Execute command on select

[chipsenkbeil]

A feature I'd like is to be able to execute a command upon selecting from choose. The reason is that I currently leverage the existing choose program to pipe in choices from pass that I can select to copy to my clipboard.

The problem is that there is a bit of a delay from when I select from choose and when pass is able to copy to my clipboard. If I can execute directly from choose, I can provide a spinner or some indicator that it is still processing, rather than accidentally sending the wrong clipboard contents to some other application because I moved too quickly.

How do you use this with pass? It does not seem to copy my passwords to the clipboard if I use it like this:

pass -c |choose

Is there any way to get this working with choose?

For anyone wondering, this seems to work:

pass -c $(pass| cut -d" " -f2 |choose)
