kittygifs

A tool to optimize your gifkittyposting, and of course posting of other gifs.

Installation(Tauri app)

The Tauri app is the recommended way to use kittygifs, because you can open it with a keyboard shortcut and send a gif with utmost haste.

Linux

If you are on Arch Linux or a derivative, you can install kittygifs-bin or kittygifs-git from the AUR.

You can download the AppImage and .deb from the releases page.

You have to have xdotool(for X11) or ydotool(for all) set up. For xdotool, you can simply install it.

For ydotool you have to install it (just ydotool in Arch's Extra repo), add your user to the input group(sudo usermod -aG input $USER), restart your system, and start the ydotool service with systemctl --user enable --now ydotool, and include --ydotool in the command for the kittygifs shortcut.

Then follow instructions in Usage below.

Other

You can get it from the Microsoft Store.

Usage

Windows

Press Ctrl+Shift+G to open the popup. Simply put in your query and send a gif. Done.

The keyboard shortcut can be changed in the settings.

Linux

On Linux you have to manually set the keyboard shortcut. For KDE Plasma, you can do that in the System Settings under Shortcuts.

The command should be like so:

kittygifs --popup --popup-delay 40 --enigo-delay 500

If you are using ydotool, you have to add --ydotool to the command.

If you have trouble with sending the gifs try with the arguments at their default values 70 and 12000.
