+# video demo at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90xoathBYfk

+# written by "mhwombat": https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=71938&p=2
+# Based on "snippy" by "sessy" 
+# (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=71938)
+#
+# You will also need "dmenu", "xsel" and "xdotool". Get them from your linux
+# distro in the usual way.
+#
+# To use:
+# 1. Create the directory ~/.snippy
+#
+# 2. Create a file in that directory for each snippet that you want.
+#    The filename will be used as a menu item, so you might want to
+#    omit the file extension when you name the file. 
+#
+#    TIP: If you have a lot of snippets, you can organise them into 
+#    subdirectories under ~/.snippy.
+#
+#    TIP: The contents of the file will be pasted asis, so if you 
+#    don't want a newline at the end when the text is pasted, don't
+#    put one in the file.
+#
+# 3. Bind a convenient key combination to this script.
+#
+#    TIP: If you're using XMonad, add something like this to xmonad.hs
+#      ((mod4Mask, xK_s), spawn "/path/to/snippy")
+#
