--outcmd equivalent for all verbs

[3tilley]

Hello,

I'm loving broot.

I'm hacking around on it, both my config and the code inside. --outcmd is great for debugging, as well as the obvious usage for br.

I think there would be some use for an equivalent for verbs executed inside broot. A file that gathers everything that was executed inside, so someone can see the effects of their verbs.

I think this could be especially useful for anyone writing their own verbs, and for that reason I would propose it as a CLI command - rather than just an env flag targetted at broot devs. What about --outverb? --verb-out(put) would probably be my preference, but consistency probably trumps.

If you agree, I'll start working on it.

I'm not sure I understand your use case. Is that some kind of log ?

Yes basically, I guess it could also be used to mark a load of files in the editor and come back to them later, but it's mainly for debugging verbs.

The reason I would say it's distinct from just using the log is that i get the impression that users are encouraged to hack around and create their own verbs, and this would make it a lot easier. If it was only for people hacking on broot itself I'd say they could use the log
