Thanks, xclip was the tool I was looking for. Sadly I switched to Plasma 6 two days ago and Wayland doesn't seem to have a similar tool (wl-paste just reads from the clipboard and not from the selected text).
After so many years, Wayland is still such a mess...
- c6401 3y agoYou might want to try to send ctrl+c (using something like xdotool or ydotool) to the app to copy the current selection to the clipboard and then to extract clipboard contents to use it in a script.
- arendtio 3y agoThanks again. I changed my Klipper configuration (the KDE clipboard application) to synchronize selection and clipboard. In addition, I added a global shortcut (F1) to execute this little script: https://bpa.st/WORA https://bpa.st/WORA It reads the clipboard (equal to the current selection) via wl-paste and sends a request to the Claude API via curl. Finally, it filters the response with jq (very crude) and displays it with notify-send. I have a second version of the script that sends the result via XMPP to Gajim because the answers can be quite long. I think the experience should be similar to the one on MacOS.
