New feature: hotkey to "auto-add" to previous clip

(1/1)

dcwul62:

Up front, maybe it is already available, I don't know - haven't found it.

If not, then maybe it would be a new feature...

Hotkey  that "auto-adds" text to previous clip

How I do it now:
select text - Ctrl c
select other text - Ctrl c
select some more text - Ctrl c

open CHS
select the entries
click on merge + ok

it would show like:
this is 1st text
and this is the 2nd part
and this the 3rd

below each other
then I further need to adjust this to:

this is 1st text and this is the 2nd part and this the 3rd



What I would like to suggest
select text - Ctrl-C   (or SomeHotKey, a different one)
select other text - SomeHotKey
select some more text - SomeHotKey

--> in CHS it shows like: this is 1st text and this is the 2nd part and this the 3rd


paste!
the result is : this is 1st text and this is the 2nd part and this the 3rd

Example:
I capture a photo from a website
below the photo details are displayed, like long title, short title, place, names of people, when shot, photographer, bla bla

now I select
short title (ctrl-c)
place (SomeHotkey)
when shot (SomeHotkey)

resulting in: short title place when shot

this i can paste when naming the screenshot  (save as =>   paste)

again, maybe it is available...

thanks

select text - some-hotkey

if you don't mind an interim solution, the following ahk script can do what you want.

use ctrl+alt+c to append text into clipboard, comes in handy when collating info from different sources.


--- Code: Autohotkey ---^!c::; Source: http://www.biancolo.com/; Appends selection to clipboardbak = %clipboard%clipboard = ; Empty the clipboardSend, ^cClipWait, 2If ErrorLevel{    TrayTip, MyAHK, The attempt to copy text onto the clipboard failed.,1    SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, 5000    Return}clipboard = %bak%`r`n%clipboard%Return RemoveTrayTip:SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, OffTrayTipReturn

dcwul62:
Many thanks indeed!
However, I am hardly familiar with .ahk scripts and stuff.
wouldn't know how to deal with the above.

1. copy paste into an editor
2. save as (e.g.) CopyAppend.ahk

but... then what?

like,
- where to put?
- how to activate when launching portable.. CHS?
- how to de-activate?

thanks!

if you don't have Autohotkey (AHK) installed, then you can download and install it first.

the snippet i posted was meant to be part of a larger script but since then i have made some changes to suit your needs.

- where to put?
you can put it in the same folder as the exe file of CHS.

- how to activate when launching portable.. CHS?
when you launch the script, it will check and start CHS for you.

- how to de-activate?
press Ctrl+Alt+End to pause the script (toggles on/off). if you want to exit the script, you can right-click on its icon in the system tray and choose 'Exit'.


hope this helps..
