0cff8e7c41 Drop unnecessary trap
If we are using a file, the trap is not defined in the first place,
so we don't need to undefined it.

86fbb6daba Wayland support
The clipboard= configuration file determines what clipboard manager should be
used, if xclip or wl-copy/wl-paste.  The variable defaults to the value of
XDG_SESSION_TYPE which is considered a reliable method to determine what
graphical session is currently being used[1]

14c467a764 Replace ~/.config/imgbb_uploader/api_key with generic config file
The configuration is stored under ~/.config/imgbb_uploader.conf.
The file is simply sourced, so the configuration file can be
a shell script. It just needs to assign the required variables.

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -s "$(pwd)/imgbb" ~/.local/bin/imgbb
```
Now you can just run `imgbb` from your terminal.
## Configuration
This script requires a **free API key** from ImgBB:
1. Go to [https://api.imgbb.com/](https://api.imgbb.com/) and register or log in to get your key.
2. Store the key in `.config/imgbb/uploader/api_key`.
* **File** Create the directory and file, then paste *only* your API key inside:
2. Set the API key using *one* of these methods (script checks in this order):
* Store the key in `.config/imgbb/uploader/api_key`.
* **File** Create the config file `~/.config/imgbb_uploader.conf` and add a line like:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/imgbb_uploader
nano ~/.config/imgbb_uploader/api_key
# Paste your key, save the file.
echo "api_key="YOUR_KEY_HERE" > ~/.config/imgbb_uploader.conf
# Set permissions so only you can read it:
chmod 600 ~/.config/imgbb_uploader/api_key
chmod 600 ~/.config/imgbb_uploader.conf
```
* **Environment Variable:** Set the `IMGBB_API_KEY` variable in your environment
```bash
export IMGBB_API_KEY="YOUR KEY HERE"
```
Now you can just run `imgbb` from your terminal.

# Notes
Currently relies on xclip and therefore only works reliably under X11 sessions. Wayland support would require adding logic to use wl-clipboard.
- Supports both X11 (using xclip) and Wayland (using wl-clipboard) sessions. It detects the session type using $XDG_SESSION_TYPE.
