@Pesala said in Saving images by hot keys?:
@purgatori How do you select images for saving without using a mouse? One can use page navigation to locate images that are links, but what about other images?
Already, one can use shortcuts to save linked images: Shift+F10, followed by "v".
The only solution I have seen is hinting image elements (as opposed to saving linked images). In Qutebrowser, one can invoke the hint images download command which will mark all image elements on a page according to an alphabetical/numeric sequence (e.g., 01 for first detected image, 02 for second, 03... etc.). When the user inputs the keys corresponding to the assigned alphabetical/numeric designation for a given image this will result in that image being saved to disc:
Tridactyl (for Firefox) and Shortcat (for macOS applications supporting the Accessibility API) work in a very similar manner, except that the latter cannot parse commands to hinted items and instead relies on simulating various types of clicks on those items instead (e.g., ctrl+enter = right click).
