ClipboardOne

Customize your clipboard thanks to an advanced plug-in system

Build Instructions

You will need the following libraries :

• Qt 5.1.0 or higher
• Boost

As this project uses Redis, it is also required to have the redis-server executable and a client library installed. The one used here is hiredis (see hiredis win32 for Windows)

Developing Plug-ins

Plugins are written in QML, the markup language of Qt which is based on JavaScript.

They can be imported in the application with an url. This url can either be a local path to a file or a web url.

Hello World

Here is an example of a minimal plug-in :

import QtQuick 2.0
import GlobiPlugin 1.0

Plugin {
    name    : 'Hello world'
    version : '1.42.1337'
    author  : 'A handsome nerd'
    icon    : Qt.resolvedUrl('Icon.png')
}

After adding it to the application, it will be visible in the plug-in table like so :

Our plug-in is not really useful at this stage. Let us make it react to clipboard events.
The plugin component has a clipboard property which can be customized :

Plugin {
    ...
    clipboard : Clipboard {
        // Shortcut is not needed to react to clipboard events
        autoTrigger : true 

        onActivated : {
            if(data.hasText())
                SystemTray.alert(data.text(), 'text copied')
        }
    }
}

With this snippet, the plugin will make the system tray icon display a popup with the clipboard's current text (if any) every time its content changes.
