That sounds absolutely amazing and something that I'm definitely going to be looking up when I go on my desktop later. Thank you for informing me
Be aware that a lot of distros will be switching from X11 to Wayland at some point in the not-too-distant future and these ancient tools will not work there.
People have tried to write equivalents (
ydotoolis one I'm aware of), but Wayland has intentionally been written to make doing such things difficult, for "security" reasons.I will be grumpy until I can make my scripts work again, but that's for future me to deal with.
Yeah, sadly, I'm aware. I know that Wayland is making its rounds. I'm not looking forward to it. I try it every once in a while to see if it's gotten better, but so far, every time I've tried, I have artifacting and tearing, which just doesn't happen on X11
