An easy to use clipboard manager made using Tkinter.

Note: Currently, clix works only on Linux systems.

• To install clix, simply,

  $ pip install clix
  

• If you get ImportError for Xlib module, install it using this command:

  $ sudo apt-get install python-xlib
  

• To run clix, open terminal and run this command:

  $ clix
  

  if error shown try:

  $ sudo clix
  

  On Mac OSX, one of the following must be true:

    -The process must run as root.
    -Your application must be whitelisted under Enable access for assistive devices. Note that this might require that you package your application, since otherwise, the entire Python installation must be whitelisted.
  

  Note: Leave this terminal open as long as you want to use clix.

  Another alternative is to use this command:

  $ nohup clix &
  

  Now, you can close the terminal but clix will keep running.

  To close clix, open a terminal and simply run:

  $ pkill clix
  

• Press Ctrl + space keys to open clix GUI. And Ctrl + space again to close it. Initially, all clip frames are empty.

• Now, as you copy any text, (using Ctrl + c keys), the text is saved to the topmost frame of clix clipboard.

• Whenever you want to paste any clip, just open clix GUI (using Ctrl + space keys) and click on clip it button to copy clip text to the main clipboard.

  Now, simply pressing Ctrl + v keys will paste the desired clip text!

• CLI usage to configure keys

  $ clix [-h] [-s SET_KEYBINDING] [-a] [-c]
  

  You can always use $ clix -h command to open this help message:

  optional arguments:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    -s SET_KEYBINDING, --set-keybinding SET_KEYBINDING
                          Set alternate key binding. Default is LCTRL+SPACE
                          Format :- <KEY1>+<KEY2>. Ex:- RCTRL+RALT. To see
                          availble key bindings use 'clix -a' option
    -a, --available-keybindings
                          Show available key bindings
    -c, --show-current-keybinding
  

• Add support for user configurable keys.

• Add support for Windows and MacOS.

• Create a file system to log the clipboard.

• Improve UI.

• Add more functionalities.

• Clone the repository

  $ git clone http://github.com/nikhilkumarsingh/clix
  

• Install dependencies

  $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Remove the . prefix from .pyxhook and .gui for the following imports in clix.py, so it changes from:

  from .pyxhook import HookManager
  from .gui import clipboard

  to:

  from pyxhook import HookManager
  from gui import clipboard

• To test local version of clix:

  $ pip install -U .
  

  OR :

  $ pip install -e <project dir.> .
  

Finally, do report bugs and help us make clix more and more productive!
