Project description
CLI-board-manager
CLI-board-manager is a clipboard manager for the terminal written in Python with the ✨awesome✨ Textual framework.
Features
Keeping track of clipboard history
CLI-board-manager keeps track of all items you place on the clipboard using the normal copy action. If you accidentally copy sensitive information, press the Delete button for that item to remove it from the interface and the clipboard.
Create copy/paste workflows
Filling out a series of web forms or sending messages with a subject field and a body can be tiresome if you don't have a clipboard manager. With CLI-board-manager workflows you can select clipboard items and add them to the workflow tab. If you start a workflow the first item is put on the clipboard, e.g. the subject field. You can then paste that field and switch back to the app. The moment the app becomes active, it automatically puts the next item on the clipboard, e.g. the body of your message. Switch back to your message and paste the body. If you reach the end of your workflow, CLI-board-manager will automatically loop back to the first item, until you stop the workflow.
If you make a mistake and need to move to another item in the workflow, just select that item and the workflow will continue there.
Usage
Run the cbm
command from the terminal, after installation. Use your mouse to navigate the interface or use a combination of the Tab and arrow keys along with any keyboard shortcuts indicated in the footer. Click on old items to copy them to the clipboard or press enter after selecting with the arrow keys.
Installation
This is a Python app and currently not distributed stand-alone using a nice installer. So you'll need to have Python installed and some basic knowledge about installing Python packages. Pipx is, in most cases, the preferred method of installation.
Using pipx
Just run
pipx install cli-board-manager
Using pip
Preferably in a new virtual environment, run
pip install cli-board-manager
From source, using Poetry
Clone the repository, cd into the repository's main directory and run
