Clipboard Help+Spell / Word wrap
« Last post by shmuel1 on February 15, 2022, 12:26 PM »
Sorry if this is an easy question, but I couldn't find it.
How do I get the text of a long clip to wrap around in the Clipboard Help and Spell window?
Thanks

This may also be useful to you, as it gives off a sound on no internet.

Play a sound if there is no response, simply add the -d parameter to the command

Thanks for the idea, but i like skwire's utility better.
I agree with mouser that this would be a nice addition to skwire's utility.

Can you add an option to keep the ping and error counters even when the program is closed, and a reset counters button?

I attached another set of icons. A bit smaller than the previous ones I sent. Feel free to distribute them as alternative icons, if you want.

Thanks. It's really nice.
I preferred larger icons, so I made the attached icons.

Someone recommended FreePing, which is a light utility that will pop up when there is no connection to a specified site.

Doesn't the standard network icon just show if the network adapter is working?
If the problem is further down the line, like if the company's router is down or if my ISP is having problems, I don't think it shows anything different.

I searched the site a bit and I can't find it.

Does anyone know of a utility that shows a different icon on the taskbar when there is no internet connection?

Finished Programs / DONE: Icon in system tray to show when there in no internet connection
« Last post by shmuel1 on May 28, 2017, 04:37 PM »
Skype used to have a system tray icon that changed when there is no internet access. In the new Skype there is no skype icon in the system tray, so I can't easily tell when the internet is down.

I'd like a quick way to tell when the internet is down. I don't want a network speed indicator, just an icon that appears one way when there is internet access an another way when there is no internet access. I assume this utility would have to ping some location let's say every 15 seconds.

For extra credit you could be able to configure how often it pings and where it pings.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but since Windows 7 there have been shortcut keys to fit a window to the right or left of the screen: Windows Key + Left Arrow and Windows Key + Right Arrow.

I was having the same problem with my laptop so I wrote this small script. I attached the script here as an .exe. Let me know if you need changes.

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. #include <WinAPISys.au3>
  2. Dim $return
  3.  
  4. While 1 ; infinite loop
  5.    $return = _WinAPI_GetSystemPowerStatus()
  6.    If $return[0] = 0 Then ; the first value in the returned array is 0 if the laptop is not plugged in
  7.           ToolTip(@CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & "     Power cable unplugged!     " & @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & @CRLF & " ", @DesktopWidth/2 - 75, @DesktopHeight/5)
  8.    Else
  9.           ToolTip("") ; close ToolTip
  10.    EndIf
  11.    Sleep(1000)

Skrommel's Software / AutoClip Problem
« Last post by shmuel1 on July 07, 2013, 09:41 AM »
I can't get AutoClip to automatically replace the text with my clip. It replaces the text with a space. When I click on the item in the menu, it inserts the clip, but it does not work with auto-replace.

Any ideas?

I'm running Windows 7 SP1, 64-bits.

For these options I need to know the window class:
- show the total amount of currently opened ATH_Notes in the message
- experimental option: closing the message box will automatically
  send ctrl-S to all opened ATH_Note windows.

« Last post by shmuel1 on July 19, 2012, 11:36 AM »
I would also like something like that. I use the Thunderbird address book for my contacts. I think it has everything you want, but it's annoying to have to open Thunderbird to access it, especially on a netbook. It would be nice if Thunderbird would separate the address book from the rest of the program.

I could make you an AutoIt script for this.

Do you still need this?

I would make the script to work together with FileZilla FTP program, unless you have another free FTP program that you prefer.
