A Python 3 implementation of Puush for Linux.
$ python3 setup.py install
- In order to take screenshots, you need scrot installed and in your PATH.
- In order to use the clipboard option, you need xclip (WARNING: sourceforge link) installed and in your PATH.
- If you want to play the beep when the upload is finished, the
playcommand has to be available. It is most likely found in thesoxpackage of your respective package manager.
In order to use Puush, you have to have an API key. To retrieve your API key, log into your Puush account and get your API key; to be found under Account > Settings.
You can either pass the key to Puush in the environment variable PUUSH_API_KEY or by dumping it into the file ~/.config/puush/key.

If you want to use the same keybindings that you are used to on Windows, you will have to set those in your WM/DE settings. If you use a full DE like KDE, XFCE, Gnome/Cinnamon or Unity, you will find a keybindings option in your system settings.
Below is a sample configuration for the i3 window manager:
# Puush keybindings
bindsym Ctrl+Shift+2 exec --no-startup-id puush -c window
bindsym Ctrl+Shift+3 exec --no-startup-id puush -c desktop
bindsym Ctrl+Shift+4 exec --no-startup-id puush -c area
This is not an official Puush implementation and I'm not affiliated with the creator(s) of Puush.
The method for the upload has been taken from here.
