Type Clipboard contents


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to make a hotkey (Ctrl-Shift-v) to type the contents of the clipboard for use in situations where a traditional "paste" doesn't work for whatever reason. The problem I'm having is that the script seems to break my regular shift and ctrl keys, as if they're stuck down. I have to exit the script and press and release the "stuck" keys to fix it. Any ideas? Here is the script:

;Set Hotkey of Ctrl-Shift-V to type clipboard text.
;Useful for situations that don't permit traditional pasting
#include <Clipboard.au3>
HotKeySet("+^v", "TypeClipText")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd


Func TypeClipText()
$Text = ClipGet ( )
Send($Text,1)
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc ;==>Terminate

This is a possible workaround

#include <WinapiEx.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

Global $iReset = 1
HotKeySet("+^v", "TypeClipText")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd


Func TypeClipText( )
$Text = ClipGet()
Send($Text, 1)
If Not $iReset Then Return
Local $string
If _IsPressed( '11' ) Then $string = '{CTRLUP}'
If _IsPressed( '10' ) Then $string &= '{SHIFTUP}'
If _IsPressed( '12' ) Then $string &= '{ALTUP}'
Send( $string )
EndFunc   ;==>TypeClipText

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Thumbs up if it helped :)

My code:

PredictText: Predict Text of an Edit Control Like Scite. Remote Gmail: Execute your Scripts through Gmail. StringRegExp:Share and learn RegExp.

Run As System: A command line wrapper around PSEXEC.exe to execute your apps scripts as System (LSA). Database: An easier approach for _SQ_LITE beginners.

MathsEx: A UDF for Fractions and LCM, GCF/HCF. FloatingText: An UDF for make your text floating. Clipboard Extendor: A clipboard monitoring tool. 

Custom ScrollBar: Scroll Bar made with GDI+, user can use bitmaps instead. RestrictEdit_SRE: Restrict text in an Edit Control through a Regular Expression.

Does this help ?
