How can I select/copy sections of text (from the browser and also from an open editor) that automatically gets appended to a file?
Piping the contents of the clipboard will slow me down and I may as well paste it as I am doing now. The idea is to do nothing other than the copy operation (Ctrl+c) that would result in the selection being appended to the file of my choosing.
I suggest that you try the current version of append_clipboard.py from https://gist.github.com/SergKolo/ff9defd9cef4e704a64be505f28fa3cd
The script was modified 6 hours after your comment regarding Notify 0.7 and appears to address your concerns.
Dont forget you need to have xclip installed as referenced in @Serg answer to How to only append to clipboard (but not overwrite current data)?
As Byte Commander explained in another thread, bash commands in custom shortcut key should be in single quotes and preceded by bash-c. Therefore to run the python script using a shortcut key, the command that worked for me was:
bash -c 'python ~/myscripts/test_python.py'
and the command to run a shell script using a shortcut key:
bash -c 'bash ~/myscripts/test.sh'
