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
  

• If you get ImportError for Xlib module, install it using this command:

   $ sudo apt-get install python-xlib
  

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!
