My goto app is flameshot on X.
I've found it buggy on Wayland so I use the following combo with grim, slurp, wl-copy and swappy to achieve the same results :
#!/bin/bash FILEDIR=~/Downloads/scrots/ IMG=$FILEDIR$(date +%F_%H-%M-%S).png grim -g "$(slurp)" $IMG wl-copy < $IMG swappy -f $IMG
Update time and date from network clock
#!/bin/bash curlinero=`curl https://savvytime.com/local/france 2>/dev/null | grep -i stLocationTimeM` heure=`echo $curlinero | grep -oE '(([0-9]){2}:){2}([0-9]){2}'` date=`echo $curlinero | grep -oE '([0-9]){4}-([0-9]){2}-([0-9]){2}'` echo $date echo $heure sudo date +%F -s $date sudo date -s $heure
Update timezone
timedatectl list-timezones
timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Paris

yaourt

Thèmes Kvantum
source
sudo pacman -S kvantum-qt5
- Select Kvantum from System Settings → Application Style → Widget Style and apply it. - Select Kvantum from System Settings → Color → Scheme and click Apply. You could change the color scheme later if you choose another Kvantum theme with Kvantum Manager (see “Using Other Themes” below).
to install a theme, download the archive and copy the folder containing the .kvconfig and the .svg into /usr/share/Kvantum/$THEME_NAME/.
Kill process in 1 line
show the process :
ps axf | grep <process name> | grep -v grep | awk '{print “kill -9 ” $1}'
pipe to sh to kill it
ps axf | grep <process name> | grep -v grep | awk '{print “kill -9 ” $1}' | sh
Bookmarks
A quick bookmarking script first seen in this video (invidous link).
The goal is to store the content of what was highlighted at the time (using xclip) in a file .bookmarks. We then, read this file with dmenu.
#!/bin/bash bookmark=`xclip -o` file="$HOME/.bookmarks" if grep -q "^$bookmark" "$file"; then notify-send "already exists" else notify-send "Bookmark added !" "$bookmark" echo "$bookmark" >> "$file" fi
Then in my .config/i3/config i have the following shortcuts
bindsym $mod+Shift+b exec ~/s/add-bookmark bindsym $mod+b exec xdotool type "$(grep -v '^#' ~/.bookmarks | dmenu -i -l 50 | cut -f1)" bindsym $mod+n exec xdotool type "$(grep -v '^#' ~/.bookmarks-ssh | dmenu -i -l 50 | cut -f1)"
⚠️ this script was written for i3 under X, using Wayland you will need to replace xdotool type with wtype and xclip -o by a command base on wl-clipboard

Using X with xsel : yt-dlp –write-sub -f bestvideo+bestaudio `xsel -ob`
Using wayland with wl-paste (seems that wl-type can't fully replace xsel in this situation, using a temp file as buffer) :
#!/bin/bash cd "/path/to/download/folder" wl-paste > /tmp/youtube-paste-to-dl #launching in a detached terminal to make it work with shortcuts xfce4-terminal -e 'yt-dlp --write-sub -f bestvideo+bestaudio -a /tmp/youtube-paste-to-dl' rm /tmp/youtube-paste-to-dl
