# 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.
## 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
-only tested on Windows.
- 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
```
## Usage
**For Windows users:**
1. Run the `run.bat` script to start the application.
```batch
run.bat
```
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`. (The shortcut can be customized in `config.json` or by running `config&run.bat`. see [configuration](https://github.com/Hamedrz004/oopswronglang/tree/add-readme?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration) for details.)
5. The selected text will be instantly converted.
To quit the application, right-click the tray icon and select "Quit".
## Configuration
**For Windows users:**
Run `config&run.bat` to easily configure the application.
This script allows you to set your preferred shortcut and other options, which are saved in `config.json`.
You can also manually edit `config.json` if you prefer.
## Dependencies
This project uses the following Python libraries:
- `keyboard`
- `pyperclip`
- `pystray`
- `Pillow`
These dependencies are listed in `requirements.txt` and will be installed automatically when you run `install.bat`.
