plock

Can't speak to Yoink but I built a project a year or two ago that did something similar. I used a stupid simple method - input simulation (using the fantastic enigo library). And if you want context, you can simulate select all + copy, and access via clipboard. Similar if you want to replace, etc. https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/plock The goal of this project was to just be able to pipe / run arbitrary commands from any text context. But, that lined up well with LLMs usage.

enigo - Cross platform input simulation in Rust [1] enigo tries to make it easy for developers to simulate key presses or mouse movements on Linux, Windows and macOS. I try to hide the differences between operating systems and make it as simple as possible. It is the most popular crate to do so according to crates.io, but there are still a number of issues. A number of cool project use it such as - plock: Query and stream the output of an LLM from anywhere you can type [2] - RustDesk: Remote Access and Support Software (forked enigo) [3] I'm close to running integration tests in the CI to prevent regressions and find platform differences, but it's not fully working yet. If someone could get it over the finish line, that would be great. For Linux there is X11 but also basic Wayland implementation and a libei one, but they only work properl

I'm a big fan of this space and have been hacking on it too. With a few tricks you can use LLMs or anything else you can call from a script, from anywhere in your OS via input capture and simulation, and clipboard. And it can be cross platform! Here's the project, if it might interest anyone. https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/plock

Re Ollama in Zed It’s very early, but I’ve been building a “trigger command/script and have it output anywhere” project that you could use as a bandaid solution. I added Ollama support (you can specify model in settings) https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/plock It works wherever you are

After seeing a cool demo of a hack on Twitter, I built a cross platform version of it that works well and uses streaming. From anywhere on Mac and Linux, trigger Ollama and optionally feed it your clipboard. I built it yesterday and it's already very useful to me. I'm pretty excited about it and wanted to share!
