Use PlainPaste without Tray Icon?
« on: January 07, 2009, 07:28 PM »
Is it possible to add the paste function from PlainPaste ahk script to the script that runs when AutoHotKey loads? Basically I love this little app but I want to reduce the number of sytem tray icons that load.
Thanks.

yes, you can. Skrommel has included the source as well with the downloads. let me know if you need help in doing that.

Well since you have offered...  :)
I am a newbie to AHK so I really have no idea what I should copy from Skrommel's script. I have tried one or two things already but no success so far!

here you go - the paste-only function. i have not tested extensively and also you might need to change the delay period (commented) as to the speed of your keyboard/PC. :)

;PlainPaste-mod.ahk
; Press Ctrl-V once to paste regularly, or twice fast to paste as text.
; Modded to be included as part of larger scripts
;Skrommel @2006

SetBatchLines,-1
pastecounter=0
delay=333 ;change if necessary

$^v::
pastecounter+=1
SetTimer,PASTETWICE,%delay%
Return

PASTETWICE:
SetTimer,PASTETWICE,Off
wholeclipboard:=ClipboardAll
If pastecounter>1
  Clipboard=%Clipboard%
pastecounter=0
Send,^v
Clipboard:=wholeclipboard
Return
