Hardware accelerated keyboard driven screen selection tool.

Add this to the inputs of your flake.nix

seto = {
  url = "github:unixpariah/seto";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

Then in either environment.systemPackages or home.packages add the following:

inputs.seto.packages.${pkgs.system}.default

Clone this repo and run makepkg -si

$ git clone https://github.com/unixpariah/seto.git
$ cd seto
$ makepkg -si

1. Install dependencies:

• zig
• wayland
• libxkbcommon
• libGL
• freetype
• fontconfig
• ydotool (optional: tests)
• scdoc (optional: man pages)

2. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/unixpariah/seto.git
cd seto

3. Build and run

zig build -Dmax-instances=100 -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe run

Controls how many characters can be rendered in a single draw call. Higher values typically improve performance but may cause issues on:

• Older GPUs
• Drivers with strict shader array limits

Configuration can be done using lua. By default, seto will look for config at ~/.config/seto/config.lua.

You can also specify a custom path to your configuration directory:

seto -c <PATH>

Run man 5 seto for more information

Select single point and print it to stdout:

seto

Select region instead of single point:

seto -r

Take screenshot with grim

grim -g $(seto -r) - | wl-copy -t image/png

Output just x and y positions move mouse, and click using ydotool (specific syntax for escaping newline works in bash and zsh but may not in other shells):

ydotool mousemove -a $(seto -f $'%x %y\n') && ydotool click 0xC0

Took a lot of inspirations from slurp :)
