. no cap.

and like… you can pair it with other commands to do a whole bunch of things, fr fr:

  • you can test shell operators 👀
  • you can pipe an explicit input into some other command (think workspace) from inside an eval — it's giving main character energy
  • you can print interpolation variables for the focused window (peep list-windows for the full list of interpolation variables, iykyk)

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h, --help — print help. the classic. the goat 🐐
  • --stderr — print to stderr instead of stdout. same vibe, different stream ✨
  • --window-id <window-id> — act on the window you specify instead of the focused window. heads up: this flag takes precedence over the AEROSPACE_WINDOW_ID and AEROSPACE_WORKSPACE environment variables. flag wins, periodt 👑

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • <string> — the argument to print. each <string> argument can contain interpolation variables, similar to those in the list-windows command. and yes you can pass multiple <string> arguments — each one gets printed on its own separate line. lowkey satisfying 🌈

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

  • print the focused window title: aerospace echo -- %{window-title} — literally that easy, ate 💀
