ephemtxt: an ephemeral text box

ephemtxt.py launches a window containing a monospace text box and nothing else. You can't open or save your text. Great for temporarily storing text, bad for just about anything else.

installing and running

$ pip install git+https://github.com/fellerts/ephemtxt.git
$ ephemtext

No python 3.12 support, sorry.

Suggestion for i3/sway users: The following binds $mod+s to open ephemtxt in floating mode under your cursor.

bindsym $mod+s exec ephemtxt
for_window [class="ephemtxt"] floating enable, border pixel 0, move position mouse
