Small PyQt tool in tray to put misc. unicode exotic symbols to clipboard
It shows an icon in tray with tree-like context menu of characters.
Clicking a character appends it to clipboard (when clipboard was modified
by other programs, this characeter replaces its content). By hovering
characters and pressing space you can avoid menu hiding, so you
can get a lot of characters in rapid way.
Left-clicking on tray icon shows curent clipboard content.
You are free to modify menu in menu/charmap.yaml file.
On UNiX-like system just run run.sh &, on Windows run.bat.
pip3 install -r requirements.txt or pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
or use system package manager depending on your environment.
Add run.sh or run.bat script to run at your session startup. In the both Linux and
Windows it is usually easy enough.
For Mac OS users, it can be actually painful to run shell script at user login, because the environment designed to always keep you in a sort of straitjacket.
Having Python 3 installed with Homebrew, I succeeded by creation of anautomation object as described here, with following shell script to do it.
# Setup environment, I recommend you to have this file if you still do not
. $HOME/.bash_profile
# Now you can run your proper python3, in my case, /usr/local/bin/python3
# Run the script
$HOME/{....repo path....}/run.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &
# Output redirects and background are needed to tell
# the OS that it is safe to finish the script itself
