AutoCopy Paste Script

You highlight text and press "Pause" to copy it to clipboard. Pressing "Pause" again should toggle function and pastes the text.

Works fine except that the text gets pasted twice. Why?

PS: eventually I would like to use the middle button click instead of the "Pause" key to copy/paste.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Went about it a little different, tried to keep it to one loop

expandcollapse popup

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "Copy/Paste"

Global $Paused = 0
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage")  ;Shift-Alt-d

;;;; Body of program would go here ;;;;
While 1
    Sleep(100)
 Switch $Paused
  Case 1
   Send ("^c")
   $Paused = 3
  Case 2
   ToolTip("")
   Send (ClipGet())
   $Paused = 0
  Case 3
   ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
 EndSwitch
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()
 Switch $Paused
  Case 0
   $Paused = 1
  Case 1
   $Paused = 3
  Case 3
   $Paused = 2
 EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func ShowMessage()
    MsgBox(4096,"","This is a message.")
EndFunc

Thank you both for the solutions.

I'm going to get busy and work on the Middle Button Click function. Should be a nice timesaver.
