Description
ClipTrap watches the clipboard and keeps track of copied text in its window.  I initially wrote it for my workplace where we use terminal emulators (SecureCRT, PuTTY, etc.) constantly and often need to capture several successive bits of output from various routers, switches, and other devices on the network.  I fleshed it out and prettied it up for NANY 2010.  I use this in conjunction with ArsClip, a fantastic clipboard caching tool.

Features

* Customizable font.
* Minimize to tray option.
* Unicode capable.
Planned Features
I cater to the people so suggest something.   :D

NANY 2010 Release: ClipTrap

Usage
Installation
Unpack the archive to its own folder and run ClipTrap.exe.

Uninstallation
Delete the folder you unpacked the archive to.  Nothing is written to the registry.

Known Issues
It wouldn't be software if it didn't have issues.  Let me know if you find any.

Interesting idea :)

I tried it out for a bit and it seemed to work fine for the most part.

I encountered a problem when trying to work w/ certain kinds of strings -- e.g. some CJK-ish stuff didn't seem to go over very well.

The following series of steps appears to reproduce the problem in my environment:


* Ensure ClipTrap is running
* Visit translate.google.com
* For text to translate, enter "test" - no double quotes
* Choose to translate from English to Japanese
* Select and copy the result of the translation -- should be two characters
* In ClipTrap, observe that the second character seems different
Do you encounter the same issue?

No, I don't.  However, I run my computers with Japanese as the default language and also have them set up with Japanese set as the language to use for non-Unicode applications.  It's possible that is what allows me to see the Kanji for shiken properly.

ewemoa:
Thanks for the response.

Perhaps I can try ClipTrap out on a machine with a Japanese environment taking into account some of what you mentioned.

BTW, I happened across a thread titled "UNICODE version of AutoHotkey" at the AHK forum.  Are you familiar with this?

ewemoa:
I've done some testing.

Here's what a I found:

Japanse OS + Japanese set as the language to use for non-Unicode applications
-Japanese text seems OK
-Korean text doesn't

Korean OS
-Korean text seems OK
-Japanese text doesn't

English OS + Japanese set as the language to use for non-Unicode applications
-Japanese text seems OK
-Korean text doesn't

English OS + Korean set as the language to use for non-Unicode applications
-Korean text seems OK
-Japanese text doesn't

--- End quote ---

So if I had to guess I'd say that the language to use for non-Unicode applications seems to be relevant...
