 |
|
Finally I found a way to make my own rich text formated signature in Gmail or any other application you need/wish to.
You dont need any tweaks/plugins at all: all you need is this AutoHotkey script. Once you save any content to a file, you can use that anytimes. It is quick and very good for my needs. Hope it works for you too.
USAGE:
Script is in two portions.
1st one to save the content to a file,
2nd one to load the saved clipboard file and paste to the application
So here is the 1st script to save the Clipboard to a file:
| Code: |
;
; Author: Arber/Beni Dhomi, www.dhomi.com, <opera@dhomi.com>
;
; Script Function:
; Copy a formated content to the Clipboard, then Save it to a file
; Then Load this file anytime to the Clipboard and paste it to Gmail or any other application you wish
;
; SAVE file2clipboard
FileAppend, %ClipboardAll%, filename.rtf ;put here any filename you wish
return
|
The 2st script to load the file to the Clipboard and paste it:
| Code: |
;
; Author: Arber/Beni Dhomi, www.dhomi.com, <opera@dhomi.com>
;
; Script Function:
; Copy a formated content to the Clipboard, then Save it to a file
; Then Load this file anytime to the Clipboard and paste it to Gmail or any other application you wish
;
#a:: ;Windows+a is the trigger
; ---
; LOAD file2clipboard
FileRead, Clipboard, *c filename.rtf ; look for the use of *c before the filename.rtf. so dont change that
; ---
; paste
Send ^v
return
|
Well, have a lot of fun and tell me if you liked this script from me.[/code]

| Code: | ---------------------------
scratch.ahk
---------------------------
Error: Out of memory.
Line#
010: Return
---> 014: FileRead,Clipboard,*c richtext.rtf
018: Send,^v
019: Return
020: Exit
020: Exit
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Edit - Ah, I see my mistake... I tried using the second script only (with an existing rtf file)... The first script is necessary for this to work... I'd suggest a different extension since there's not really a valid .rtf file involved... Cool script!

this is pretty much the functionality i require, but i can't get it to work. i'm relatively new to AHK. how do you trigger the first script?
basically what i'd like to do is copy a form letter and paste it into gmail with links and everything. if there was a way i could fill in fields too, that would be amazing, but for now i'd be ok with just copying a file and pasting it in.
can anyone help me?
thanks  |

@Some.NET(Guy)
Make your signature, then copy it and run the first script.
Run the second script, and whenever you press Windows Key + A, your signature will be loaded to your current clipboard. |

@purloined
thanks, but how do you run the first script? there's no trigger... just by putting it in a file and clicking on it? |

Copy some rich text into your clipboard, then run the 1st script. It will save the file that the second one uses. If you don't already have AHK installed, you'll need it to run the script. Just save it as 'something'.ahk
