tobys / indicator-chars Goto Github PK

On my Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 with python-gtk2 2.24.0-2, I had to delete the gtk.Clipboard constructor attributes in the click event; now it’s working.

I think it might be useful for many users to include a default/sample ".indicator-chars" file like this:

[characters] âîôûÆæßðÐÑÝÞýþΩΓΔΘΨ
[numbers] ¼½¾⅛⅜⅝⅞¹²Ø
[numbering1] ➊➋➌➍➎➏➐➑➒➓
[numbering2] ①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩
[math] ×÷≈≃≠≤≥±√‰ⁿ°∞Ω℮∂∆∏∑
[symbols1] “”`´«»[]{}|#·¬§µ†‡•…—¯
[symbols2] ®™℅№�☑☒¥£€$¢
[symbols3] ⊕⊖⊗⊘⊙□☎☞☹☺✂✓✔✗✘❍❏❑
[arrows] ←↑→↓↔↕↗↘↳↵⇐⇒⇔⇤⇥⇦⇧⇨⇩

Direct injection of character (though XTest? http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xtest/1.1) Instead of having to paste would be a nice feature.

Just an idea. Thanks for this widget!

добавьте, пожалуйста,

I have implemented the following customization on this matter:

1. Created light and dark versions of your png file and renamed them as "dark-theme.png" and "light-theme.png", and symlinked one that suits my current theme as "indicator-chars.png", changing the corresponding file name in "indicator-chars.py" accordingly.
2. Inserted the following lines in "indicator-chars.py":

    DarkTheme_item = self.create_menu_item('Use dark theme icons')
    DarkTheme_item.connect("activate", self.DarkTheme)
    menu.append(DarkTheme_item)
    LightTheme_item = self.create_menu_item('Use light theme icons')
    LightTheme_item.connect("activate", self.LightTheme)
    menu.append(LightTheme_item)

def DarkTheme(self, dude):
os.system("/usr/local/indicator-chars/dark-theme-icons")
def LightTheme(self, dude):
os.system("/usr/local/indicator-chars/light-theme-icons")

(As you can see I've also moved your script to /usr/local/indicator-chars even symlinking it in /usr/local/bin)

Perhaps, if you wish, you can implement this icon switching feature in a better way as I I only know a little bit shell scripting.

with Ubuntu 14.10 ( 3.13.0-39-generic #66-Ubuntu x86_64 GNU/Linux )
menu text is not "copied" when clicked, further investigation reveal that
I will have to change:
cb = gtk.Clipboard(selection="PRIMARY")

to

cb = gtk.Clipboard(selection="CLIPBOARD")

I'd just like to recommend including an example configuration file to go along with the app.

Change "Install" to "Configuration". It appeared as though you were indicating to install the files into a folder named "~/.indicator-chars"

Also change these from:
Create ~/.indicator-chars
Each row corresponds to a set of chars

To something like:
Create the configuration file ~/.indicator-chars (so as to explicitly differentiate from creating a directory)
Input a group of characters to access on each line of the file
