Cliptopia (TUI clipboard helper)

Hello!

I made a small Python tool to help handle clipboard.
Sharing it here in case anyone wants to try or use it as inspiration for new code.
It's aimed for people who uses X but like terminal applications.

Current features:

- Clipboard history daemon accessible through dbus
- Clipboard history display and selection (using Python Urwid)
- Smart copy&paste (automatically handling of `Ctrl+Shift+c|v` for terminals and `Ctrl+c|v` for other applications)

Using current example interface (in i3) it can look like this:
(I use a floating window, but you can of course use a non-floating one)

Repo both on Gitlab and Github.
No AUR package yet. Maybe when it gets a little more mature and if proves to be useful for anyone else.
The code has more deps than I would like, but... =/
More info on readme.

And I use the opportunity to ask: is it really safe to expose users clipboard through DBus?
