Thanks very much! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1#4 Wed, 27 May 2020 21:50:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1#4 ClipboardFusion Ah yep, that's interesting! I'm actually surprised nobody has requested this before, it's a great idea. I'll add a feature request to our list for an option in the Trigger rules to paste the clipboard when done.

In the meantime, you can indeed do this with a Macro. I've attached one that you can import on the Settings > Macros tab. After importing it, give it a key combination and then you can copy the text, run the Macro, and it will do the replacement and paste.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1#3 Tue, 26 May 2020 21:44:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1#3 ClipboardFusion I can replace the text on the clipboard just fine. But I've yet to determine if I can instruct ClipBoard fusion to also paste this replaced text.

I had assumed a function within the Trigger itself or, perhaps, as is more likely: a macro. And in that case, it could just be that I don't know the macro system at all. ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1#2 Tue, 26 May 2020 21:40:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1#2 ClipboardFusion You can do this, yep! Here are the steps:

• On the Settings > Triggers tab, click Add > Text Replace
• Enter the text you want to find, and the text you want to replace it with
• Click OK, then OK again
• Test it out

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1 Mon, 25 May 2020 16:20:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/tutorials-how-to-do-simple-text-replacements/?ID=acf376f8-6fb9-4168-b447-d5fae2db5db1 ClipboardFusion This is obviously very powerful software. However, I'm confounded by the lack of tutorials. I want to really dive in and learn this thing. If somebody asked me "What do you want to know?" I would answer "Everything." The current documentation assumes an engineer's mentality and provides no easy way for me to get my head around just how I can do what the features list this software can do.

And it's not clear that I can actually do some of the things I think I can. For instance: I've wanted to use this program to replace AutoHotKey since I barely use what that program can do (and am much more likely to use this one instead). It's not clear to me if I can replace a typed string (such as "acct#") with a replacement string (such as "12345"). I know I can replace that first string with a replacement on the clipboard - but is there a way that CF can paste it (I can find an action for that).

As for learning, here's a question to add onto this: I'm looking through these forums for links. Are there any must-read links that aren't stickied?

Thanks in advance. ]]>
