DESCRIPTION:

Ruby Gtk3App Clipboard Manager.

SYNOPSIS:

gtk3app clipboard_manager [options]

FEATURES

history
wget youtube-dl mplayer command to play youtube video
firefox opens amazon webpage
espeak
zbarcam qrcode

INSTALL:

Note that you do need gtk3app:

$ sudo gem install gtk3app
$ sudo gem install clipboard_manager

CONFIGURATION:

After an initial run, your user configuration will found in:

~/.config/gtk3app/clipboardmanager/config-?.?.yml

Towards the bottom of the file you will find the available tasks:

:tasks:
  :mplayer:
  - "(https?://www\\.youtube\\.com/watch\\?v=[\\w\\-]+)"
  - :bashit
  - wget --quiet -O - $(youtube-dl -f 5/36/17/18 -g '$1') | mplayer -really-quiet
    -cache 8192 -cache-min 1 -
  :firefox:
  - "^https?://www.amazon.com/"
  - :firefox
  :espeak:
  - ".{80,}"
  - :espeak

It is by this configuration that one can modify and add tasks.

The mplayer task will run when the clipboard text matches a youtube link. It will run the given system command “wget.. youtube_dl… ‘$0’ | mplayer …”, where $1 will be replaced by the match.

The firefox task will run when the clipboard text matches an amazon link. It will open the link with firefox.

The espeak task will run when the clipboard text is at least 80 characters long. It will have espeak read the text.

Currently, clipboard_manager has three tasks methods: bashit, firefox, and espeak.

For firefox and espeak, the pattern is used to recognize the text. The whole copied text is used to pass on to firefox as a url, or espeak as text to be read.

bashit is more complicated. It requires a command string which it will substitute $0, $1, $2… with match data. It then passes the string to system.

See clipboard_manager/clipboard_manager.rb for details. Specifically, methods #espeak, #firefox, and #bashit, which are called from #manage.
