Create a shortkey in sxhkd for a screencast with ffmpeg and for a live-webcam with mpv

[djfao]

I use EndeavourOS with BSPWM and would like to create two shortkeys.

The first key should be able to start and stop a screencast like:

 ffmpeg -y -f x11grab -s 1680x1050 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i default video.mp4

I would prefer ctrl + prt sc as a combination.

The second key should spawn and close my webcam live in a terminal like:

  mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0

I would prefer ctrl + insert as a combination.

Any suggestion how to implement in sxhkd?

ctrl+Print
     ffmpeg -y -f x11grab -s 1680x1050 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i default video.mp4

ctrl+Insert
      mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0

Do not have bspwm installed, but you can use xev to find the name of the keys.

Nice, ist works well. Small correction to the commands. There is a space before and after the +

ctrl + Print
     ffmpeg -y -f x11grab -s 1680x1050 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i default video.mp4

ctrl + Insert
      mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0

When I press a second time ctrl + Print, the recording stops. Nice
