Copy predefined text to Win 11 copy history. Topic is solved

[RDI]

Hi,

My work requires a lot of on-line form filling with comments like "Not Applicable", "Not Applicable. No Customer Requirement" etc. I have circa 10 common strings. I can assign ctrl-1 to 10 and use send, but that means I need to remember which one is which. Instead, I would like to try and use the windows 11 inbuilt clipboard history (WIN + V). I would like a command that automatically fills the history (equivalent to selecting each text in turn and ctrl-C. To produce the 10 strings, that I can then select to paste.

The clipboard command just overwrites the current item in the history. I want an equivalent command that behaves like ctrl-V and pushes a new string on top of the copy history list. Any ideas how this can be done? Thank-you.

There are ways to achieve your goal of not having to remember a bunch of hotkeys in AHK without bothering with the clipboard history. It would be very straightforward to have a script produce a menu of your 10 items when you press a hotkey, and you would click on any of them to send that text. Or maybe just use auto-replace hotstrings so you type a short abbreviation rather than remembering a key combination.

Ah, auto-replace hotstring. That sounds like a great idea - Thankyou, for your prompt reply, and great help. RDI
