Configure a separate shell to run each command

[tuxitop]

Hello and thank you the efforts you've put in this great tool.

I have been using pet for a while and I like it a lot. Although there's something that I find a little bit limiting for my use. Currently there's a way to globally change the "cmd" option to run the commands with. but what if I have a list of commands that each can be run with a different shell or language.

I could have JavaScript code, Python snippets or anything and I could just configure each command to run with a different shell.

something like:

    Description = "reverse a string"
    Output = ""
    Tag = ["nodejs" "string"]
    command = "<sting>.split("").reverse().join("")"
    shell = ["node", "-c"]

This could make a huge difference. any code from any language could be used to create snippets.

Very interesting idea! 😁

The only counter point I can think of against doing this is:

We can already support this if you just prefix your command with 'node -c'. What benefit does having it in Pet snippet parameters offer on top? User is going to write the shell anyway. @tuxitop

If you using multiple snippet files config (aka snippetdirs = ["~/.config/pet/snippets/"]) you can create nodejs-snippets.toml and copy-paste as many snippets with node -c prefixes as you wish.

You can keep 'template' commented snippet at the top of this toml to copy-paste from.

# [[Snippets]]
#   Description = "snippetname"
#   Output = ""
#   Tag = ["nodejs"]
#   command = "\
