An easy to use clipboard manager made using tkinter.

Note: Currently, clix works only on Linux systems.

Installation

  • To install clix, simply,

     $ pip install clix

Usage

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

     $ clix

    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. Initially, all clip frames are empty.

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

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

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

TODO

  • Add support for Windows and MacOS.

  • Create a file system to log the clipboard.

  • Improve UI.

  • Add more functionalities.

Want to contribute?

  • 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

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