Package: cliplayer
cliplayercliplayer helps to script shell based lectures or screencast trainings. The player takes a playbook with shell commands that are executed live like you write them at this moment.MotivationWhen holding lectures or recording screencast you often need to devide your attention between talking and typing at the same time. This cliplayer helps you to concentrate more on what you want to teach instead of what you need to type.Corona EditionIt was planed to release the player along with an other project. Since many people are now forced to stay at home, maybe the cliplayer can help some people to make awesome bash tutorials.Installationpip install cliplayerUsagecliplayer [-h] [-p PROMPT] [-n NEXT_KEY] [-i INTERACTIVE_KEY]
