Illegal Doodle Names

Given how commands are interpreted by noodle, certain doodle names are masked and therefore do not work. Additionally, noodle has some structure which also causes a few names to be disallowed.

Files in the working directory with a file name matching any of the following will be treated by noodle as if they don’t exist. Adding a file extension avoids a match.

a
base
c
clear
f
focus
g
grow
h
hide
meta
n
new
origin
remove
rm

Additional constraints exist based on the underlying filesystem. Consider the following when naming doodles:

  • character limit
  • allowed character set
  • reserved characters
  • case sensitive
  • maximum length of full path
  • reserved words
  • special characters
  • path separator
