DESCRIPTION

Anamnesis is a clipboard manager. It stores all clipboard history and offers
an easy interface to do a full-text search on the items of its history.


INSTALLING

The recommended installation have three steps:
  1. copy the command-line to the system path
  2. install the anamnesis daemon in the session start-up
  3. create a keyboard shortcut to the graphic interface

There is no automatic tool to do this yet.

1. To install anamnesis command line, create a symbolic link named 'anamnesis' in the
   system path, pointing to anamnesis.py, for example:
      > sudo ln -s /path/to/anamnesis.py /usr/bin/anamnesis

2. Configure the following command to be executed on session start-up (System -> Preferences -> Session Apps):
      > anamnesis --start

3. Configure a shortcut to the graphic interface (System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts):
      > anamnesis --browse
