[Feature Request] New function: Add to clipboard #84

Open heldheld opened 1 year ago

heldheld commented 1 year ago

I'd love a function to quickly send predetermined text or an image to the clipboard.

Example1: Sometimes I need to quickly paste the hexcode of a colour I often use in some random application or website. It would be mighty convenient if I could just open my pie menu, navigate to my colours sub-menu, select the colour I need and just have the hexcode send to the clipboard, instead of searching for it in my notes and copying it manually.

Example2: I think this could also be nice if you have a GIF collection or something that you'd like quick access to.

Maybe it could even be nice to be able to quickly add files to the clipboard, but that wouldn't be a priority, I'd say.

Hope you're doing well, I'm still loving this application a lot :)!

PowerToys has a color picker with a history function, you should check that out. You can also set folders as pie options in AHP so you can have one or more GIF folders assigned to your pie menu if that helps you.

Thanks for the suggestions, I do already use both of those options (love PowerToys btw!). These are just examples though, the functionality could be used for a lot of different purposes. Any text/images/files that you'd like quick clipboard access to. It's already very doable to just let AHP start up another AHK script to put something to the clipboard, but then it might as well be native to AHP.
