if you use it, please send comments and suggestions.
The hotkey to show the menu is WIN+SPACE
The hotkey to switch between modes is CTRL+WIN+C
To paste an item simple click that item in the menu.
To work with paste/edit/save mode(PES mode) select this mode from tray menu or use the hotkey. Then, when selecting an item from clipboard menu, another menu will let you past, edit or save that item. To quickly paste an item in PES mode, just double click that item

new( 0.8 ):
- now in paste only mode you can edit a clip by holding down CTRL while selecting an item, or save a clip by holding SHIFT key, or preview an item by holding WIN key
- now copying the same clip more times should not put more than one item
- thanks to Anonymous90210 for feedback on "features"
- thanks to missdipsy for feedback on "exit function"

new(0.7):
-choose if to work in paste only mode, or paste/edit/save mode (default is paste only mode)
-CTRL+WIN+C lets you switch between modes

new(0.6):
-customize number of items
-numbers for saved clips

new(0.5):
-when selecting an item from the menu, decide if to paste,edit or save(permanently) it.Pasting is quite like before, only you must double click the item (seeingit it's easier than explaning)
PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS VERSION IS BETTER OR IF YOU PREFERE 0.4.

new(0.4):
-Item show "start...end" of the clipboard if this is too long

tip(0.4):
-if you copy a file: in explorer you will paste the file,
in an editor you will paste the file path

new(0.3):
-it looks better
-files saved on txt files to use them if you want
-support for files(beta)

fixed(0.3):
-now all items paste correctly(before some items around 15 didn't work)

Is there possibility to add function for last 20 files that are marked as copy? (copy selected ITEM (file) to clipboard)?

kiu · Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2006 11:53 pm Post subject:

just change clipbaoard --> clipboardAll in lines 28,32
and FileRead, clip, data\%fileNum%.txt --> FileRead, clip, *c data\%fileNum%.txt in line 90.

But in this way you can't see the item names anymore. I'll work on this later

better solution published on first post.
It works for Explorer, xplorer2 and should work for any file manager that contains the word "xplore" in its title

thank you kiu, works fine
a question:
I saved 2 marked text,when I press win+space I see the next 18 lines with contents from 01.txt (2kB)
should they (the next 18 ) be empty ?
for what is the second file (01_b.txt, 15kB) ?

Guest · Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2006 10:39 am Post subject:

You see the next 18 lines with contents from 01.txt because there are only two item in data folder. When you have pasted more than 19 clips, you will see all 20 different items

The file *_b.txt contains informations about non text clipboard, like files or formatted text.

Thank you for replying

new version on first post.

I'm working to a new release. This will add these option:
1)a tooltip will show a preview of the clip item under mouse(when moving the mouse over the menu)

2)submenu at the end of the menu for "saved clips"

3)different actions when selecting a menu item with a mouse button:
-left mouse button will paste the clipboard item(like now)
-middle mouse button will save this clipboard item in
a separate folder(and this item will be present on
"saved clips" submenu)
-right mouse button will allow to edit a clipboard item

I don't know if these options can be implemented in AHK with the use of Menu and I've not much time to spend now on this work. I say that cause I noticed when a menu is called everything is frozen in the script(hotkey,tooltip,....). Maybe this can be solved by manipulating thread priorities, but I don't know absolutly how this works(and I can't study it for now). If the option above can't be implemented with the use of the Menu command, maybe I will use ListView to create a menu on the next release.
If someone can give me elucidations about, please post them here

Sorry for language mistakes(please let me note these too)
