#### Non-focus-stealing color-coded snippet button palette for X11 forms

A lightweight Linux X11 alternative to TypeItIn for fast button-driven
form filling and text pasting. Independent open-source project, not
affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Wavget or TypeItIn. Uses XTest
and X11 window management; Wayland-native sessions restrict external window
typing.

FEATURES

* Always-on-Top Non-Focus-Stealing Palette: keep color-coded snippet tabs
  floating above your browser or office form without stealing X11 input focus.
* Dynamic Tokens & Navigation: send plain text combined with {Tab}, {Enter},
  {Date}, {Time}, {Clipboard}, and custom key sequences via X11Input.
* Customizable Groups & JSON Backup: organize groups with custom colors,
  adjust palette columns and opacity, review paste history, and switch
  between English and Vietnamese interfaces.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install Snippet Button Palette

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:
