auto copy mouse highlighted text from any program

[compn]

in one piece of software i use, it auto copies to clipboard anything i highlight.

i thought this was a neat feature, but why not make it universal to all software and operating system?

i see there is a tool to do it, autoclipX but it is not developed anymore and website is gone. i am not sure if it works in windows10 either. i havent tested it yet.

i saw autoclipx from this reddit thread while looking for a tool: https://www.reddit.c...ted_text_on_windows/

web archive of autoclipx website (last? version when it was freeware): https://web.archive....0/software/autoclipx

(i am not interested in funding this program.)

it looks like its possible with AHK https://www.autohotk...lect-implementation/

ah yes, i'm using the ahk 1.x script in that thread now. i can select text and paste it with middle click. i am never going back to ctrl+c / ctrl+v again!

i wonder if there is an updated script?
