Copy shortcut

[tonyroder]

In evaluating QM, I have assigned Ctrl+C to the character "c cedille" (ç) and want to assign the text copy function to Numpad1. How can I do that? [I've used these shorcuts with another keyboard program for a long time, but I now need more functionality]

Thank you,

T.

you can use the keyboard detector if you're using two keyboards like me. see "Keyboard Detector Help" in QM or this post on my blog talking about my setup.

if you are only using one keyboard, go into the properties of the macro and click "keyboard" under the "trigger" tab. put your cursor in the "hot-key" field and then hit the key you want to assign.

I want to assign Numpad1 key, Ken, but when I hit that key, QM registers End.

probably cuz your "Num-Lock" isn't on.

[tonyroder]

So far, so good... Now how do I tell this key to copy highlighted text?

[ken gray]

to copy highlighted text do this.

Code:

Copy      Help

str a
a.getsel
a.setclip

this will put it in your clipboard.

[Gintaras]

To copy text, use Ctrl+C.

key Cc

[tonyroder]

And so it does, thanks. But for pasting, I unsuccessfully tried
str a
a.setsel

What am I unclear about?

[tonyroder]

To copy text, use Ctrl+C.

key Cc

Thanks, Gintaras, but as I mentioned in the opening message, I have already defined Ctrl+c as ç
Which is why I needed another way to copy highlighted text.

Keys pressed by macros are not recognized as triggers. key Cc and key Cv should work anyway.

Unless you use Ctr+C trigger in another program. You can use QM to map Ctrl+C to a character too.

[ken gray]

can you manually paste into the same area?

some window areas are not "editable" that way.

[Gintaras]

Note: a.getsel also uses Ctrl+C.

[tonyroder]

In that case how do I tell F11 to execute Ctrl+v?

[ken gray]

the same way you set Num1 to do the ctl+c
in the macro code window put
'Cv

and in the trigger window put
F11

[tonyroder]

Thank you both. Probably more bewilderment to come as I probe further into QM.
