Multiple Copy & Paste shortcut keys.

June 27, 2007 8:20 AM

How can I have multiple Copy & Paste shortcut keys at the same time on Win. XP?

I am looking for a way to setup my keyboard so that I can have up to 3-4 separate Copy & Paste functions at the same time via the keyboard.

I am using Windows XP

To clarify, do you want each copy/paste function to work independently (ie. store different things at a time)?

I think Clipomatic might work for you. It allows you to keep the last several bits you've copied in a clipboard, and paste them at will via keyboard shortcuts. It also allows you to set up custom clipboards that contain much-used text chunks.

Ditto is fantastic (I used arsclip for a while, but it didn't play well on my system). Not exactly as you described though..

I'm sure it's overkill... but AutoHotkey is definitely going to be useful for this. If you go this route and need assistance creating the script for it let me know.
