[- Release -] Clipboard Tool

[FinalVersion 2]

Notes: Simple, but I find this extremely useful.

Hotkeys:

• Ctrl + Home (Clear the clipboard)
• Ctrl + Page Up (Read the clipboard)
• Ctrl + End (Exit the program)

ToDo:

• Load File Into Clipboard With Hotkey.
• Your Suggestions!

I'd prefer using ispressed() udf or wm events instead of hotkeyset to avoid blocking functionality of other software using the same hotkey. I know this because I made the same mistake once.

[FinalVersion 2]

Yeah I noticed the interference with firefox trying to create a New Tab. Will fix asap.

Edit: Done.

You might add option to automatically output clipboard text. I remember I saw a udf for that. Search for "_clipboard_getall" and you'll probably find it.

[FinalVersion 2]

What do you mean, automatically output the clipboard text?

[Shafayat 2]

I mean show the traytip you are using whenever data in clipboard changes.

[FinalVersion 2]

Ok will add that.

That's kinda of a cool idea. I like the adding support to load a file to the clipboard. (even though I'm sure it's been done before).

_IsPressed in a loop like that is a bad hack. Why not just send the keypresses through in your function if you really don't want to eat them?
