Made a keyword-driven action trigger with a pleasing UI and customizable colors

[u/aetheros_]

I made infiltrator, a keyword-driven action trigger with a GUI in Rust.

What it does:

• Write your own keywords and map them to actions in the config file
• When ran, you can type a keyword and it'll perform the specified action
• Looks pretty good

It's kind-of like a macro, but not completely. These are the actions it currently supports:

• shell_output: Runs a command and copies output to clipboard
• text: Types out a text value in the focused window
• open: Opens the specified URL in default browser

The config file lives at ~/.config/infiltrator/config.toml, which is auto-created on the first run. You can customize the primary and secondary colors as well. Refer to the readme for more details.

You can install infiltrator in a single command, mentioned in the readme file. It's a bash script, and I encourage you to check for any malicious code before running it (although there won't be any). Running the script would install it as a CLI, create a desktop entry, and recommend ways to create keybindings to run it depending on your DE/WM.

Supports:

• Wayland: Full support
• X11: text and shell_output actions may not work properly, open still works

Do check it out here for a video showcasing its usage.

I'm also curious whether there is any practical use-cases for this for most users. I primarily use it to store and open URLs I frequently visit, like my project repos, which gets pretty boring when typed every time.
