Just wondering since I know a lot of people quietly use a screen-area-select -> tesseract OCR -> clipboard shortcut.
- I separate subjects of interest into different Firefox windows, in different workspaces – so I have an extension title them and a startup script parse text to ask the compositor to put them in the correct workspace (lets me restart more conveniently).
- I have automatically-set different-orientation wallpapers for using my 2-in-1 depending on whether I use it in portrait or landscape (kind of just for looks, but I don’t think if anyone else adds a wallpaper change to their screen rotation keybind).
I am indecisive when it comes to wallpapers so I have a script somewhere which accepts tag-words as arguments and then scrapes wallhaven.cc for those words at the resolution of my setup and picks one that contains those words at random before downloading it to my wallpapers folder and setting it as my wallpaper image.
So for example, you could just know you want something blue so you would run
wallpaper blueand it just grabs one and sets it. You could get a wallpaper of the sky, of a blue car, of the ocean, whatever happens to be a wallpaper that met the criteria of the word/s supplied.KDE actually has a plugin that does just that, I use it currently to rotate a fantasy illustration as my wallpaper every hour from that site.
Oh neat!
My script is for gnome, but I wonder if there us an equivalent gnome extension in existence as well.
