Nope, didn't have anything else on the clipboard and yes it was while pasting into Word(2007). The copying was not done within Word however.

The weird thing was that it was during a pasting of 4 pictures. The first two were fine, then the third was wrong, and the fourth was right. The third one was not the first, second, or fourth, rather it was from the previous set of four(which had a script reload in between).

Hasn't happened again though, but maybe it was just something with Word.

Ok, now its getting weird. On the third paste, instead of a right/wrong picture it pasted the actual code of the current sub-routine of my script!

This could be related to the AHK bug, nobody is around to fix Crying or Very sad

I see, thanks Laszlo.

Since I don't have the apps key on my laptop, I've remapped caps lock to serve as the apps key:

It should not interfere. The only difference you should see with "CapsLock & key" hotkeys is that the sole CapsLock hotkey only fires, when the CapsLock key is released (AHK waits for potential other keys to detect "Capslock & key" type hotkeys).

I would like to have a script that just allowed me to use, say Alt+1 through Alt+0 (i.e., the ten digits) as individual clipboards. Can this script do this? Can an example be provided of how I could get this to work?

The script in the first post “Provides unlimited number of private, named clipboards”. If you want Ctrl-Alt-1 to copy selection to the #1 internal clipboard-store, Alt-1 to paste it, it is a much simpler task:

Does that need to run in a separate dedicated script file from my regular hotkey script?

I am also having problems with starting up multiple scripts at boot. Sometimes only two of my three start up.

Include the first 6 lines of the script of the last post to the auto-execute part (in the beginning) of your main script, the two subroutines go somewhere among your subroutines (after the Return terminating the auto-execute section).

The updated version isn't working for me. The old one is. I am running the latest AHK on an XP SP3 machine. I copied the script from Lazlo's first post. Can somebody confirm this is the correct and complete script? It is doing nothing.

What happens when you press the hotkeys, like CapsLock+C?

Highlighted text is replaced with a "C," alternating between lower and higher case. Smile

Your system does not seem to support CapsLock key combinations. Just replace the hotkeys to something you like and works, e.g. ^!c, ^!v ... for Ctrl+Alt+c type triggers.

Well I thought I had tried replacing them with something else before and it didn't work, but now it does. Thanks again Lazlo!
