Take a screenshot and host it

[rememberYou]

First of all, thank you for your package which probably facilitated a large number of people.

I had thought that maybe it would be interesting to also be able to use imagemagick already built-in with GNU Emacs, to take a screenshot and directly host it, instead of always having to select an image in our system.

Therefore, the person can either select an image from his system or directly take a screenshot. What do you think of this idea?

Hello Terencio!

Thanks for the kind words, I'm hoping it'll be useful to others!

I'd suggest writing a function to take a screenshot, then just calling (imgbb-upload filename). I'd prefer to keep this package simple, and not include support for anything not directly related to imgbb. I'll gladly add a section to the README on how to add such a function to your init.el though, so others can see how this package could be used. Do you already have code to create a screenshot without external dependencies? I use maim myself, bound to `s-n' with exwm, that works very well for me, but I'm always open to new ideas (especially if they mean I have to install fewer non-Emacs tools ;) Greetings, Peter

Hello Peter,

I'm for mentioning the use of screenshot with your package in README. I said that because taking a screenshot and automatically hosting it, is a very common request by users on IRC.

To create a screenshot, here is a link that may be useful.

Thank you for your answer.
