sharedclip

an application to share the clipboard from one computer with another computer in time

Example Usage

After installed some dependences,for example, on CentOS, you should type this commands to install dependences:

yum install xsel
pip install -r requirements.txt

then you can do the follow steps:

1. start server_daemon and assign a port on a computer A(IP 10.106.128.163):

   python server_daemon.py 9999

   if there are some errors, you can set clipboard type at the end of command like this:

   python server_daemon.py 9999 xsel

2. start client_daemon and assign a remote host, port on computer B:

   python client_daemon.py 10.106.128.163 9999

   if there are some errors, you can set clipboard type at the end of command like this:

   python client_daemon.py 10.106.128.163 9999 xsel

3. when B's clipboard changes, A's changes the same in time. For example, if we copy something like "Hello world" with Ctrl+C on B, then we can use Ctrl+V to get text from clipboard on A.

Currently only handles plaintext.

On Windows, no additional modules are needed.

On Mac, this application makes use of the pbcopy and pbpaste commands, which should come with the os.

On Linux, this application makes use of the xclip or xselcommands, which should come with the os. Otherwise run sudo yum install xclip or sudo yum install xsel

Otherwise on Linux, you will need the gtk or PyQt4 modules installed.
