shrtcut

what even is this?

a simple clipboard shortcut manager. set shortcuts and pull them into your global clipboard.

how to even use it?

to set shortcuts, edit your .shrtcut.toml file and simply add them under the [shortcuts] section. as an example, to create a shortcut to Google, you could update your [shortcuts] block to look like: ```console foo@bar: ~$ cat $(shrtcut --configs) [settings] width=300 height=40

[shortcuts] google="google.com" ```

to pull up a gui that lets you select a shortcut from a dropdown list, simply run: ```console foo@bar: ~$ shortcut # No arguments will pull up GUI

foo@bar: ~$ shortcut --select # The --select/-s argument will also pull up GUI ```

the point of this program was to make it easy to select from a list of saved urls. the plan is to include a command to start a listener loop and check for a user-specified key combination to bring up the selection gui. for now, you should use a hotkey program (via shortcuts on windows, spark/fastscripts/etc on mac, bind on linux) and set it to run shrtcut --select

there are some other goodies in here that let you copy shortcuts from the terminal, add new shortcuts from the terminal, and others. to see the full list, you can run the help command like so: ```console foo@bar: ~$ shrtcut --help A simple clipboard shortcut manager.

Usage: shrtcut [options] [shortcut] [options]: --help, -h, --version, -v, --grab, -g, --select, -s, --add, -a, --configs, -c [shortcut]: shortcut name

Examples: shrtcut --help shrtcut --version shrtcut --select shrtcut --configs shrtcut --grab google shrtcut --add current ```

planned work:

• write more comprehensive unit tests.
• create listener command that will listen for user-specified keypresses and open the shortcut ui when pressed so users don't need to manually map the commands in their operating system (see develop branch for this development).
• considering switching from setting shortcuts in the .shrtcut.toml file to being stored in an embedded db, but this would make it harder to migrate my urls to be available in shrtcut. possibly store shortcuts in an embedded db and create a command to load shortcuts in from a csv/toml file.
