dmenu-maim

==========

dmenu wrapper for maim (X11) or grim (Wayland), supporting saving to a file

and copying to the system clipboard, using the entire screen, a selection, or

the currently focused window.

Dependencies (X11): dmenu_, maim_ (and slop_), xdotool_, xclip_

Dependencies (Wayland): dmenu_, grim_, slurp_, wl-clipboard_

On Wayland, taking a screenshot of the selected window is currently only

supported on Sway_, because ``swaymsg`` is used to get the current window (as

in the example in |the grim README|_).

Arch Linux package

==================

Running ``makepkg --noextract`` should create an Arch Linux package. This

works because ``src/dmenu-maim`` is a symlink to the root of the repository.

Configuration

=============

The command lines used for ``dmenu`` and ``xclip`` / ``wl-copy`` can be

configured in the file ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dmenu-maim/config.ini`` (usually

``~/.config/dmenu-maim/config.ini``). Here is a sample config file which uses

``bemenu`` instead of ``dmenu`` on Wayland:

.. code:: dosini

  [x11]

  dmenu=dmenu -i -p

  xclip=xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png

  [wayland]

  dmenu=bemenu -i -p

  xclip=wl-copy -t image/png
