I use ClipMenu to save clipboard history and will often copy a bunch of things one right after the other, and can use other shortcuts to easily select whole lines or expressions in my editor, so time between copy could be as little as 750ms I'd bet. Is the timeout configurable?
I have also found success setting `SNAPSHOT_DIR` to a directory in your repo and you can then use this along with ai tools in your editor!
But it doesn't even have to be used with ai. It's just a useful tool for taking a picture and having the file path immediately accessible.
Some of the most useful use cases:
- take image of whiteboard diagram and ask Claude Code to generate a chart in something like mermaid
- making todo lists from handwritten notes
- generating juice recipes from a picture of all the fruit on my counter
- take picture of notes to digitize
- language translation
- plant and insect lookup
- getting estimated macros from a picture of food
Would be useful to make this more cross platform. It only supports MacOS for now! And it's not extremely portable. Requires some deps to be installed. It's all in the README though.
Also, the Python landscape is just as bad as frontend! And I enjoy writing both quite a bit. Pip, pipenv, pyenv, poetry, conda, virtualenv, uv, ruff, black, pep8, etc, etc. They both need massive improvements.
