✨ Key Features

• 🖥️ Full Multi-Monitor Support: Automatically detects every connected monitor and captures high-resolution screenshots without cursor latency.
• ⚡ Global Hotkey (Ctrl + Alt + G): Trigger instant screen capture and AI injection from any application, game, or trading chart in the background.
• 🎨 Dark Modern GUI (capture_gui.py): Live thumbnails of every connected display, monitor toggles (select which screens to capture), and custom prompt editors.
• 🤖 Automated ChatGPT Desktop Injection: Brings the official Windows ChatGPT desktop application to the foreground, attaches all screenshots in sequence, pastes your prompt, and prepares it for instant review or automatic submission.
• 🌐 Direct OpenAI API Mode (screen_to_chatgpt.py): Headless CLI mode that encodes screenshots into high-detail base64 images and streams GPT-4o responses directly to your terminal.
• 🎯 Tailored Trading & Dev Presets: Pre-configured prompts for reading order flow (ATAS / TradingView charts), key support/resistance levels, delta divergences, and code debugging.
• 📦 Zero-Install Standalone EXE: Comes pre-packaged with PyInstaller (dist/ScreenToChatGPT.exe) — run it on any Windows computer with zero setup!

⌨️ Global Hotkeys & Prompt Presets

Default Hotkey:

• Ctrl + Alt + G: Captures enabled monitors, focuses the ChatGPT desktop application, attaches images, and pastes the selected prompt preset.

Built-in Presets:

1. Order Flow Read: Deep inspection of absorption, exhaustion, delta divergences, and liquidity sweeps.
2. Key Levels: Locates support/resistance, high-volume nodes, and order blocks.
3. General Screen Inspection: Comprehensive overview identifying actionable items or bugs on screen.
4. Code & Debug Review: Identifies exceptions, stack traces, and formatting issues in active IDE windows.

All presets are fully editable in the GUI and persist automatically to screens_to_chatgpt_config.json.

📦 Building the Standalone .EXE

To rebuild the standalone executable using PyInstaller:

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller ScreenToChatGPT.spec

The compiled binary will be placed in dist/ScreenToChatGPT.exe with bundled icons and manifest permissions.
