multi-clipboard 1.0.0

Switch clipboard contents using a simple GUI

# Multi Clipboard Switch clipboard contents using a simple GUI<br /> Images, text, files and other formats are supported with unlimited amounts of saved clipboards able to be created.<br /> The idea of this is to easily switch clipboards with a simple click in a GUI. It comes with a built in listener for Ctrl + Windows + C


### GUI With Settings Open

## What Is This? This is my solution to constantly overwriting my clipboard. It is a GUI that acts like a hotbar, click on a virtual clipboard to place it on your actual clipboard. Some command line support has also been added in the form of setting and clearing clipboards.

#### Installing Via PyPi Currently this package is not on PyPi

### GUI Usage * Click on clipboard to switch to it (will close automatically on selection by default) * Right click menu on each clipboard to individually delete/set * Click on the trash to delete all clipboards * Click on the plus button to create a new clipboard * Settings for the GUI can be toggled easily in settings window

### Command Line Usage * multi-clipboard - Opens GUI * multi-clipboard -s [clipboard] - Will load data from that clipboard if it exists * multi-clipboard -c * - Delete all clipboards * multi-clipboard -c 1 - Delete clipboard 1 * multi-clipboard –start-listener - Starts the listener if it isn’t running * multi-clipboard –stop-listener - Stops the listener if it’s running * multi-clipboard –current - Check what clipboard you are currently on

## The Listener This package has a built in listener which listens for Ctrl + Windows + C (Left control). This can be enabled in the GUI’s settings under “Toggle Listener” or by arguments as described above. This also comes with a feature to make the listener start on startup. To enable this, go into the GUI’s settings and click “Listener Autostart” to toggle it on/off.

## So What Happens If…

• I delete all clipboards? -> Clipboard 0 will be created with the current contents

• I delete the clipboard I am currently on? -> Nothing, your clipboard will be saved back to that clipboard later.

• I am shown an error saying my clipboard isn’t supported? -> Open up an issue with details on what your clipboard contents are, we can see if it can be supported

## Running From Your Project If you want to run the GUI from python, first install the package, you can import it and use it: `python from multi_clipboard import db, ui db_manager = db.DatabaseManager() ui.show_clipboard_selector(db_manager) `

## Thanks to * [Michael Robertson](https://github.com/MBRobertson) for adding file support in previous versions.
