Background Vision Agent (Windows)

• One-command setup/run: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\run.ps1
• Requires Python 3.9+ and an OPENAI_API_KEY in your user environment.
• Runs hidden (uses pythonw.exe) and listens for global hotkeys.

Hotkeys

• Alt+Shift+1 — Capture active window (added to input buffer)
• Alt+Shift+2 — Send payload (buffered images + prompt) to OpenAI; save response
• Alt+Shift+3 — Action 3 (depends on mode)
  • Mode 1: Type response char-by-char into current input field
  • Mode 2: Clipboard mode: primes clipboard with first char; every Ctrl+V advances to next char
• Alt+Shift+4 — Reset program state (clears buffers and captured files)
• Alt+Shift+5 — Quit permanently (press 3x within 2 seconds); also deletes app data directory
• Alt+Shift+6 — Switch Action 3 mode (toggle between Mode 1 and Mode 2)

Customize

• Edit defaults in bg_agent/config.py (hotkeys, model, prompt, typing speed). The endpoint is hardcoded via the official OpenAI Python SDK.
• App data directory (captures, response, logs): %LOCALAPPDATA%\BgVisionAgent.

Notes

• Windows is supported now; code is structured to later add macOS/Linux window capture backends.
• No admin privileges are required. If a hotkey conflicts with another app, change it in bg_agent/config.py.
• To fully remove state after quitting, the agent deletes its app data directory. Source files and the virtual env remain unless manually removed.
