Consider, say, two underscore (_) characters to be used as the command to edit the line in the separate dialog. Maybe put a prompt as the first menu (with __ as prefix) to inform how to edit a line.

In case of quicker prompts, the next inputs can be provided separated by space. For example, translation:

• typing some letters and hitting tab (for choose-gui) will autocomplete the whole name
• then hitting space and the to lang, (or both from-to) can be easier than navigating with arrows on the next prompt
• implement this in a piping fashion, so a single input can be propagated to next prompts, avoiding more GUI

Take the usage profile menu feature out of text.sh and put in a separate script to handle every menu for every tool. It should receive as input the menu options and output such options ordered according to the usage profile

This causes errors on new installs

edit text_chatgpt_tool.sh and swap the prompt for chaining with main text tool. If choices in the main menu remains chatGPT, keep looping. Otherwise, exit the session and keep chaining.

Implement human-readable arguments so they are self explanatory instead of $0, $1, etc. Document the IO of each text tool and the main text.sh. Create also a dummy tool template for new tools and add it in README.md

separate:

• text tools (dictionary, translate, etc)
• supporting tools (the ones used by text tools)
• core (scripts to support the main tool)

This script should address:

• installing tools such as choose-gui, jq, pandoc, links, etc
• prompting for configuration (e.g., chatGPT API-key)
• place information at ~/.config/verbatim (textprofile.log, configs, etc)

Chaining goes more and more specific and sometimes it can be useful to go back to a previous input many times if there are many pieces of text there to process.

• Send output to clipboard
• Open history to backtrack (See #7 )
• Use clipboard as input (cant paste, but command will retrieve what is in the clipboard)
• use whole line without editing
• edit output line

make it configurable and create aliases for different calls of choose-gui or dmenu with their parameter configuration
