Ctoolu (Clipboard Tool, Universal, pronounced "cthulhu") matches patterns in the clipboard text and pops up menus to execute actions. It is inspired by Klipper but aims to be more modular in its configuration.
Ensure ctoolu is launched either manually or via ctoolu.desktop by
restarting your desktop session.
When text which matches one of the patterns is copied to the clipboard, you
will see a popup menu. You can also sidestep the clipboard via
ctoolu-activate "TEXT"

Install system-wide via:
sudo rake install
or for the current user via:
rake install_user
It will install the various executables and configuration files, set up a ClipboardRelay service on the session dbus, and set up ctoolu for session autostart.
Run ctoolu either by logging out and in again, or via:
rake run
Edit ctoolu.yaml in /etc/xdg (for system-wide installations) or
$HOME/.config (for per-user installations) to have it watch the
primary selection instead of the clipboard, or to switch from
automatic to explicit activation via ctoolu-activate.
The patterns to be matched, and actions offered via the pop-up menu
are defined in YAML files under /usr/share/ctoolu (for system-wide
installations) or $HOME/.local/share/ctoolu (for per-user
installations). See the existing files for example syntax.
