Added new "copypaste" mode #25

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Added new mode as an option to deal with the slow-typing issue in type mode, updates with readme.md and added TOC to it.

I am using kde and I have noticed that the type mode is really slow when it is dealing with non-ascii character, see this: https://i.imgur.com/BOiNAeO.gifv

This is just really annoying when chatting with someone using keyboard, I have to wait until it is done and finally I can type my things. Although you can just use the copy mode and paste it yourself, but I think the copypaste mode will just do things faster, see the gif for example: https://i.imgur.com/zOFe8uA.gifv

Some minor changes with the readme.md files and added Table of contents to it so it will be easier for linux beginners and faster navigation between different sections.

I think I'm totally down for this. Xdotool is just so janky for type mode, it's a shame.

Not sure why it didn't occur to me to do this already! I think the potential variability of paste key combos must have caught me up, but making it a config value seems to straight up solve that. Great.

I'll take a closer look and get this incorporated soon, thanks! 😁

Okay so I added tests and refactored it slightly to be more DRY and boom goes the dynamite

thanks for your help! ヾ(´▽｀\;)ゝ
