#POPCLIP CONVERT ANDROID#
I'm also using the Automate app on Android to very similar ends: it can have your workflows invoked via the text selection menu or through sharing (no addons with more payment and embedded ads code necessary, like with Tasker). While I'm on this topic, let me add that Lua is way faster than Python or even JS, so it enhances the responsiveness if used for workflow scripts or ‘script filters’. I'm using this to invoke search engines or to add notes in Org-mode, without bothering with the clipboard.
#POPCLIP CONVERT PLUS#
Now you can select text, mash the hotkey and run any of the other workflows that have a ‘keyword’ assigned, plus have ‘script filters’ populate the result/tip list before anything is run. Create a workflow, put in a single hotkey trigger block and choose for it to pop up Alfred's window with the selection and the cursor in the beginning.
At least with Alfred 2, dunno about new versions. You can do similar stuff with Alfred, which happens to already be quite useful for frequent tasks. It's a great idea though, I'm certainly going to bear it in mind and see what I do that could benefit from it, thanks! My basic point is that Linux systems are too 'fragmented' and this is too easy for you to a better job once for everybody than they can each do once for themselves. Some may also prefer a different/better integration with their clipboard manager. All automatically activated when your highlight text. It also offers about 100 other user selected functionalities such as cut, copy, paste, check spelling, etc. It can change highlighted text from all caps to lower case and vice-versa.
#POPCLIP CONVERT MAC#
If the user's writing the script anyway, they can write that, and the details vary according to the window manager (or other tool used to bind keys) and the dmenu-like used to display them. Hi Gary, I've been using the application, PopClip (available in Mac App Store), for several years now.
#POPCLIP CONVERT HOW TO#
To be honest though, since the target user is already supplying the script to generate it, I think you've given the value you can in the idea, and they're best placed to know how to integrate it into their existing tools most effectively.īindsym exec xsel | thescript.sh | dmenu That wouldn't be a tooltip, (unless there are dmenu-like programs that can be configured to appear at the pointer, I'm not sure) but is probably how most Linux users would expect/want it to appear. rofi) to show the options generated by the script running on the selection. I would then use dmenu (or equivalent, e.g. clipboard (I hesitate because that's not the 'CLIPBOARD' one and I'm not sure of the genetic term). The selected text would already be on the 'PRIMARY' uh. was able to recreate the issue but has yet to do anything about it.> I wanted to build Tip for Ubuntu as well but I couldnt find a good mechanism. The only way to stop it is to quit the app, then it can be reopened.Īnd I often forget I’ve killed the app until I try highlighting something several times and nothing happens. The app also has a bug that the developer has known about for nearly four months but failed to fix.Īfter copying and pasting a huge block of text, within seconds CPU usage climbs to 99+% and the fans start racing. I’ve suggested a preference for making the menu appear above or below the highlighted text, but that wasn’t implemented so I’m forced to pause frequently. Maybe that’s not really making a difference at all, but at least it seems like I’m making it work by highlighting it faster.Īnd quite often when it does activate, its menu covers up something I need to click and I have to stop and wait a few seconds for the menu to disappear before I can continue. It doesn’t seem to like when things are highlighted slowly so it do it fast and then it works (sometimes). It often takes several tries at highlighting something before PopClip activates.
So it should be priced at half-off until it works 100%. Unfortunately that’s only about half the time (as another reviewer has also stated). When it works correctly it’s a very helpful app.
