format text on clipboard without pasting?
« on: May 17, 2011, 08:10 PM »
is it possible to format the text on the clipboard without pasting? so that i can paste later.

i often use remote sessions on other machines and would find this useful for that. also, i have some autohotkey scripts that process text that is already on the clipboard... CHS can easily do a bit of preprocessing of copied for me, but i don't want to paste the result, just to leave it for the autohotkey scripts.

from the main window you can.
i could make it a global option whether to paste after formatting text with the quick popup menu.

i was thinking of an option on the saved formatting dialog, but yes, that would just as well.

thanks
