Amenu – Fast Inline Prompt Search & Copy Tool

Amenu is a minimal, lightning-fast launcher for searching and copying AI prompts or snippets from a customizable list—right from a sleek, inline command bar at the top of your screen.

• Lets you search your personal collection of prompts in real-time as you type.
• Displays all matching prompts as inline suggestions, with the current selection highlighted for easy navigation.
• Lets you tab between suggestions and hit Enter to instantly copy the full prompt text to your clipboard (Linux-friendly, using xclip).
• Stays out of your way: no distracting dropdowns, no mouse required, and closes as soon as you copy.

• Speed: Find and copy prompts or snippets in seconds, without ever leaving the keyboard.
• Focus: The distraction-free, single-bar UI keeps you in your flow—perfect for developers, writers, or anyone who needs quick access to reusable text.
• Customizable: Simply edit your prompts file to add, remove, or update your favorite prompts.
• Flexible: Launch with any prompts file you like (just pass the path as a command-line argument).

1. Prepare your prompts file:
   Each line should be formatted as

   prompt title:prompt text to copy
   

   Example:

   update files:You're going to help me update a set of files based on instructions...
   create readme:I’ll provide you with code from a project, and you’ll generate a GitHub README...
   

2. Launch Amenu:

   • To use the default prompts file in your current directory:

     python amenu.py
     

   • Or specify a custom prompts file:

     python amenu.py /path/to/my_prompts_file
     

3. Search and copy:

   • Start typing in the bar—the suggestions update instantly.
   • Tab to cycle through matches.
   • Hit Enter to copy the selected prompt to your clipboard.
   • Amenu closes automatically.

Anyone who wants ultra-fast access to reusable text:

• Developers searching code snippets or commit messages
• Writers using research or boilerplate
• Power users who script or automate repetitive tasks
