Clippets

A terminal based tool to quickly combine (rich) text snippets into the clipboard.

Clippets s a Textual (https://textual.textualize.io/) framework based application.

Status

This is a beta software. It is definitely useful and usable in its current form:

• It performs its basic function and provides a user interface that is good enough to support productive use.
• It has a pretty comprehensive test suite.
• Crashes should be rare (backup files are maintained to minimise the impact).

However:

• There are areas of mouse and keyboard support that beg improvement.
• Some desirable features are obviously missing, such as:
  • There is no proper documentation beyond the built-in help.
  • It does not yet work on MacOS. (Pull requests gratefully received.)

Get started

The full documentation includes instructions on installing and running Clippets for the first time. See@

• Windows installation.
• Linux installation.
• Starting Clippets.

Credits

Clippets would have been much harder to write without Textual as the application framework.

I am also heavily indebted to Ted Conbeer for his textual-textarea widget, which provided much of the code for Clippets' built in editor.
