@fufexan it works IF I don't spam my keybind:
No spaming: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ad69f75a-9d44-4c5d-ace3-ffff9a93f179
Spaming: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9d0e3d44-38ff-41e9-9197-4a531beb1246
Insted of having 10+ instances, I have 2 instances max (if I spam my keybind)
Looks like I can't make grimblast only allow one instance of itself to be running from within itself. I've tried using lockfiles, but that doesn't work either. And pgrep seems too slow to be useful when called from within the script.
However, I have these binds in my hyprland config which work exceptionally well, even when spamming the key:
bind=, Print, exec, pgrep grimblast || grimblast --notify copysave area
bind=CTRL, Print, exec, pgrep grimblast || grimblast --notify --cursor copysave output
bind=ALT, Print, exec, pgrep grimblast || grimblast --notify --cursor copysave screen
