 ====== Show zenity notifcation on string selection ======
+===== Requisite packages =====
+Install xclip and zenity if you don't have it:

 Example of showing hostname when IP is selected in primary clipboard. Put the following in script and call it via some keyboard shortcut.
 <file bash what_hostname.sh>
-zenity --notification --text=$(grep -B1 $(xclip -o) $HOME.ssh/ssh_config.d/yourhostconfig.conf | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f 2,3,4,5)
+zenity --notification --text=$(grep -B1 $(xclip -o) $HOME/.ssh/ssh_config.d/yourhostconfig.conf | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f 2,3,4,5)
 </file>
-Install xclip and zenity if you don't have it:
-  sudo apt install xclip zenity
+<WRAP center round box 60%>
+Your host entry needs to be formated so that the "Hostname" directive is the second one in the file e.g.
+<code>
+Host myhost alias2 alias3
+    Hostname    <serverip>
+    User        root
+    ...rest of ssh options...
+</code>
+or you will need to tweak the grep command.
