xbindkeys pipemenu

Just a thought - would we want a pipemenu for xbindkeys?

#!/bin/bash

mapfile -t lines <"$HOME/.xbindkeysrc"

for i in "${!lines[@]}"; do

	# Look for the lines that begin with double quote
	[[ ${lines[i]} == \"* ]] || continue

	# Print the comment which @johnraff has helpfully added before
	# as well as the actual keybinding on the following line
	printf '%s\n' "${lines[i-1]/\# /}	${lines[i+1]/    /}"

done

@brontosaurusrex
It's a bash builtin which reads a file into an array.
See Bash-Builtins.html

It's fast and clean
