[IDEA] copy on select
kalos:
hello
each time I select/highlight text in any program, I would like to copy it automatically in a clipboard (seperate from the normal clipboard, which will be used when I copy text with ctrl+c, by context menu, and the other normal ways of copy)
then, middle click to paste only the data of that seperate clipboard
can anyone implement something like this?
thanks!
Ath:
I think the Skrommel utility DragKing does most of that already, source is available, so you can adjust as desired :)
kalos:
yes, that's close, but I think it needs a lot of work to become what I am looking for, of which I dont have a clue :/
Curt:
The new in your idea is not copy on select, but paste on middle-click; many programs will offer to copy on select. You may want to have a different kind of extra clipboard, as an example working with the NUM keys - I cannot imagine anyone offering the middle-click option.

I've used a slightly more complicated version of this QnD (Quick 'n Dirty) AHK script for years to paste on middle-click. Here's a basic version:
--- Code: Autohotkey ---~MButton::{ If ( A_Cursor = "IBeam" ) { SendInput, ^v }}Return
