clipboard_memo

A command-line clipboard manager

Project description

A command line clipboard manager written in Python.

This clipboard manager is intended to be used without opening any additional screen. Once setup the only required step is to hit a key combination to save the current contents of the clipboard for later use.

Dependencies

pyperclip python package is required. This package will be automatically installed.

On some Linux distros ``xclip`` package may be required. Install it with sudo apt-get install xclip on Ubuntu if you cannot save memos.

Installation

Using Pypi, pip install clipboard_memo
Now bind a key-combination to the cmemo_direct command to save memos directly with a single keystroke.

For example, for Ubuntu follow the instructions here and type cmemo_direct in the Command field.
