note: this project integrates with the system clipboard and the notifications system of your device, and as a result, requires CGO.
This tool serves as a framework for operating on selected text. It provides functionality to run in the background of your system and listen in on your clipboard operations. When a piece of text is copied that matches a specified regex, a function can be called against that piece of text.
For example, if you are copying a unix millisecond timestamp, it can automatically send you a desktop notification with the timestamp represented in a more human-readable fashion. See the examples folder for a working example of this.
A sample systemd unit file to be placed into /etc/systemd/user/clipassist.service
is provided.
Be sure to change the path to the binary to match your home folder.
