A simple tool to take and upload screenshots to teknik.io
tekaim is available on the AUR. You can either install it with makepkg or your preferred AUR helper:
yay -S tekaim
pikaur -S tekaim
trizen -S tekaim
etc
tekaim depends on Python 3+, maim, curl, and xclip. Ensure you have these installed beforehand. At this time, tekaim only supports Linux.
Go to the latest release and download tekaim-X.Y.Z.tar.gz, then use the following commands to untar and install it:
tar -xf tekaim-X.Y.Z.tar.gx
cd tekaim
python setup.py install
The final command may require sudo permissions to install.
Run tekaim and make a selection. After a few seconds, the URL to your uploaded image will appear. By default, tekaim will upload to teknik.io. The URL will also be copied to your clipboard.
Screenshots are saved to ~/.tekaim/screenshots/ and image links and deletion links are saved to ~/.tekaim/history/.
- '-f': take screenshot of entire desktop
- '-d': developer mode
- load config from same directory as executable
- print debug info
By default, tekaim's config file is stored in ~/.config/tekaim/config.json. The config file supports single-line, C-style comments. The default config file has a comment explaining each option.
If the config file is missing, tekaim should automatically download the default file from this repository. If you need the default config for whatever reason, it can be found here.
By default, tekaim depends on maim for screenshots, curl for uploading, and xclip to copy to your clipboard. If you want to use something different, you can configure commands and arguments in config.json.
