Save and Run Reg

Run saved file in Terminal

add relativeFile path as regex tester

Simplify original extension by pass command into Terminal directly without spawn process, so we don't lose output colors.

Features

Configure multiple commands that run when a file is saved
Regex pattern matching for files that trigger commands running
