sshyp v1.4.0

the argumentative agronomist update

this release overhauls sshyp's argument system and further streamlines
the experience with optimizations and the removal of legacy features

compatibility-breaking changes:

  • there are no technical breaking changes, but the UX has changed significantly due to the new argument system (detailed below)

user-facing features:

  • when typing an entry/folder name, it is now always the FIRST argument
    ^ e.g. instead of sshyp copy -p /example/test, it would now be sshyp /example/test copy -p
    ^ this allows more easily editing the previous command to copy/edit a different field
  • better extension integration
    ^ extensions can now ship with a config file that sshyp can use to call them from standard sshyp arguments
    ^ the first extension supporting this is sshyp-mfa
    ^ if sshyp-mfa v1.4.0.1+ is installed, sshyp /example/test copy -m will copy MFA keys to your clipboard
  • entry/folder names now MUST be specified as arguments
    ^ there is no longer a separate input prompt if the entry/folder name is not provided as an argument
    ^ the input prompt was a legacy feature from before arguments could specify entrys/folders with shell completion
    ^ the entry list generated by entry_list_gen() is still present and can be viewed by running sshyp with no arguments
  • better Bash completions
    ^ now correctly places backslashes to escape spaces in entry/folder names
    ^ slightly faster than the previous iteration
  • IPv6 configuration support

fixes/optimizations:

  • replaced "+=" with ".append" when extending lists to prevent creating an additional list
  • optimized usage of "str.split()" and replaced it with "str.splitlines()" where applicable
  • more concise "if... in ()" syntax replaces long "if" statement chains
  • lists have been substituted with tuples where applicable
  • entry_list_gen() has been re-written to be much smaller and faster
  • os.path is now used in place of pathlib.Path in areas where it is faster
  • the user's home directory is saved to a variable to prevent running expanduser() every time it is needed

other notable changes:

  • removed some uncommonly used, redundant arguments
    ^ e.g. "-rm", "-s", "delete"
    ^ their functionality was NOT removed, just their redundant arguments, since "shear", "sync", and "del" are the accepted syntax
  • errors containing entry/folder names reinforce correct syntax by adding leading/following slashes where necessary
  • thanks to pull request #25, there are new error messages for the read shortcut
    ^ includes when no entry name is provided or the entry name only refers to a directory
  • directories provided in user input are no longer denoted by a following slash
    ^ instead, os.path is used to determine if the user is referring to a file or directory
