Doing an append to the clipboard

... just select several clips in the main window, and join them together, separated by some character. I think it'd be easier than adding another hotkey.-jgpaiva (June 18, 2006, 04:57 AM)

Well, the above suggestion is okay, but I also need a way to append clips from several different documents.

For example, I manage an e-mailing list, and I get bounces spread across 30 different e-mails.  I need to merge their address contents ("550 User unknown" from different mail daemons) into a single laundry list so I can unsubscribe them from this e-mailing list.  The append hotkey lets me do that easily.

Also, I'm trying to select multiple discontinous words right here in Firefox.  Can Firefox even do this?  I know how to select discontinous cells in Excel; but not in Firefox, Notepad, or Outlook.  If there's a way, please tell me know.

mouser:
right, ok so too different things here.
superticker - wants a hotkey so he can select, hit hotkey to APPEND new selection to clipboard.
jgpaiva (and others) - want command to select a bunch of clips and merge them to one.

jgpaiva:
I can see superticker's point of view, but wouldn't it be almost the same?
I mean, i also would like the hotkey, as it'd make it faster, but i'm not much for hotkeys.

The main reason i need this is because it'd be much easier to make newsletter address collecting for example. I could collect all the links, keep copying them one by one, then go to the main window, select them all and join them together. I know the hotkey would be optional, i'm just wondering if i'm misunderstanding or miscomunicating something.

mouser:
no, i think you've got it right..

which is faster and more efficient might depend on how many of these you are doing.
if you are doing a lot, i think the normal process of copying all and then going to main chs window and "merging" a bunch of clips would be better, and less prone to error.

if you are just doing like 2 or 3 at a time, then a special hotkey might be faster just because you wouldn't have to open up the chs window to operate it.

you wouldn't have to open up the chs window to operate it.

FWIW, The free version of ClipCache allows you to right-click on its tray icon, which pops up a little menu.  There you can change from Capture Clips = each clip is separate to Append text captures which accumulates everything in one clip until turned off.
