input-paste

緣起

在linux平台上，有一些桌面應用程式會遇到不能打中文的情況，像是Sublime Text、Spotify

在不去對應用程式做hack的情況下(像是這個)

就只能用最簡單的copy-paste方法了

這個非常簡單的小工具就是跳出小方塊讓你輸入並自動貼上

相依性

• GTK+ 3
• PyGObject (aka PyGI)
• Xlib Python binding
• Python 2.7+

安裝

以下示範是在debian/ubuntu上(其他版本將相依性安裝即可)

if run in python2:

$ sudo apt-get install python-gi python-xlib
$ pip install input-paste

if run in python3:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-gi python3-xlib
$ pip install input-paste

接下來，設定系統熱鍵能夠執行input-paste即可

用法

點擊應用程式輸入框並維持游標位置,叫出input-paste輸入文字後

按Enter/Ctrl+Enter就會將文字貼上游標位置,或按Esc/Alt+F4關閉input-paste

Motivation

Sometimes, we can't type Chinese in application on Linux(or UNIX-like) system.

Without hacking it in low-level(like this), we should utilize clipboard to solve this problem.

This tool will bring convenience to you.

Dependency

• GTK+ 3
• PyGObject (aka PyGI)
• Xlib Python binding
• Python 2.7+

Installation

Following is on debian/ubuntu system.

if run in python2:

$ sudo apt-get install python-gi python-xlib
$ pip install input-paste

if run in python3:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-gi python3-xlib
$ pip install input-paste

Next, set up hotkey in your system to execute input-paste.

Usage

Click input box in your application, and retain the cursor position.

Invoke input-paste with hotkey, and type some words in it.

Press Enter/Ctrl+Enter to copy text to your cursor position,

or press Esc/Alt+F4 to close input-paste.
