Paste from clipboard?

[RicardoTM]

Just a quick question, is there a way to paste what's in the clipboard? Like, using !SetClip and then pasting that on another part of the skin. I want to use this to paste colors not using InputText.

The classic way? Like clicking where you want to paste the content of clipboard and hitting Ctrl - V.

I mean, to use it to set a variable, something like [!SetVariable Color $Clipboard$]. Or an Option, like [!SetOption meter fontcolor $Clipboard$]

the !SEtClip bang is usually for that, but I am guessing that is too simple. The setclip is flexible like any Bang, but it would rely on either a variable that is already set or to use the inputtext feature with the setrclip in fron=t. like this: !SetClip $TypedText$ or a set from a variable such as like this; !SetClip "Test"

Yah I know, but !SetClip is to copy to the clipboard, I need to paste what's in the clipboard to use it in a bang. Like on a color selector you can usually copy the color that you selected, but, I want a way to insert a color into the selector without using InputText because that requires Click - Ctrl+V - Enter. A one click solution would be great.

You could use whatever you are getting the vlaue with, in conjunction with a lerftmouseupaction that's purpose is to past a variable in there. Something (not exactly) Setvariable into the value. that idea might also require !WriteKeyValue to have it happen as soon as the variablee is changed/updated. OnCHangeaction or onUpdateAction as the modus.

The Clipboard plugin may help you. After !SetClip the value of this measure will be the most recent clipboard item.

Code: Select all

[MeasureClip]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=PluginClipboard
DynamicVariables=1

You can !SetVariable Color [MeasureClip] or !SetOption meter FontColor [MeasureClip]

Easiest way to get the Clipboard plugin is from SilverAzide's Gadget patch.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood you, but now I see what you need. Actually there is a way to achieve what you want. You have to use a RunCommand measure, to get assigned the content of the clipboard as a variable.
If you want to try this out, add the following measure to your code:

Code: Select all

[MeasureRun]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Program=PowerShell
Parameter=get-clipboard
OutputType=ANSI
OnChangeAction=[!SetVariable Variable "[MeasureRun]"]
State=Hide

When executing this measure, you get the content of the clipboard pasted into the Variable variable.
Now to execute the measure, use for instance a mouse action like this one: LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureRun" "Run"]. If you add this option to a meter, you get the content of the clipboard assigned to the Variable variable, when you click the meter.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you E-T.

Thanks Balala! I'll also try this method.
