Allow "trash-restore $path" about trash-cli HOT 5 CLOSED

I've implemented a sort of trash-restore [pattern], in this commit 421bf25 .
Please try out and let me know if it is going in the right directions.

Comments are welcome!

Thank you.

Let's not burden the dev with things that are built into linux- we can already sort restorable paths. The colrm command is, afaik, part of the core system utils on all linux distros. It removes a range of "columns" from text output. The trash-list command outputs 20 columns for the date and timestamp (might be different on your system if you don't use 24h time), so we can eliminate the timestamp using colrm to just get an output of absolute paths.
$ trash-list | colrm 1 20
The sort command is also, afaik, part of the core system utils for all linux distros. Read its manpage to learn about different sorting methods, but for the purpose of sorting by path:
$ trash-list | colrm 1 20 | sort

That just leaves the feature request: trash-restore [pattern]. You could easily specify a path as your pattern.

Agreed, @Link-Satonaka

I agree with this problem. I want to (not) to do this:
trash-put
And after that:
trash-restore !^
But because trash-restore just shows a menu, it's become impossible.

I'm closing this issue, feel free to comment or reopen as you find something to add or fix.
