« on: March 08, 2009, 01:34 AM »
Highlighting text and pressing the ctrl key will copy the text

Middle clicking two times will paste the copied text

I guess this can be done in AutoHotKey.

Most highlighting text application copy text without enough disrimination. Such as in the case where you would want to rename a file, but the selection of the file name will overwrite what you have already copied.
I thought it will be better if there is more control when the ctrl key was used to really copy what you wanted.

you could put in a feature request here in the original thread of DragKing.

Here is my script:

Pressing left control two times quickly will copy and middle clicking with mouse button will paste.

~Lctrl::   
    If (A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotKey <= 500)
   { ; Double click
   Send ^c                    ; selection -> clipboard
      tempClipBoard := ClipBoardAll      ; save old clipboard
      ClipBoard =
     
     mmClip := ClipBoard        ; store selection in custom clipboard
     Clipboard :=tempClipBoard  ; restore clipboard for ctl-c and ctl-v
   
   }
   return

~Mbutton::
   If (A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotKey <= 500)
   { ; Double click
   Send, ^v   

   }
return
