Pickings

A Clojure app which on pressing a global hotkey appends text from clipboard into the specified file. I mainly use it to save quotes while reading ebooks.

Download

See Releases.

Usage

java -jar <app jar>

App stores its config at ~/.pickings-config.edn.

Development

To (re)run from REPL:

lein repl
user=> (reset)

To dispatch signals from REPL:

user=> ((-> @system :app :dispatch-signal) :on-reveal-file)

To build an executable:

lein uberjar

To package for Mac OS (experimental, requires pyinvoke):

inv mac

Architecture

Unidirectional data flow using Carry.
Seesaw for UI.
[Reloaded workflow] (http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2013/06/04/clojure-workflow-reloaded) using Integrant for easier running from REPL.
