Is your feature request related to a problem? No

A clear and concise description of what the problem is.
What about a shortcut that prints the hover application screen? Android emulator has this feature and I think it's very useful.

Describe the feature you'd like

Something like Alt + PrtScr

Would you like it to only be available in debug or always?

[ericdallo]

@jld3103 I didn't know that there's a hover debug mode, or you are referring to flutter's debug mode?

[provokateurin]

Yes

[ericdallo]

I don't see any problem the print shortcut works for non debug profile too, but if you want to restrict only for debug, I'm okay with that :)

It's already available in the flutter toolchain!

flutter screenshot --observatory-uri=http://127.0.0.1:50300/XXXXX --type=rasterizer

$ flutter screenshot --helpTake a screenshot from a connected device.

                                To find the observatory URI, use
                                "flutter run" and look for "An

Thank you very much @pchampio, It works!
If there was any way of getting this XXXXX easily, I could make some shortcut for hover.el to take the screenshot 🤔 😔

[pchampio]

Haha, I'm working on this at the moment^^

[ericdallo]

Thanks! 🤞

[pchampio]

I have removed the auth-code from the observatory URL. engine/switches.h This wasn't an option before. No more XXXXX at the end of the url.

I've also enable enable-service-port-fallback engine/switches.h, this way, multiple hover run can be launched without having to use the hover run --observatory-port flag.

In the context of hover.el, It's up to you to provide an --observatory-port that isn't already used, relying only on the default port will cause issues when multiple user are running hover run.

[pchampio]

fixed in the latest version of hover.
go get -u github.com/go-flutter-desktop/hover

[ericdallo]

Uow, nice!
I'll sure implement this :D
Thanks for your help @pchampio

@ericdallo could you read #129 (comment)
I'll like your opinion, and how are you performing hot reload? (manually or on save, if on save, are you sending 'r' key-presses into the hover proc)

[ericdallo]

@pchampio, hover.el has the option to manually input commands like r or R, but also allows keybindings to do that, like in this example. It has the feature that on file save, it triggers auto-reload(sending the r command to hover background process).
