how exactly does one paste images into a text file?
I solved a similar problem using xclip, which is a CLI utility that can read/write the X clipboard.
Images have headers embedded in their data stream that identify the filetype, so saving an image is as easy as selecting an image, copying to the clipboard, and saving the clipboard to a file. If you want your hotkey to do any wizardry such as recognizing filetypes to apply automatic filename extensions, or parsing multiple selected images, it should call a script that scans the clipboard for known filetypes and apply the rules according to what it finds before it writes the file.
