How to use

Create and activate a Python3 virtual environment
Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
~~Run python ctrlc.py~~
Compile with python -m nuitka --onefile --linux-onefile-icon icon.png ctrlc.py
Move binary to your bin folder, e.g. $HOME/bin
Run ctrlc.bin
- To speed things up, bind this to a keyboard shortcut in your window manager (see screenshot below for XFCE)!
Paste with ctrl+v!

Important!

Needs a clipboard manager. e.g. xsel or xclip on GNU/Linux
nuitka needs chrpath to be installed on your system, e.g. sudo pacman -S chrpath

TODO

Create flow to trigger via keyboard shortcut.
Package to a distributable binary.
