zet screenshot utility
A big portion of the Zet-CLI that is missing is the ability to quickly create screenshots and input them into the markdown file.
I've seen a few things that are similar, with one being a utility script/Vim
addon that would push the screenshots to an /img/<some img>.png
that can
be referenced locally.
I believe doing the following would be better (needs to be tested):
- Create a Vim function that calls a Bash script
- Passes the script the current working directory of the
.md
- Via the clipboard? Or is this saved in a buffer somewhere when started?
- Opens
gnome-screenshot
using the "filename" and "selection" flags - After exiting it prints
![](./some/path/datetime-img-#.png)
- Passes the script the current working directory of the
Script idea:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
img_count=$(ls *.png | wc -l)
some_path_to_directory=<some clipboard thing?>
filename="$HOME/$some_path_to_directory/$(date '%Y%m%d%H%M%S-img-$img_count')"
gnome-screenshot -a -border-effect=shadow -f $filename
# uses xclip to pipe the full filename back
filename | xclip
Vim idea:
function! s:screenshot()
" full path
let @+ = expand("%:p")
" copy the registry to the clipboard
:w !pbcopy
" execute shell script
:! /path/to/some/bash.sh
endfunction
