# OopsWrongLang
|
|
|
|
A simple utility to fix text that you accidentally typed in the wrong keyboard layout (English to Persian and vice-versa).
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Converts selected text between English and Persian keyboard layouts.
|
|
- Runs in the background with a system tray icon.
|
|
- Easy to use with a simple keyboard shortcut.
|
|
- Cross-platform (should work on Windows, macOS, and Linux).
|
|
|
|
## How it Works
|
|
|
|
The application runs in the background and monitors for a specific keyboard shortcut. When you press the shortcut, it does the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Copies the currently selected text to the clipboard.
|
|
2. Converts the text to the other keyboard layout (e.g., English to Persian).
|
|
3. Pastes the converted text, replacing your selection.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- You must have Python installed on your system. You can download it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repository or download the source code.
|
|
2. **For Windows users:**
|
|
Run the `install.bat` script to create a virtual environment and install the required dependencies.
|
|
```batch
|
|
install.bat
|
|
```
|
|
**For macOS/Linux users:**
|
|
Open your terminal and run the following commands:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create a virtual environment
|
|
python -m venv venv
|
|
|
|
# Activate the virtual environment
|
|
# On macOS/Linux:
|
|
source venv/bin/activate
|
|
# On Windows (if not using the .bat file):
|
|
# venv\\Scripts\\activate
|
|
|
|
# Install the dependencies
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
**For Windows users:**
|
|
|
|
1. Run the `run.bat` script to start the application.
|
|
```batch
|
|
run.bat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**For macOS/Linux users:**
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have activated the virtual environment (see Installation section).
|
|
2. Run the main script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python src/main.pyw
|
|
```
|
|
2. The application will start running in the background, and you will see its icon in the system tray.
|
|
3. Select any text you want to convert.
|
|
4. Press `Ctrl+Space`.
|
|
5. The selected text will be instantly converted.
|
|
|
|
To quit the application, right-click the tray icon and select "Quit".
