A scriptable scratchpad for developers

Port of @IvanMathy's Boop to GTK

What is Boop-GTK?

Boop is a simple editor that allows you to execute scripts on the buffer. The idea is that you don’t have to paste potentially secret information into shady websites to do some simple transforms, like format json and decoding query strings.

Boop-GTK is a port of Boop to GTK, so users on Linux and Windows can Boop it!

Features

• 50+ builtin scripts including "Base64 Encode", "Format JSON", "Hex to RGB" and more
• 100% script compatibility with Boop
• Completely crossplatform!

MacOS

shell brew install gtk+3 gtksourceview3 cargo build

Windows

I don't really understand why sourceview isn't picked up automatically by system-deps but if you are curious.

powershell git clone https://github.com/wingtk/gvsbuild.git C:\gtk-build\github\gvsbuild cd C:\gtk-build\github\gvsbuild; python .\build.py build -p=x64 --vs-ver=16 --msys-dir=C:\msys64 -k --enable-gi --py-wheel --py-egg gtk3 gdk-pixbuf gtksourceview3 ${Env:GTKSOURCEVIEW_3.0_NO_PKG_CONFIG}=1; ${Env:SYSTEM_DEPS_GTKSOURCEVIEW_3.0_LIB}="gtksourceview-3.0"; cargo build

Windows Installer

```powershell

follow build steps above, then:

cargo install cargo-wix ${Env:GTKSOURCEVIEW3.0NOPKGCONFIG}=1; ${Env:SYSTEMDEPSGTKSOURCEVIEW3.0LIB}="gtksourceview-3.0"; cargo wix -v ```
