Plotinus: A searchable command palette in every modern GTK+ application
This code seems to be pretty hacky, it works by injecting a dynamic library into the program and then looping on a timeout to rescan every window and attach a key handler: https://github.com/p-e-w/plotinus/blob/master/src/Keybinder....

Plotinus: A searchable command palette in every modern GTK+ application\ (10 comments)
- What are your thoughts on having the application menu on the titlebar?
-
Global Menu
Sublime Text is actually a good example showing that the menubar and the command palette are two unrelated things. Sublime Text implements its own command palette, which has nothing to do with the global menu on macOS. A lot of apps do the exact same thing. I don't know why people insist on tying these two features together. You can even get menubar-less GTK apps a command palette with the GTK module Plotinus, without ever having to see a menubar.

I've just released TextShot, a *free* macOS app that makes copying text from images as easy as taking a screenshot
I love using macOCR it is a command line tool though, but I bind it to a keyboard shortcut using BetterTouchTool, although you could also use Raycast, Alfred, etc to run it

Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
I wrote a free Mac app to OCR any text on screen[1].
macOCR is a command line app that enables you to turn any text on your screen into text on your clipboard. When you envoke the ocr command, a "screen capture" like cursor is shown. Any text within the bounds will be converted to text.
You could invoke the app using the likes of Alfred.app, LaunchBar, Hammerspoon, Quicksilver, Raycast etc.
