I just want a very simple second copy/paste. I know there are lots of clipboard managers, but I couldn't find one that did only this.

I have this:

Code:
^h::
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll   ; Save the entire clipboard
Clipboard =                 ; Clear the clipboard (useful for when there is no highlighted text)
Send ^c                     ; Copy the highlighted text to the clipboard
ClipWait 1                  ; Wait up to 1 second for the clipboard to contain data
if ErrorLevel               ; If there is no data in the clipboard after 1 second, exit
Stuff := Clipboard   ; Assign the clipboard content to the variable
Clipboard := ClipSaved      ; Restore the original clipboard
ClipSaved =                 ; Free the memory in case the clipboard was very large
return

^k::SendInput %Stuff%


Can anyone help me get a second clipboard if not like this?

Thanks,

Brent.

Duplicate your code in the same file, choose different hotkeys for the (2) new hotkeys.

Change the variable "Stuff" to some other name.

Thanks. I've just gotten back to this. I worked out that hadn't given the If Errorlevel an action.

I've got the following, which almost works:

Code:
^e::
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll   ; Save the entire clipboard
Clipboard =              ; Clear the clipboard (useful for when there is no highlighted text)
Send ^c                     ; Copy the highlighted text to the clipboard
ClipWait, 1                 ; Wait up to 1 second for the clipboard to contain data
if ErrorLevel               ; If there is no data in the clipboard after 1 second, exit
{
   MsgBox, The attempt to copy text onto the clipboard failed.
   return
}
NewClipboard := Clipboard   ; Assign the clipboard content to the variable
Clipboard := ClipSaved      ; Restore the original clipboard
ClipSaved :=              ; Free the memory in case the clipboard was very large
return

^r::SendInput %NewClipboard%


The only problem now is that when I ^e text with multiple lines, when I ^r every new-line is sent as 2xnew-line. Any idea on how to stop that?

referring to your posted script, I had to add a line to make the script reliably copy & paste
Code:
NewClipboard := Clipboard   ; Assign the clipboard content to the variable

sleep, 100 ; <--- added this line

Clipboard := ClipSaved      ; Restore the original clipboard


>>The only problem now is that when I ^e text with multiple lines, when I ^r every new-line is sent as 2xnew-line. Any idea on how to stop that?

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Clipboard.htm
Please notice the first example script has "Loop, parse, clipboard, `n, `r "
Please read the docs to understand how the parameters work http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/LoopParse.htm
And read about the characters `n, `r
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_EscapeChar.htm

Depending on the program that you paste text into the above characters may be interpreted differently.
Notpad for example expands them so the original text as a blank line where there was none.

Do some experimenting with this command to see if you can replace `n`r with just one or the other, or with `r`n.

See the examples here
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands ... eplace.htm

Hi, thanks. I had read those pages, and it didn't make much sense to me. I've added the sleep, and the line replacing `r with nothing.

Now I've got the code:

Code:
^e::
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll   ; Save the entire clipboard
Clipboard =              ; Clear the clipboard (useful for when there is no highlighted text)
Send ^c                     ; Copy the highlighted text to the clipboard
ClipWait, 1                 ; Wait up to 1 second for the clipboard to contain data
if ErrorLevel               ; If there is no data in the clipboard after 1 second, exit
{
   MsgBox, The attempt to copy text onto the clipboard failed.
   return
}
NewClipboard := Clipboard   ; Assign the clipboard content to the variable
sleep,100
Clipboard := ClipSaved      ; Restore the original clipboard
ClipSaved :=              ; Free the memory in case the clipboard was very large
StringReplace, NewClipboard, NewClipboard,`r,,All
return

^r::SendInput {raw}%NewClipboard%


When ^r this text here in IE it works ok, but then 1 second later it truncates the text to the following and adds it to the Preview Window

Code:
^e::
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll   ; Save the entire clipboard
Clipboard =              ; Clear the clipboard (useful for when there is no highlighted text)
Send ^c                     ; Copy the highlighted text to the clipboard
ClipWait, 1                 ; Wait up to 1 second for the clipboard to contain data
if ErrorLevel               ; If there is no data in the clipboard after 1 second, exit
{
The attempt to copy text onto the clipboard failed.


Something is going on beyond my ability to learn about and debug. I don't suppose you've got any other pointers? Or if anyone else is reading this do they know of any simple copy/paste autohotkey scripts?

Thanks for all your help.

Winclip seems to be a good way to do your own clipboard with Min amount of programming
