where can I put that file?
Wherever you stick stuff you keep in your user's $PATH
- for me that's ~/.bin
, but whatever you use. You'd then assign it a GUI keyboard shortcut, but run it as a not-a-console program (because you don't want a console window to show up).
Also, I wrote this for classic X11, two computers ago - I don't know that it works with modern Wayland stuff.
