; Use a hotkey
Space::SendInput, {Pause}

; Use a hotstring

Thanks tonne. I think that will work. I can split the name into first, middle, and last after it goes through the RegEx split.

I added one more condition, since your code didn't handle the 5th stri ...

Laszlo: Good point about my binary comparison. If I ever get OnClipboardChange to work the way I need, I'll research a long-term solution. Smile

Your Traytip code is a good addition. It serves a sim ...

So far, vital and I have both run across this problem.

If urlwolf or anyone else wants to try and reproduce the problem, then run the script below.

To test, do copies and pastes throughout the d ...

I moved all my clipboard code into its own script. The OnClipboardChange label does remain active longer in this configuration, but it still stops being called after several hours of using the script. ...

Sweet. That works.

Thanks Skan.

Is there a simple way to center the text of a tooltip within a window?

I have code to calculate the center of the window. However, if the tooltip is, "This is my tooltip to display.", the ...
