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 didn’t know about the systemd-run command. Do you use it to save the command log? I created a script conveniently named x which opens a file in a default app, in the background, so I can still use the terminal. But then I had the problem with handling logs and this sounds like a perfect solution. Gonna try it today.

    As for the alias, I wanted to create a pacman-like interface for systemctl, so the commands would be much shorter, but never finished it. For example, sctl -Eun unit would be equal to sysyemctl enable --user --now unit

      The logs are handled, but I mostly use it for command separation and control, including killing unruly child processes.
