text-clipboard

Create custom hotkeys to paste any number of strings / text snippets on your system.

This is an app written in Python 3 using tkinter for GUI and the pynput module see docs to detect and execute keypresses.

  • To create hotkeys, I have only implemented Ctrl ⌃/Shift ⇧/Alt ⌥ for modifiers and numeric (0-9) keys so far.
  • The app doesn't access the system clipboard or modify it, or register any hotkeys with the system - starting the app activates a pynput.keyboard.Listener thread to monitor keyboard input, and when a hotkey combination (as saved from the app) is detected, the main thread triggers keystrokes to type all the corresponding text.
  • There are many known issues with tkinter on Mac OS - I have only tested this app on Windows 10.
