kvix 0.1.3

No project description provided

kvix

kvix provides mouseless quick actions for desktop, like Double Shift in Intellij IDEA or ctrl+shift+P in VSCode. It can be used to quickly perform frequently used actions which are too numerous to configure hot keys for them.

Usage

By default, kvix is configured to activate on Ctrl+; hotkey. kvix also runs embedded web-server on default port 23844 and can be activated by curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:23844/activate

Build on Linux

sudo apt install libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev libgirepository1.0-dev wl-clipboard

`cd kvix && sh run pyproject pyinstaller`

Build on Windows

The procedure is awfull, sorry for that.

• install msys2 and open "MSYS2 MINGW64" command prompt

• install python & pip: pacman --sync --noconfirm mingw-w64-x86_64-python mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pip

• install specific versions of prebuild libraries which cannot be installed with pip

  pacman --noconfirm --upgrade \
  	https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-python-gobject-3.46.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst \
  	https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-python-cairo-1.25.1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst \
  	https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pillow-10.1.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
  

• do cd kvix; USE_VENV=false sh run msys2pyinstaller (this article can be helpfull for understanding)

If errors, the following can be helpful.

• do pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-cairo mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-python-cairo gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pillow

• If got error somethins like this:

  Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  

  then do PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig:

• do export SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib as in tutorial

• this tutorial

  pacman -S --needed --noconfirm base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain git \
  	mingw-w64-x86_64-python3 mingw-w64-x86_64-python3-cairo \
  	mingw-w64-x86_64-gobject-introspection mingw-w64-x86_64-libffi
