Summary
🚀 New Features
- XDG Base Directory compliance — all install/config/runtime paths now resolve via
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME, $XDG_DATA_HOME, and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR with the conventional defaults (~/.config, ~/.local/share, /tmp) as fallbacks. BIN_DIR stays ~/.local/bin since no XDG standard covers user binaries.
--uninstall flag — removes the binary symlink, .desktop entry, and data directory with colored per-step output and a post-run verification pass. Prompts to remove the config directory when stdin is a TTY; skips the prompt (keeps config) in non-interactive mode.
✨ Enhancements
- xclip advisory —
--check-deps and --install now emit a yellow warning when wl-clipboard is absent but xclip is found, explaining that xclip routes through XWayland and may be unreliable on Wayland.
- Dependency message cleanup — normalized all clipboard messages to use package names (
wl-clipboard, xclip) consistently.
- Readable path output — added
tilde_path helper that replaces the $HOME prefix with ~/ in any user-facing path string. Applied throughout --help, --install, and --uninstall output. Paths outside $HOME (e.g. custom XDG roots) are shown as full absolute paths. All actual file operations continue to use the original absolute paths.
📝 Documentation
- README — updated install steps, usage block, and configuration section to reference XDG variables; added xclip advisory to prerequisites; documented
--uninstall.
Tests
- Improve Legibility — export
XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME in the sandbox so the overridden HOME is respected (fixes a pre-existing test regression).
- Mock Tools — add
cp and ln to mocked tools.
- New Test — add test 15 (install verifies XDG file placement).
- New Test — add test 16 (uninstall verifies cleanup with config kept).
