Hey everyone, I am making a program which acts like a clipboard, but it also does a number of alterations to the data, like removing certain elements from HTML that has been copied. One problem I have come up against, is that I cannot send the keystroke CTRL+V when hotkeyset is specifying that that hotkey points to the paste function. The only way I have found around this (Other than using another hotkey for pasting, Ctrl+Shift+V which pastes straight from the windows clipboard anyway), is to input the data with the send command. The problem with this however, is that as I am sending thousands of letters at a time, it is taking forever to type it all out. Does anybody know a way around this? I am aware that there is a Hotkey UDF. Does anybody know if this addresses this problem?

Thanks.

Ctrl-Ins = copy

Shift-Ins = paste

My fingers don't even know how to Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V and like.

No, it is when I need to paste from the clipboard.

I had a program that I was using as a clipboard that could hold multiple different pieces of data (like the office clipboard) which could all be recalled later. Ofcourse, I wanted to use CTRL+V to paste so I set that as a hotkey and was using send. Then my brother asked why not just use clip put and paste it and it was because I didnt know any other hotkeys. It works now though, so thanks everyone.
