I need to have a dozen or so permanent clips that I can call at any time with a HotKey combination. It's a simple text that I need pasted and no string manipulation is necessary.

Can it be done?

There are a few ways you could do this:
  • Set the Pinned Items hotkey on the Clipboard Syncing tab, and use the Pinned Items (limited to 10 items though)
  • Create a Macro for each item you want to paste (I can provide an example if needed)
  • Create a Macro that opens a dialog with a drop-down allowing you to choose the item you want to paste (though this can basically already be done by using the Recent and Pinned Items in the Quick History menu

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions at all.

Thanks!

Dear Keith,

Thank you for your reply.

Would you be so kind to give me simple examples for option 2 and 3 bearing in mind that I'm not into programming :laugh:

Thanks,

Sure thing, I've attached the two examples. You can import them on the Settings > Macros tab :)

Hi Keith,

I like a drop-down dialog a lot, but I was wondering if the drop down dialog can display not the values I want to paste but descriptive names, and then ClipboarFusion should past the value depending of what I selected? (I'm not sure I explained properly)

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Hi,

This works great!

I also have some a simple macros for pasting text like this:

using System;

public static class ClipboardFusionHelper
{
public static string ProcessText(string OfficeMail)
{
return "myOffceEMailAddress";
}
}

But this only puts the quoted text to the clipboard. How do I paste it directly, without having to do CTRL+V ?

Thanks

Just add this line before the return line:

BFS.Clipboard.PasteText("myOffceEMailAddress");

And if you don't want it to actually put it on the clipboard, change the return line to:

return null;

Great !Thank you very much for a prompt answer.

You know, this is why I bought Clipboard Fusion. You guys give great tech support so your software is worth every penny.

I also bought for the office where I work DisplayFusion, and it's great.

Keep up the GOOD JOB!

Best regards

It's not clear from the Clipboard Syncing tab how to create pinned items. It's mostly about using an account and syncing. Where do you create the pinned items? How is the Modifier key used? if I select the Window key and hit Window-0, it activates Windows functionality for display an app. The help goes to a minimal page with little information? Where's the manual or a page that explains how to use each feature?

Is there a way to have a listbox instead of a dropdown? The listbox can show all the pinned items at a glance and it's a better UI control than a dropdown.

Recent Items, Pinned Items, and syncing are all intertwined. If you sync a clipboard copy, it goes into the "Recent Items." You can then go to "Manage Items" in the Recent Items menu, choose one of the items, and click the pushpin button to move it to the "Pinned Items."

Regarding using a listbox in the Macro, I'm not sure if this is currently possible, but I'll find out for you :)

Thanks!

I've attached a macro that will display a listview instead of a dropdown. You can import it on the Settings > Macros tab.

I hope this works for you!
