tdrag - terminal drag and drop bridge

tdrag is a simple program that acts as a glue between shell workflows and drag-and-drop functionality of graphical programs.

It has two modes:

1. When ran with a file argument, it presents a window that allows you to drag that file into a graphical program.
2. When ran with no argument, it waits for a file to be dropped into its window, then prints that file's path to stdout.

Examples

Copy the contents of a file to clipboard

cat "$(tdrag)" | wl-copy (wl-copy can be replaced with xclip on non-wayland systems).

Upload current directory

tdrag "$(pwd)"
