# Based on "snippy" by "sessy"

|
# This version may be more convenient for people who only need
|
|
|
|
|
# one-line snippets, because all your snippets can go in one file.
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# You will also need "dmenu", "xsel" and "xdotool". Get them from your linux
|
|
|
|
|
# distro in the usual way.
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# To use:
|
|
|
|
|
# 1. Create a file in your home directory called ".snippyrc".
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# 2. The format of the file is shown below:
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# [tag] text_to_paste
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# Where "[tag]" starts in column 1. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# [hw] Hello, world!
|
|
|
|
|
# [wombatSmilie] [img]http://nualeargais.ie/pictiuir/emoticons/wombatSmilie.gif[/img]
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# 3. Bind a convenient key combination to this script.
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# TIP: If you're using XMonad, add something like this to xmonad.hs
|
|
|
|
|
# ((mod4Mask, xK_s), spawn "/path/to/snippy")
|
|
|
|
