a tweak to use the rapid comandline bar as a clipboard !

[Michael REMY]

hi,

i often use the "comandline bar" (under the 2 side view) as a clipboard manager. yes, i'm do this !
it is very handfull to store quickly multiple text !
But TC always runs it even it is not stering with ".exe .com ..etc" application.
So, when i enter "my cas is blue", it should not execute it...
it would be great if in the options, there would a string test option to not check/not check the .exe presence before the execution.

Because the alert box after the execution is really boring to display its error messag !

have a good day !

Why not use a notepad.exe window as a temporary clipboard? I do this quite often...

I would rather use a tool that _automatically_ saves the contents from time to time...

Strange idea to use the cmd line as a clipboard
The web is full of clipboard managers.
I use "Quick Cliq" for this.
http://apathysoftworks.com/software/quickcliq
It has many other usefull function but also contains
9 additional clipboard entries and its related hotkeys.
Its programed in Autohotkey and even the source is available.

in fact, this control is very handful where it is place :
one clic to open the list, easy selecting
one clic to paste a content
it can manage history too
This combo list is very good and useful !

in it, i place several old command line too like application.exe with many paramter i can't remember but also basic string contents :
- like obvious name of fiel or folder i use often on base named
- like not serious password (for archive files)
- canva name before an operation..
no need to open another application like notepad

Well, the cool thing about clipboard managers is that they're running in the background, waiting to be used and automatically saving everything that is copied to the clipboard. In other words: You don't need to open any extra/seaprate application to save some text, it happens automatically.

As Horst already said, there are a lot of them out there, it just needs a little time and testing to find the right one for you. I use ArsClip. Previously I used a different program whose name I currently can't remember.

It's called command line for a reason - commands are text, but text is not always a command line. So, wrong tool for the job.

You can register an alias # for e.g. cm_ClearCmdLine command and prepend # with a space into each line that shouldn't be executed:

Code: Select all

# text to be saved w/o execution
