DESCRIPTION Anamnesis is a clipboard manager. It stores all clipboard history and offers an easy interface to do a full-text search on the items of its history. INSTALLING The recommended installation have three steps: 1. copy the command-line to the system path 2. install the anamnesis daemon in the session start-up 3. create a keyboard shortcut to the graphic interface There is no automatic tool to do this yet. 1. To install anamnesis command line, create a symbolic link named 'anamnesis' in the system path, pointing to anamnesis.py, for example: > sudo ln -s /path/to/anamnesis.py /usr/bin/anamnesis 2. Configure the following command to be executed on session start-up (System -> Preferences -> Session Apps): > anamnesis --start 3. Configure a shortcut to the graphic interface (System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts): > anamnesis --browse CONFIGURATION Anamnesis will search for configuration files in the $XDG_DATA_DIRS and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME directories, which defaults to: /usr/share/anamnesis/anamnesis.cfg ~/.config/anamnesis/anamnesis.cfg COMMAND LINE Usage: anamnesis [options] Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit --start starts anamnesis daemon --stop stops anamnesis daemon --restart restarts anamnesis daemon -b, --browser opens anamnesis browser with clipboard history --cleanup optimize database and limit the number of elements -l N, --list=N prints the clipboard history last N values --filter=KEYWORDS use keywords to filter the clips to be listed -a CLIP, --add=CLIP adds a value to the clipboard --remove=ID removes the clipboard element with the given id --brief print only a brief version of long clipboard elements Examples: Starts the graphic user interface: anamnesis --browser Starts the anamnesis daemon: anamnesis --start Stops the anamnesis daemon: anamnesis --stop List the last 20 clipboard items: anamnesis --list=20 List the last 5 items in the clipboard the has the keywords 'my' and 'search': anamnesis --list=5 --filter="my search" Adds a clipboard item (same as copying to the clipboard if the daemon is running): anamnesis --add="hello, clipboard!"
