QueQue — copy-pasting shell commands is dead

Before: Google it → copy → paste → tweak → pray.

Now: Type your intent, hit ??, pick a command — it lands in your buffer, ready to tweak and run.

Copy-pasting commands from the browser is dead.

Welcome to the future – brew install k-leumas/tap/queque

[!NOTE] After install, run qq init zsh >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc to wire up the ?? keybinding.

Requirements

• zsh
• Node.js ≥ 20
• jq

npm install -g @k-leumas/queque-cli
qq init zsh >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc

Expose API Key

QueQue resolves ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in order:

1. Environment variable — export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..." in your shell or .zshrc
2. .env.local file — place a .env.local in your project directory (or any parent). QueQue searches upward from the current working directory:

   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

The .env.local option is useful for project-specific keys or keeping the key out of your shell profile.

Usage

Type anything before ?? and QueQue turns it into a shell command:

list files by size??
find docker containers using port 3000??
git undo last commit but keep changes??

A selection UI opens in-terminal. Pick a command with arrow keys or fuzzy search, press Enter, and the command lands in your buffer — ready to run or edit before you commit.

Press Esc to cancel and return to what you were typing, you can even tweak your intent and hit ?? again.

Inside Zellij

QueQue detects Zellij automatically and opens in a floating pane instead of inline. Same trigger, same result, better layout.
