Many of my comments in the forum include links to other sites and topics. I like to title my links because URLs tend to be long and undescriptive. This requires manually editing the [URL] tags for every link; however, so I wrote a short script.
All it does is wait for a link to be copied to the clipboard (anything starting with "http://"). It then waits 5 seconds for you to activate a forum posting window. If you do, it formats the link on the clipboard to look like: [url=link]title[/url]. The script has 2 settings for the title of the link. It can be either the title of the Window that the URL came from or the text from the middle of the URL, in between the "www" and ".com" (the URL isn't required to have www or .com in it, those are just examples).
Code:
#SingleInstance force
#Persistent
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
SetTitleMatchMode, slow
;
TypeOfTitle= 1 ;1|2 1=Title of the URL's Window.
; 2=URL text between "www" and ".com"
