Wraps linkctl so the Insta360 Link 2's AI tracking and gimbal presets are
reachable from a keypress and from OBS, instead of a terminal.
bin/linkctl-macro resolves the linkctl binary itself, because a desktop
shortcut is launched with a far sparser PATH than an interactive shell and
would otherwise just fail silently. It defaults to --force on the grounds
that a deliberate keypress means "act now" even when nothing holds the
camera open, which is precisely the state the Link parks itself in. Results
go to a desktop notification, since tracking state and gimbal position are
invisible otherwise, and linkctl's documented exit codes are mapped to
actionable text.
kde/install-shortcuts.sh registers Plasma global shortcuts via .desktop
entries plus kglobalshortcutsrc. These work under Wayland, where OBS's own
hotkeys only fire while OBS has focus. It writes with the shortcut daemon
stopped, because the daemon rewrites that file on exit and would discard the
entries. Supports --dry-run, --list and --uninstall.
obs/obs-linkctl.lua adds OBS hotkeys, test buttons, and scene-to-action
mapping, so switching scenes can set the camera state unattended. Its
startup action defaults to loading the home preset, which undoes the
gimbal's idle parking when OBS launches. Commands are backgrounded so the
OBS UI thread never waits on the camera, and identical commands within
250ms are collapsed to absorb the repeated events studio mode emits.
Tested: 22 offline Lua checks over shell quoting, action tokenizing, scene
map parsing and command construction; the wrapper exercised against a stub
linkctl for every documented exit code; the KDE installer dry-run, install,
list and uninstall paths run against stubbed Plasma tools in a throwaway
HOME. shellcheck clean. Not yet run against a live camera or a real Plasma
session.
