The upstream app is macOS-only (Swift/SwiftUI, CoreML/WhisperKit) and can't run on Linux or in a container. This adds a native host tool under linux/ that reproduces the workflow: focus any text field, press a hotkey, speak, and the optionally-rewritten text is typed into that field. - Engine: pynput global hotkeys → mic record → local faster-whisper → optional OpenAI-compatible rewrite → xdotool typing into the focused window - Frontends: system tray (AppIndicator, default), tkinter control panel, and headless modes - Config-driven workflows in ~/.config/blitztext/config.toml with per-workflow prompt/model/temperature overrides - Packaging: install.sh, requirements.txt, systemd user unit - Targets X11; local transcription runs CPU int8 on this arm64 host See linux/CHANGELOG.md and linux/README.md for details.

"""Deliver text into the focused window via xdotool (X11).
|
|
|
|
Two strategies:
|
|
- "type" : xdotool types the text directly (no clipboard side effects).
|
|
- "paste" : put text on the clipboard, then send Ctrl+V.
|
|
|
|
The target window is captured when recording starts and re-activated before
|
|
delivery, so a brief focus change during processing doesn't misfire.
