MultiClipboard is a simple Python command-line utility that allows users to save multiple pieces of text to their clipboard under unique keys. This tool is particularly useful for storing frequently used text snippets for quick access.

• Save text to clipboard under a custom key
• Copy text from clipboard using a saved key
• List all saved keys and corresponding text snippets
• Persistent storage of saved data using JSON format

• Python 3.x
• clipboard library (to interact with the system clipboard)
• json library (for data serialization)
• time library (for adding delays)
• sys library (for accessing command-line arguments)

1. Clone or download the repository.
2. Make sure you have Python 3.x installed on your system.
3. Install the required libraries using pip:

   pip install clipboard
   

4. Run the main.py file using Python:

   python main.py [command]
   

MultiClipboard supports the following commands:

• save: Save text to clipboard under a custom key.
• copy or load: Copy text from clipboard using a saved key.
• list: List all saved keys and corresponding text snippets.

When executing the script, provide one of the above commands as an argument.

1. Save Text:

   python main.py save
   

   Enter a key and the text will be saved to your clipboard under that key.

2. Copy Text:

   python main.py copy
   

   Enter the key of the text you want to copy, and it will be copied to your clipboard.

3. List Saved Items:

   python main.py list
   

   Displays a list of all saved keys and corresponding text snippets.

Saved data is stored in a JSON file named clipboard.json. This file will be created in the same directory as the script.
