ChatGPT for PowerToys Run

How to install

If you simply want to install the plugin to get up and running quickly, i suggest downloading the precompiled binaries from the Release section and installing the Tampermonkey user script The installation process is as follows:

1. Locate your PowerToys installation (eg. C:\Program Files\PowerToys)
2. Navigate to \modules\launcher\Plugins
3. Unpack the downloaded binaries

Compiling plugin

1. Clone the PowerToys repository to your local disk using the command git clone https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys.git
2. Navigate to the PowerToys directory using cd PowerToys
3. Initialize and update submodules with the command git submodule update --init --recursive
4. Fork the ChatGPTPowerToys repository on GitHub
5. Clone the fork of ChatGPTPowerToys into the local PowerToys repository by running git clone https://github.com/ferraridavide/ChatGPTPowerToys.git in the PowerToys\src\modules\launcher\Plugins directory
6. In Visual Studio, add the local clone of ChatGPTPowerToys as an existing project to the PowerToys's Plugins folder (modules\launcher\Plugins)
7. Compile

Unfortunately, ChatGPT does not provide a query string parameter for passing prompts. Therefore, we must utilize a browser extension to inject the prompt.

Using Tampermonkey (recommended)

Tampermonkey is a popular browser extension that allows to inject custom user scripts in webpages, visit tampermonkey.net to install it.

   const searchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);

           if (!textArea || !submitButton) {
               console.error("Cannot find required elements");
           }

           textArea.value = prompt;
           submitButton.disabled = false;
           submitButton.click();
       }, 500);
   }
})();
