If you want to copy and paste via ctrl-c and ctrl-v into Windows command prompt (versions XP through 8.1) (ie, copy/paste into the console window, or the terminal window) then this script should help. The ^v paste function idea I got from MakeUseOf.com @
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-cool-au ... ipts-make/, and then wrote the ^c part. You have to press ctrl-c twice, first to enable the "Mark" mode, whereby the mouse (or shift+arrow keys on keyboard) can select the text to be copied. Then clicking ^c again actually copies the marked/highlighted text. Then pressing ctrl-v pastes the text at the current cursor position. It's a bit more complicated than it should be, but still fairly intuitive and very helpful to me personally, and probably others who aren't so familiar with console-window navigation.
Code: Select all
; The below hotkeys work in the console-window (Windows Command Prompt) only... and roughly enable normal usage of ctrl-c and ctrl-v for copy/paste.
#IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
{
^c::
If toggle != 1
{
CoordMode, Mouse, Window
MouseGetPos, x, y
MouseClick, Right, 40, 80 ; this opens the Console Window's context menu... and then selects 'Mark'.
Sleep, 0050
Send, {Down}{Enter}
MouseMove, x, y
toggle = 1
; MsgBox,,, You may now use the mouse (or shift+arrows on the keyboard) to select some text... then press ctrl-c again to copy the text to the clipboard., 2.0
}
else
{
Send, {Enter}
toggle = 0
}
Return
^v::
SendInput {Raw}%clipboard% ; paste any text into the Console Window... not just text you copied from the Console Window.
Return
}
#IfWinActive
I couldn't figure out how to make the FLASHING CURSOR (ie, Mark-mode cursor) position at the location of the input-text cursor, but that might not be desired anyway. See
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 85%29.aspx for official MS Console functions... maybe you'll get an idea of how to improve this code. Hope someone finds this submission to have been of help. Later.
