IDEA: text-only clipboard without separate hotkey.

(1/3) > >>

rin67630:
Hi,
i do use a nice app named "HovText" that can modify the clipboard to store text-only.
This app has an quick icon to toggle between regular clipboard (with formatting) and text-only clipboard.

I'd prefer following behaviour:
[CTRL-C] once -> regular clipboard.
[CTRL-C] twice (e.g. within the mouse double-click time) -> text-only clipboard.

That would really be a huge increase in comfort, isn't it?

Could anyone achieve that piece of magic?

Regards
Michel

My favorite Clipboard Manager ArsClip (just a 860 KB exe) offers an extra hotkey for pasting as plain text.

Example configuration:
CTRL + V = Paste (normal)
WIN + V = Paste as plain text

Some other features:

* Multiple permanent items groups
* Picture, RichText, File Copy, Unicode, HTML support
* Keypress emulation
* Form Mode for pasting multiple fields
* Highly configurable

 :) Not pretending to have all the answers, but isn't it more natural to give this option to Paste instead of Copy (and Cut)?


PlainPaste - Press Ctrl-V once to paste regularly, Ctrl-V twice within 1/3 of a second to paste as text.

Great idea, by the way!

Hi
i do not mind if it is done on the ctrl-c or the ctrl-v side, maybe the second option would be more tricky to programm, isn't it!
in the first option, after the first click the data is in one defined place (the clipboard) with the second option the data would be in the receiving programm...
