If you find yourself running the same set of commands over and over, throw 'em in a shell script and keybind it! It may be obvious, but good to keep in mind.

One fun one is to pipe clipboard to qrencode


it's a simple and (nearly) universally supported way of getting a URL, etc., from a laptop/desktop to a phone.

Another great one is to take a screenshot, upload to your server, and put the URL in the paste buffer. Bonus points to put the URL in the middle click buffer and the image itself in the ctrl-v buffer.

Honestly creating your own binds is so big

Hyprland has permanently changed the way I use a computer, pretty much everything I need on speed dial and opens/closes almost instantly

Also wrote a script to cycle through my audio devices and bound that to a button because I used to forever be fucking around with the gui every time I wanted to show someone a video on speaker or something

Just wish I could so the same on android

And track this stuff in git so you don't need to remember how you did it when you inevitably forget, lol.
